Senate Democrats just saw a bunch of enthusiasm that led to a resounding electoral victory last week and said “but what if we completely killed all of that?”

I congratulate @ZohranKMamdani on his well-earned & historic victory. We have worked together on a number of vital issues — like delivering historic debt relief for taxi drivers. I look forward to building on that partnership to keep NYC strong, fair, more affordable & thriving.

Somehow the Democratic Party will walk away from this saying “ah yes clearly it was Hakeem Jeffries’ endorsement that did this” or something equally as stupid
🚨It's all over🚨 Zohran Mamdani will be the next mayor of New York City. He is on track to eclipse 50% of the vote. Mamdani will also surely surpass 1M votes, which has not been done since John Lindsay in 1969.

*cough* hey Orioles *cough*
Breaking Cubs news: Lefty starter Shota Imanaga is a free agent, sources tell ESPN. The team rejected their option to extend his contract out to a fifth year. That triggered his ability to exercise a $15 million player option for 2026. He declined that as well.

He still thinks asylum seekers means people who come from mental asylums, it’s one of the most insane (no pun intended) things he has repeatedly said for the past two years and yet no single journalist asks him: is that really what you mean? What you think?
O'DONNELL: Are we going to war against Venezuela? TRUMP: I doubt it. They emptied their mental institutions and insane asylums into the United States of America

I have a feeling the families about to lose their SNAP benefits would give a different assessment
Mike Johnson: "Any administration in a govt shutdown has a figurative control panel with dials of pain. While the Obama administration turned it to 10, Trump has kept it to 0 or 1."

Rand Paul, the master of this meme
Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."

*wipes away tears* yep…go Dodgers
“You’re like the best player like in the world. I can’t believe I have this dad.” Ahead of the World Series and his retirement, @Dodgers pitcher @ClaytonKersh22’s kids leave special messages for their dad. 🥹💙

Imagine being a 60-year-old couple making $85k and seeing your premiums jump an extra $13,700
Maryland will provide state subsidies for many enrollees if enhancements expire. Still, premium increases will be large, and not all enrollees are eligible for the state support: a typical 60-year-old MD couple making $85,000 will face a $13,700 increase in premiums. (2/4)

I know pointing out that Shohei is incredible is like pointing out that Mt. Everest is pretty high up, but annihilating two home runs AND pitching 5+ innings of 1-hit ball in the NLCS is just other-worldly

Even if he’s on the Bengals, there’s something beautiful about Joe Flacco beating the Steelers
