That’s like if a capitalist made a hospital everybody could afford (Did you cheat on your wife with Trump?)

New York’s primary elections, which saw Democratic socialists win two House positions and several state seats this week. While every election has its winners and losers, there was one guy who came out on top last night, who wasn’t even on the ballot, and it was Mayor Zohran Mamdani. All three candidates backed by the mayor won their races, leading one commentator to call him a “kingmaker”. A socialist making kings? That’s crazy! That’s like if a capitalist made a hospital everybody could afford. —Josh Johnson 

President Trump has thrown his weight behind the Texas senate nominee Ken Paxton, who has been involved in several political scandals over the past decade, with accusations of bribery, fraud and abuse of office. Last year, his wife filed for divorce on “biblical grounds” after reports that Paxton had been unfaithful. Biblical grounds? I’ve never heard that before. Imagine showing up to your divorce with a Bible, going, ‘He committed all the sins.’ Paxton has gushed about his “love” for Trump, saying “every time I’m around him, it’s infectious.” That’s a weird way to describe your relationship. Did you cheat on your wife with Trump? —Josh Johnson
