RESULT: Darializa Avila Chevalier, a challenger backed by New York's left, has ousted Rep. Adriano Espaillat.
An earthquake result, which means all 3 congressional candidates backed by Mamdani have won: Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Claire Valdez.
It should be a no-brainer:
No stock trading for members of Congress, the vice president, or the president.
No billionaires buying elections through super PACs.
The government should work for the American people—not wealthy donors and corporate interests.
After probably the most embarrassing speech to try and convince the world yesterday that the US won the war with Iran, I am reminded that we once lived in a world when a president understood the importance of TRUTH.
Moreover I am reminded that intellectual capacity is essential in our leaders and that dumb is NOT the new smart, no more than a lie is the truth.
I listened intently to Michelle Obama’s speech a short time ago at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center. It reminded me what a tour de force she is. She never mentioned Trump once, while eviscerating him for the tyranny he has imposed on the bottom 90% of Americans.
Should she ever decide to run for president, I would certainly not like to be her opponent that’s for sure.

Not going to lie, the overload of class, dignity, intelligence, humility and grace today at the Obama Presidential Center made me really emotional and angry. It displayed how much US society has fallen.
Michelle Obama just delivered one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard. She upheld her husband’s legacy, defended the dignity of all people, appealed to our better angels, & reminded us of the America that we could be.
What a contrast to the depravity occupying the White House.
A President.
A proud father.
A beloved leader.
A loving husband.
A highly educated scholar.
A Nobel Peace Prize Winner.
Has a beautiful state of the art Center made to honor his legacy and celebrate community.
And living rent free in the minds of every envious racist bigot. 🇺🇸
I know very little about basketball but I do know a bit about public speaking and I can say without any hyperbole that @ZohranKMamdani is one of the greatest public speakers alive on planet earth right now.
Chills.
