I put on a podcast, which keeps intrusive late-night thinking at bay. This podcast generally amounts to one person who doesn’t know what they’re talking about, talking to another person who doesn’t know what they’re talking about, about something I know absolutely nothing about, and this triumvirate of stupidity generally lulls me into some approximation of sleep

The political world erupted Friday after President Donald Trump publicly rejected GOP claims that New York mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani is a "jihadist" - a moment that immediately blew up Rep. Elise Stefanik's central campaign message in the New York governor's race. And Washington insiders, journalists, and even Stefanik herself quickly chimed in online, as the New York Republican doubled down on her claim just minutes after the Oval Office exchange went viral. "We all want NYC to succeed," Stefanik wrote Friday on X. "But we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. If he walks like a jihadist If he talks like a jihadist If he campaigns like a jihadist If he supports jihadists, He's a jihadist. And he's @KathyHochul's jihadist."
