Regarding Ro Khana and Marjorie T Greene' s coalition. Ro Khanna needs to be very careful about forming coalitions with figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson. Any overlap in policy is temporary, but their goals are strategic. Greene is building influence within the Republican Party, and Carlson is shaping his position as a leading voice in conservative media. When they align with Khanna, it helps them appear independent and broadens their appeal. The risk is that Khanna approaches these moments from a policy standpoint, while they use them to strengthen their image and power. That creates an imbalance where they gain more from the association than he does. Cross-party dialogue is fine, but Khanna must stay disciplined, clear on his values and careful not to become part of someone else’s political strategy.

I’ve got to give Mayor Scott a LOT of credit! His growth now compared to when he was first elected has been exponential!
