DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor.
This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why.
Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Remember when Jake Tapper dug in his heels to defend Fox News when Obama dared to move them to the second row of the press room?
Well, now that the roles have reversed, I'm sure that Fox News will -- come on, stop laughing, let me finish

Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.”

Statement from President Connolly:
We are in a world facing the existential threat posed by war and climate change, both of which are inextricably interlinked.
I conveyed the strong view of the Irish people that the normalisation of war and genocide can never be accepted.

I am reminded today that, after an Olympic win, there was a suggestion to name a new Dublin bridge after Katie Taylor.
There was a subsequent letter to the Irish Times saying “I don’t know about anyone else but I wouldn’t like to cross Katie Taylor”
