Maybe the lesson of Mamdani's win is that the time has finally come for the Democratic Party to side with the young in the party's generational split, keeping drifting allies rather than trying to find an inoffensive middle ground. Gift link: wapo.st/44zuWyC

There's been a young-vs.-old dynamic in the Democratic Party in particular for years. Maybe Mamdani is a fluke — or maybe he's the beneficiary of the increasing role of millennials in party politics. Gift link: wapo.st/44zuWyC

Leavitt without a trace of irony: "When you have a totalitarian regime, you have to save face. I think any common sense, open-minded person knows the truth about the precision strikes on Saturday night. They were wildly successful."

Even with all of the important caveats, Mamdani’s win was a blow against the old Democratic way of doing things — and against the old Democrats who run the party. Gift link: wapo.st/44zuWyC

In today’s (free to read) newsletter: the idiocy of suggesting that NYC has become overrun by immigrants, Pentagon pizzas and the speed of the planets. s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?track…

With ICE poised to receive a massive infusion of cash courtesy the Republican spending bill, I figured it was worth documenting what they've been doing with the money they've currently got. Gift link: wapo.st/4lv53Wh

Given the likelihood that ICE will soon see a massive boost in its budget, I figured I’d document what it’s doing to the country with the money it has. Gift link: wapo.st/4lv53Wh

Given the Mamdani discourse, I wrote a bit about billionaires. If you were given $100 a day and aimed to have as much wealth as the world’s billionaires, you’d have had to have started about when animals first developed the ability to breathe oxygen. s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?track…

Trump keeps thanking people for their attention to various matters. So I made a quiz to let you see if you were actually paying the attention he sought. Gift link: wapo.st/4lkTqS0

It is not good that indifference to party politics correlates with indifference to information about politics. Free to read: s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?track…

Look guys, the president wants you to pay attention to some matters and I don’t think you’ve been paying attention to those matters so I made a quiz to see if you deserved thanks for your matters attention. Gift link: wapo.st/4lkTqS0

People who don’t pay any attention to political news aren’t that worried about the state of American democracy. Free to read: s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?track…

Wrote about one of the most striking poll results I've seen in quite some time — a shift that explains an awful lot about the second Trump administration. Gift link: wapo.st/45NVTQf

Mirroring Trump, Republicans have turned even more sharply against pluralism in the past few years. Gift link: wapo.st/45NVTQf

The (free to read) newsletter this week covers 1) good news about murders and 2) documenting New York City. s2.washingtonpost.com/camp-rw/?track…

There is an important political lesson in the Mamdani/college application story. It isn't the one the article was focused on. Gift link: wapo.st/40HTp2j

What if Trump’s gains with minorities weren’t about Trump at all? Andrew Van Dam and I took a look at recent election results in NYC, Toronto and London and tried to figure out why we're seeing similar trends in all three cities

The useful political lesson of the Mamdani-Columbia story is that racial self-identification can be more complicated than a lot of (White) people appreciate. Gift link: wapo.st/40HTp2j
