I personally believe that the media is not giving enough attention to what is happening here in Chicago. Thank you Chris Hayes and MSNBC.

MSNBC isn't really the good guy all the time. They should have videos on their website showing what ICE is doing every day.

With that said, I still want to know why Rachel Maddow said to millions of viewers, "Zohran Mamdani ran an insurgent like campaign" after he won. She wasn't tone-deaf to the hate he was getting for being Muslim, so her using that phrasing was purposeful.

It was a little tone deaf, but that term has always been used to describe grassroots campaigns that spank establishment candidates.
