In this week’s Stiles Section, @AndrewStilesUSA covers Zohran Mamdani’s Mad Tea Party. All three of the terrorist-adjacent, anti-capitalist zealots Mamdani endorsed for Congress won their primaries against establishment-backed incumbents or their chosen successors. They won by reiterating the woke nonsense normal Democrats have spent the last several years trying to disavow, and assailing their opponents as fair-weather communists insufficiently devoted to Israel’s destruction. Mamdani’s candidates—Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and Darializa Avila Chevalier—ran up huge margins among a demographic that has consistently fueled the rise of left-wing radicalism: underachieving college grads still living off their wealthy parents. Here are 4 THINGS WE LEARNED:

In other words, the ascendant wing of the Democratic Party is totally fine with Jews so long as they publicly embrace terrorist groups dedicated to killing Jews. Best of luck to Josh Shapiro, J.B. Pritzker, Jon Ossoff, Rahm Emanuel, and other Jewish candidates considering a White House run in 2028.

The Zohran Mamdani-backed socialists in New York City didn’t just sweep three high-profile congressional races. Down ballot, members of the Democratic Socialists of America dominated contests for seats in New York’s state legislature, and they could be a part of the next crop of radicals to seek a promotion to Congress, @LevineJonathan reports.

“New York’s state legislature—which produced both Mamdani and newly nominated socialist congressional nominee Claire Valdez—is becoming a farm team for Mamdani’s merry band of Israel-hating socialists,” writes Levine.

Under the framework of the New York Times Magazine’s oft-corrected 1619 Project, we should be celebrating America’s 407th anniversary rather than its 250th. It’s only fitting, then, that the magazine is greeting America 250 “with a vast animated project that cartoonishly depicts the American founders as motivated by ‘Anti-Native sentiment’ and a desire to seize ‘Native land,’” @IraStoll writes.

To the extent land was a factor on the westward edges, the key dynamic was consent of the governed—frustration about the injustice that Parliament and the king, rather than the colonists themselves, were the decision makers.
