In my 3 years covering CM Vickie Paladino, my peers have asked me constantly: “Is she actually crazy?” When I tell her this, she laughs. “I love it when they ask that.” She may be the future of the GOP in NYC. My cover story debut for @CityAndStateNY: cityandstateny.com/personality/20…
"Strengthen ... oversight" ... literally!! get it! cause they're drones!
This is exactly the sort of thing I saw in the District 20 Republican primary when I covered fraud allegations in that race in 2023. More on that here: qchron.com/editions/queen…
Two dead people, and at least one living person who didn't vote, supposedly cast their ballot in the Republican primary in my City Council race. I'm calling upon the District Attorney or the Attorney General's office to conduct a full investigation. nypost.com/2025/07/22/us-…
NYC Charter Review Commission just voted on ballot proposals for the Nov. election: 1: Fast Tracking Affordable Housing – PASSED 2: Simplified review of modest housing – PASSED 3: Land Use Appeals Board – PASSED 4: Modernize the City Map – PASSED 5: Even-year elections – PASSED
Curtis Sliwa is having a presser outside Animal Care Centers of NYC in East Harlem to criticize them for not taking in more animals after they reached max capacity. He’s running on the “protecting animals” independent line in addition to GOP line
"In her eyes, focusing too much on what’s next is the easiest way to lose the plot," @AJeffNY writes of @sarahana in his latest cover story. More here: cityandstateny.com/personality/20…
Cross endorsing is the equivalent of being closed off on love island send tweet
NEW: The campaigning for @ZohranKMamdani won't stop if he's elected mayor. @nycDSA and his volunteer army will continue organizing to pressure the state government to approve new taxes on the rich to fund his campaign proposals. cityandstateny.com/politics/2025/…

Let it be known that I will be supporting a challenger against my State Assemblymember @stefanizinerman.
Proper comma usage is becoming a lost art :(
New Yorkers have spoken loud and clear. And as a lifelong Democrat, I’m endorsing the Democratic Party nominee, @ZohranKMamdani for mayor of New York City.
Thank you @EspaillatNY for joining this campaign for an affordable NYC and for fighting Trump's authoritarianism in DC. Adriano and I know that the only way we can protect this city is by standing firm in our values and standing up for working class and immigrant New Yorkers.
“Both Mamdani and Adams, with their megawatt smiles, off-the-cuff charm and tirelessness, seem hell-bent on making this an election you have no choice but to watch.” cityandstateny.com/politics/2025/…
Elaborating on this, @CurtisSliwa says, "Can you imagine me and Eric Adams? We'd be like two scorpions in a brandy glass! First day in, I'd say, 'Why is Winnie Greco back?'"
! Sliwa says in efforts to get him to drop out of the mayoral race, Adams has “floated the idea” of making Sliwa deputy mayor for public safety !

NEW: @CurtisSliwa tells me there is zero chance he drops out of the race, says @NYCMayor wants to poach his Republican voters. “If the President were to call me himself, I’d say, Mr. President, respectfully, there is only one job I’m interested in- running for mayor.”
The Flushing Meadows Corona Park Aquatics Center is closed – AGAIN – for an indeterminate amount of time, this time for mechanical problems with its interior environmental systems, the great @MikeGannonNews1 reports for @QueensChronicle. qchron.com/editions/queen…
In other news: Happy 37th anniversary to the best, Pam and Stu!!! Love you, Mom and Dad!!!
Poll in the field yesterday, per a source, testing negative messaging against Mamdani — including that he wants to spend “$65 million towards gender-affirming care for minors” (woke language for an attack!) — and positive messaging for Adams, including a YIMBY line.
