Affordability is the word that Zohran Mamdani made the centre of his New York mayoral campaign after watching the Democrats lose so badly in 2024.

What does this mean for the midterms?

Later, why the Supreme Court could be about to hand Trump the power he craves to fire whoever he fancies. We talk to Slates' Mark Joseph Stern.
