“I would not vote for Mr. Mamdani under any circumstances,” Rep. Laura Gillen, a New York Democrat, told me last week. I spoke to Gillen and a number of her House colleagues about Zohran Mamdani. Here’s what they had to say. Read in @thedispatch thedispatch.com/article/zohran…
“I would not vote for Mr. Mamdani under any circumstances,” New York Rep. Laura Gillen told The Dispatch. New York House Dems cool to Mamdani’s mayoral bid @owen_tilman: thedispatch.com/article/zohran…
She just made a stronger statement “I would not vote for Mr. Mamdani under any circumstances,” Gillen told @thedispatch’s @owen_tilman thedispatch.com/article/zohran…
One of the strongest anti-Mamdani statements I’ve seen from an NY Democrat since last night’s primary — Long Island Democratic Rep. Laura Gillen, who represents a swing seat, says he is “the absolute wrong choice for New York City.”
I'm @elmo. Here's how to protect your @X account from hackers.
It’s hard for me to express what a loser and moron I think you’d have to be take this dude seriously, never mind admire him.
Trump just gave DHS another $165 BILLION through his One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Here's what you need to know, explained by @owen_tilman.
"You have to be too stupid to be a spell checker at an M&M factory to think that's a great idea." @JonahDispatch calls out post-liberals who want to abandon the Constitution.
Intentional self-sabotage seems more and more likely an explanation for the Biden camp’s behavior towards the end.

I was there for this excellent and inspiring speech by @BretBaier, the best TV newsman working. @heymiller has brilliantly built a great organization in the @CollegeFix, training new talent for tomorrow's journalism. This is how it's done.
“The @CollegeFix is a great organization,” said Bret Baier. “And this a great thing, to try to get fair journalists in the bloodstream. We need more of them.”
Hayek on intellectuals’ endless search for “real socialism”
Mamdani wants to “decommodify” housing in NYC. Of all the labels those on the right have lobbed at him, “communist” isn’t too far off.
Zohran Mamdani: “We will slowly buy up the housing on the private market and convert properties into communes.” He is fully a communist.
It’s a shame to watch the race-obsessed fringe of the right try to outdo the race-obsessed woke left.
When conservatives attack Zohran Mamdani for being a foreigner, I just want them to keep the same energy with Vivek Ramaswamy and Usha Vance. Let’s be consistent.
Capitalism's unequal distribution of prosperity is far better than socialism's equal distribution of misery. Experience keeps proving it.
Zohran Mamdani: “I don't think that we should have billionaires.” Do you agree? Is there a point in being a billionaire besides for power?
Free speech means stupid people get to sing stupid things. The right reaction is to mock, criticise and defeat their worldview. Getting police involved is absurd. But once you criminalise some hurty words, you create the demand for all hurty words to be criminalised.
There’s a point in not letting government decide such questions. That people don’t understand this is tragic and scary.
Zohran Mamdani: “I don't think that we should have billionaires.” Do you agree? Is there a point in being a billionaire besides for power?
Thanks for the retirement wishes, Mr. President, looking forward to working with you for a successful 2026. Word to the wise, let’s avoid minisoldr.
