As a core element of a great power’s system of information and indoctrination, the BBC is bound to be a fiercely contested space. In the journalists’ jargon, it is always being ‘rocked’ by scandals, real and imagined. But the BBC now faces two new challenges, and it is not at all clear that it will […]

“Wall Street shivers over ‘hot commie summer’ after Mamdani’s success… When Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described socialist, won New York’s mayoral Democratic nomination last week over a seasoned but scandal-scarred veteran, the city’s financial elite had a meltdown.” — The Guardian
With temperatures across the country rising, and the “red wave” of the election giving way to a different kind of “red wave,” here’s everything you need to have a hot commie summer to remember.
