Mayor Zohran Mamdani may be the new kingmaker of New York City politics. In a sweeping affirmation of his affordability-focused agenda, all three congressional candidates endorsed by Mamdani in a set of contested Democratic primary elections declared victory Tuesday night. Manhattan and the Bronx's Darializa Avila Chevalier and Brooklyn's Claire Valdez and Brad Lander were all joined on the campaign trail by the progressive NYC mayor in the weeks leading up to election night. Like Mamdani, Avila Chevalier and Valdez are members of the NYC chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, which backed their campaigns.
We speak to John Tarleton, editor-in-chief of the New York City local independent newspaper The Indypendent, about the insurgent left of the Democratic Party and the potential national ramifications of the Zohran-DSA machine. The races also functioned as a referendum on the growing split in the Democratic Party over Israel/Palestine. While the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC funneled an estimated $50 million into their opponents' campaigns, Valdez, Avila Chevalier and Lander refused to take any funding from pro-Israel groups and consistently emphasized their support of efforts to restrict U.S. military aid for Israel. "If you ignore the Palestinian cause of Palestinian liberation, you do so at your own peril," says Tarleton.

 Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/Getty/Unviersal PicturesFresh off his surprise Emmy Award win for Season 5 of Fargo, actor and comedian Lamorne Morris joins this week's episode of The Last Laugh podcast to break down his scene-stealing performance as the "elder statesman" of the original SNL cast in Jason Reitman's new film Saturday Night.
Morris, who portrays Garrett Morris (no relation) in the movie, discusses what it was like to enter the fictionalized world of SNL more than a decade after he auditioned for the show (and didn't get it). He also reveals how his New Girl character Winston's "kind eyes" helped land him his Emmy-winning role on Fargo, tells the full story about how he almost missed out on the sitcom that has defined his career to date, and explains his running joke with New Girl castmate Jake Johnson about a potential reunion.
When Lamorne Morris got the email from his agent about an audition for the role of Garrett Morris in Saturday Night, he immediately replied, "Oh, this is great, I'm going to put this on tape right now. I mean, he is my grandfather."
