Bad news from SCOTUS, good news from NYC

On the latest episode of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot and Aaron Rupar of Public Notice dive into both the awful news from the Supreme Court and the very encouraging news out of New York City.

David and Aaron discuss:

* Why the court’s ruling on Donald Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship is a disaster for democracy—and a recipe for chaos

* How Zohran Mamdani exposed the old guard’s decay, and why it should serve as a warning to incumbent Democrats

* Why Mamdani’s relentless focus on affordability is a strong message for Democratic candidates just about everywhere

And much more!
