Hayes: Endorsing against incumbents really is kind of the unwritten rule in this. Tish James, who was a very vocal backer of yours when you were running for mayor—and even a backer of yours when I think it was pretty politically controversial to be so—had this to say. She said she and other political leaders she’s spoken to are disappointed in Zohran Mamdani. “All of us are a little frustrated with the Democratic Party, but you don’t blow it up. That’s what MAGA has done.” What do you say to that?

Mamdani: I think, what is the Democratic Party if not its voters? And what we saw yesterday evening were Democrats across the city turning out and voting for a new kind of politics.

And I’ve been clear time and time again that I believe the only majority in our country is that of the working class. And what we saw is that a focus on the working class.

And I have a deep amount of respect for my friend, Attorney General James. And I also believe that these are the kinds of candidates that we need to see in Congress, as well as the five state legislative candidates that I endorsed that also won yesterday evening.

I made a promise to New Yorkers that I would use every tool at my disposal to actually transform this city into one that they could afford.

And one of those tools is using your political capital to ensure that the people who will fight hardest for that same agenda are going to be there, whether it’s in Albany or whether it’s in D.C.

Marlana Kendricks traveled over two hours from Cleveland to Columbus to oppose Ohio’s new Medicaid bill, HB 795. The Republican-backed bill would ban family members of Medicaid recipients from being certified caregivers.

My favorite video I’ve ever taken.

Absolutely surreal.

One sign of a dying empire is having gladiator fights at the Capitol for the emperor's amusement.

Cats are so good. There's just a little guy in my house! We hug! We don't speak the same language! We're best friends! He bites me! I make up little songs about him! He doesn't know my name! We fall asleep next to each other!

Hacks is a rare example of a show that, for me, got better and better every year. It chose to evolve with its characters and stretch them rather than settle into something comfortable and easy.

Do you realize how badly you have to treat a mammal to stop it from reproducing?

Ah yes, why are people spending $28 on lunch and not why is lunch $28.

Great analysis.
