* Some people who are mad about Tuesday: Democratic leadership, major loser Jaime Harrison, and Meghan McCain

* Jack’s interview with Darializa Avila Chevalier in The Nation

* What Tuesday’s wins mean for shifting power centers in New York, the strength of Mamdani’s political prowess, and what it says (and doesn’t say) about the Midterms and beyond
