The Trump-Musk split could signal problems for the president’s agenda-defining legislation moving through Congress. The Cuomo challenge from state assemblymember Zohran Mamdani shows a unified left that could wield power in the nation’s largest city, and provide hope to progressive Democrats across the country.
