I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.
1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.
2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.
3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.
4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.
5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.
6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.
7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.
The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

God forbid we stop the White House from driving up gas prices, bombing elementary schools, and prosecuting people over pictures of seashells. Because Susan Collins sure as shit isn't.
Angry MAGA Sportsbar owner in Phoenix Arizona gets heated with me and calls the cops after I sang "Epstein Teen" on a public sidewalk 🤪🤣🤣🦒💙
Please RT this video so Elon has to pay me TWITTER AD revenue money to sing the hits to MAGA 💙🦒
A truly AWFUL situation; last week Border Patrol dropped a “nearly blind” Burmese refugee off in front of a random donut shop in Buffalo, five miles from his house.
He was just found dead, having never made it home.
