@jainhugs @mattyglesias What is true I’m asking the question about the assistant? Does Matt have an assistant?

@mattyglesias U r famous enough that ur assistant Ben said that Zohran knew about slow boring when they met during the primary. U underrate ur notoriety

@createcraig Some of his policies are really terrible but I can’t get myself to dislike him lol. Someone should do a side by side of him being asked about King Charles and him being asked about the World Cup.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is announcing today the city will sell 1k tickets to the World Cup tickets for $50.
The tickets will be distributed by ballot and will come with a round-trip bus ticket.

@MicahLasher I think Bores is younger and more interesting. I definitely don’t want Schlossberg in the race but I don’t like Bloomberg, he’s the definition of “the wealthy and well connected” you are attacking in the video.

Our first ad of the campaign is out today.
The way we fight back against Donald Trump is to make government deliver for the people. I’ve done the work — throughout my entire career. Now, I’m running for Congress to defeat a broken politics and deliver for all New Yorkers.

@katz_morris He’s being bankrolled by Bloomberg, he is the definition of being beholden to the wealthy and well connected. He also wants to continue funding Israel.

The weirdest thing about this fixation (from SO many conservatives) is that, whatever you thought in the immediate aftermath, it became clear in the ensuing years that George Zimmerman was an unhinged loser. Yet they still defend his honor.
Tim Miller@Timodc
Obama expressed empathy for Trayvon Martin and @benshapiro had a decade long tantrum. Imagine if instead he had stolen $1.8 bil from taxpayers and had BLM dole it out to whoever they wanted. Because that's what Trump is doing but for insurrectionist whites instead.

Leading the Future is always down to brawl in a quote to reporters or a snarky tweet. Are they up for a (gasp) actually face-to-face? @AlexBores would like to know. Available at your convenience, boys

@NickyFrank30 @neipate96 Also goes to show leftists r not so stupid & can understand the district is full of wealthy old Jewish people so Bernie’s PAC is willing to set aside this issue and still endorse. Leftists can be pragmatic if they want just like they cheerlead incremental progress by Mamdani

Here’s something you probably don’t want to hear:
Alex Bores not being a radical anti-Zionist is helping him with persuasion in NY12
English
@bri_guy_ny @LeadingFutureAI @AlexBores Bores should get Bernie Sanders to endorse him and hold a forum in his direct on the dangers of “AI”
English
I've been thinking about this all morning. One of the hardest statements I've ever seen from a candidate for office.
So, @LeadingFutureAI -- you going to take @AlexBores up on his offer to debate?
Or will you continue to cower while running millions in misleading ads?

@ryangrim @MichaelLangeNYC You should get @alexbores and @MicahLasher too, I don’t rlly understand any differences between them so u can help

Coincidentally Darializa Avila Chevalier will be on Breaking Points Thursday
Michael Lange@MichaelLangeNYC
The closer I look, the more I'm convinced that NY-13 — Adriano Espaillat vs. Darializa Avila Chevalier — is a pure toss-up. NY-12 also feels frisky. Schlossberg is fading, Conway is stagnant, but Lasher is not pulling away. Super PAC attacks are helping Bores...

@chyeaok @LinkofSunshine There’s no other explanation for why similar ideologically positioned candidates get away w some stuff more than others without acknowledging that political talent still matters & some ideologues keep wanting to minimize it x.com/daveweigel/sta…

Curious why Raman is getting dragged for doing exactly what Zohran did, treating “defund the police” like a cringe Robin Thicke song that everybody was into that summer cnn.com/2025/07/31/pol…

Insane goalpost move lol
She literally said that it meets the criteria for genocide and she’s being dunked on for… i don’t even know
adri ♡@socialistadri
MALLORY MCMORROW CAN'T SAY THE "G" WORD WITH HER CHEST 😭 NOT HER SAYING "IT MEETS THE CRITERIA"
English
@chyeaok @LinkofSunshine But thats why Im arguing that candidate quality still matters. McMorrow just seems like a stupid person who doesnt know what she actually believes. Slotkin did better bc she has a stronger belief system so could hold her own better, tho not by much.
English
@MicahLasher @GovKathyHochul @NYCMayor Why are all the left wing groups behind Alex Bores? It’s interesting he didn’t budge on Israel yet they all still prefer him over you
English
Thanks to @GovKathyHochul and @NYCMayor, New York is investing in the next generation.
Governor Kathy Hochul@GovKathyHochul
Universal child care means parents can stay in the workforce, children get the strong start they deserve, and families can stay in the communities they love. That’s the future we’re building in New York.
English
@MicahLasher @GovKathyHochul @NYCMayor I’m genuinely confused why Mamdani’s guy Morris Katz is working for u while all the Bernie aligned groups are behind Alex Bores?
English
@chyeaok @LinkofSunshine How did u think Slotkin did here on Breaking Points? It was even more hostile but Slotkin handled it better than McMorrow tho not by much: youtu.be/AFrEJTFbSTc?si…

@lewisronberg @LinkofSunshine It’s possible, but consider the kinds of questions/framing Mamdani dealt with w/ the abundance people vs this interview. Like they took it was a win when Mamdani moved in their direction, mcmorrow is being slammed despite that here.
English
@chyeaok @LinkofSunshine Yes u are right in some sense I think McMorrow interviewing w this Matt guy is more like Mamdani agreeing to an interview with Bari Weiss. On the other hand, he did go on Fox News where they rlly did want him to lose
English
@lewisronberg @LinkofSunshine Like Thompson wasn’t operating as a supporter of another campaign trying to embarrass Zohran. I think that is what is happening to mcmorrow here
English
@LinkofSunshine It’s because this (the interview, the criticism of her appearance) is all in service of supporting another more left wing candidate in the race.
English
@freedlander I’m still confused why Mamdani’s guy Morris Katz is working for lasher while all the left wing Bernie groups have endorsed Bores?

Running for the seat held by Nancy Pelosi and trashing one of the greatest leaders in congressional history is certainly a choice!
Saikat Chakrabarti for Congress@saikatc
I decided to run for Congress against Nancy Pelosi because we need a new generation of leadership to deliver a fundamentally better life for ALL — not just stop Trump. Our strategy has been to win votes directly, building the largest field operation in San Francisco history, knocking almost half a million doors. That's how we're going to win this thing, not because of corporate PACs or establishment endorsements but through the support of San Franciscans.
