Why I joined @thefp: I knew I didn’t fit in when Politico let @benshapiro guest write an edition of Playbook. I told a colleague I was stoked because “this helps legitimize us.” They responded that they were taking a mental health day to process ‘Shapirogate.’
I read all 16,100 of Zohran Mamdani’s tweets 🙃
It’s not stalking, it’s called journalism.
Most people have seen NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s tweets. Few people have read them all. @Olivia_Reingold read through all 16,100 of Mamdani’s posts to get inside the mind of one of the world’s most viral politicians. thefp.com/p/capitalism-i…
In 2020, Zohran Mamdani meant to post a Palestinian flag while fan-girling over @RashidaTlaib. He posted the wrong one. Oops.

Ways I’ve heard sources mispronounce Zohran Mamdani’s name: Mameldeani, Mamdeani, Zoldany, Zoltan Mamdani. One thing’s clear—New York’s elites are learning it fast. They say he’s going to be the next mayor. thefp.com/p/they-know-he…
