  • Mamdani the Frontrunner
    Jul 11 2025

    The Failing New York Times is at it again, digging into the depths of Mamdani’s college applications and collaborating with a eugenicist to… what end exactly? This week the team talks race, and unrelatedly, why Sid Rosenberg is so red. (Is it because John Catsimatidis is making him that way…? Maybe.) The anti-Mamdani coalition is mustering its forces, and Mamdani is fielding it all. Finally, we ponder whether police commissioner Jessica Tisch might have a place in the Mamdani administration, or if she'd be a liability in the long run. Join us for a breezy one from the burgeoning socialist utopia that’s New York City.

  • Mamdani’s Decisive Win and What Comes Next
    Jul 4 2025
    The ranked choice ballots have been counted and Zohran Mamdani’s win is even more decisive. Now that we’ve entered the valley between the primary and general elections, what is the landscape looking like? The team digests the state and country’s (mostly racist) immediate reactions to Mamdani’s primary win, and considers who in the field is worth really paying attention to. Meanwhile Adlan gets a mysterious email tip to come down to a supermarket street corner, and Trump continues his fascist escalation in NYC. Happy 4th, Hell Gate readers.

  • Zohran Mamdani Won
    Jun 25 2025

    The editors gather in the early morning to commiserate and lick their wounds over Cuomo’s tragic loss… How did we get here? How could a democratic socialist run a campaign in this city and win? We’re kidding, the Mamdani campaign threw a perfect game, and rewrote the electorate.


    Last night the team was running around the city covering the election—at watch parties for Adams, Lander, Cuomo, and Mamdani—all with radically different vibes. A bit groggy but with spirits high, we speculate on what Mamdani’s win could mean for the general election come November, for politics moving forward in this city, and (highly speculatively) for the country.
