“This city is unnatural. It laughs in the face of God” - @ClaytonGuse addressing the listeners of @WNYC
I don't think the staff of the New York Daily News took a shot at the New York Daily News. They are the New York Daily News. I think they took a shot at gazillionaire Heath Freeman, who must be out of money. A real shame. I wonder where it all went.
WE FIXED IT: Obviously our successful rally had an effect on @NYDailyNews management, who felt compelled to “write” an op-ed. Unfortunately it’s full of mischaracterizations and missing key facts. As journalists we couldn’t let that slide, so we got out our red pens…
There are few things more radicalizing in this city than a 20-minute headway on the C train during AM rush.
This is really important work; kudos to @MiamiHerald for pushing for this information to be made public.
NEW: The @MiamiHerald has obtained a list of hundreds of people detained or scheduled to be at Alligator Alcatraz. The government isn't realizing names. Families and attorneys are having trouble finding people at the site We're publishing the list here: miamiherald.com/news/local/imm…
WNYC and Gothamist's @s_nessen quacked this case seven months ago. You wouldn't know that from reading this story in the Post, whose editors offer no link or attribution. gothamist.com/news/who-is-le…

The @andrewcuomo team blaming polling for missing @ZohranKMamdani's surge is rooted in both truth and deep irony. One poll got close: politico.com/news/2025/06/1…
.@andrewcuomo spokesperson - NOT Cuomo -responds to primary loss "This primary saw a massive spike in voters under 30, and those who had never voted before...which is why no poll or model predicted the outcome "We’ll be continuing conversations...while determining next steps."
This is a wallop, especially when you compare it to Adams razor thin primary victory in 2021 (he won by just over 7k votes after ranked-choice tabs).
The ranked-choice tabulation is out. Zohran Mamdani 56% Andrew Cuomo 44% On the third ballot.

Pool's participation in the Dec. 2024 fundraiser, which Adams attended, comes after Adams' campaign insisted this week the mayor "has never had contact with" Pool in response to @ClaytonGuse reporting on his petitioning work for the campaign. nydailynews.com/2025/06/27/ex-…
New: Before being hired to run Mayor Adams' petitioning operation, Trent Pool, a political consultant accused of strangling his girlfriend, gave the max amount to Adams as part of an apparently illicit fundraiser at Brock Pierce's Puerto Rico mansion. nydailynews.com/2025/06/27/ex-…
Sliwa’s favorite thing in the world is to run for mayor and show us his many cats. I can’t imagine he gives that up for a patronage job.
NEW: Prominent donors are gunning to get Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa a job in the Trump Administration in hopes of pushing him out of New York City’s mayoral race, sources told me. The aim is to open up the GOP nomination — and the nearly 30% of the vote someone…
As Mayor Adams moved to skip the primary and run for re-election as an independent, he hired RFK's petition fixer, Trent Pool, to get on the ballot. Pool faces charges of assaulting his girlfriend in an upscale Manhattan hotel. Adams says he had no idea. gothamist.com/news/mayor-ada…
"There was a union local that had written into its contract that members could take off the rest of the day if the temp went over 92, and sometimes on a particularly warm day, City Hall would send a message to the Municipal Bldg to dismiss people early." nytimes.com/1982/07/24/nyr…
"All he had was name recognition, and then Mamdani had that" —My mom on Cuomo, as I'm telling her about the election results
NEW: @andrewcuomo just conceded the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City to @ZohranKMamdani. Cuomo had universal name ID, a $25M PAC backing him and tons of institutional endorsements. Mamdani is a 33-year-old socialist. The magnitude of this can't be overstated.
.@andrewcuomo says “tonight was not our night, tonight was @ZohranKMamdani’s night” after rushing on stage without any notice. He’s already called to congratulate him, he says, as a woman yells “it’s not over”
It appears Cuomo just conceded the primary, and in a much more graceful manner than he conceded his governorship in 2021. "He won," he said. "This is his [Mamdani's] night."
