Holy shit! So excited to see her somewhere again, she is the very definition of civil servant and did amazing work as FTC chair

Man, Mamdani is on a major winning streak… Too bad he couldn't get Netanyahu arrested (but I'm happy he had the possibility researched).

I'm starting to want to move to New York now.

Yeah too bad you have to basically be a millionaire to live there comfortably.

Hopefully Mamdani can help address that (though obviously I'd prefer those improvements first go to the people who already live there and are struggling).

But yeah, every time I read about what he's doing there, it makes me want to live there.

Gotta love having a politician that actually does what they say they're going to do. Fucking love it.
