The face of someone who was just reminded there is still five weeks left of this shit

Starting a West Wing rewatch with my Dad. We watched it together when I was a kid and it was what got me interested in politics. Both of us (our politics, and opinions on Aaron Sorkin) have changed significantly since we last watched it. Let’s see how this goes.

City Council Member James Gennaro still prefers Eric Adams in the general election, but has rescinded his *endorsement* because neither the mayor or his team ever reached out to confirm his support.

A lengthy statement from the office of @jessicaramosqns about @votejgr filing for her seat (in part)

As @petersterne cited, Queens BP Donovan Richards told the Eagle recently that he would back @votejgr "on day one" in a race against Ramos. He didn't have anything to add today, but a spokesperson said he is standing by that previous comment.
