Zohran Mamdani arrives at Centro Islamico Del Caribe in San Juan. Heβs attending Jummah prayers and then doing food distribution for the Somos day of service.
Iβm walking into City Hall from one direction while Mayor Adams comes from the other. Before I can get a word in, he says βThis is New York, we donβt wear Boston hats.β
Itβs a Brooklyn Dodgers hat!
Man in the black and white flag mask biked in circles around the Zohran Mamdani presser in Jackson Heights calling the mayoral candidate βa terrorist.β After a minute or two of that, this muscular man screams at him to get out of here with his bigoted shit.
Standing in the cold for 20 minutes last night, I talked to just one #NY03 voter.
He was for Suozzi. Why, I asked?
βWell, I'm trans, so I'm not going to vote Republican because they're trying to kill us.β (1/3)
Curtis Sliwa worked the 3 train, even meeting a man with a Mamdani button.
Omar Jadwad told me after heβs canvassed for Zohran. βNeither Sliwa nor Cuomo has a solid, workable vision for the city. But he appreciates that Sliwa is working. βYou donβt see Cuomo out there.β
βYouβre that guy Zohran?β Mayoral candidate is outside the Museum of Natural History on the Upper West Side for the first day of early voting.
βI was watching an Instagram video of you this morning!β another voter says.
Mayoral candidate Brad Lander was cuffed and detained by ICE agents after asking to see a warrant for people who were detained after an immigration hearing. Video from the city comptrollerβs press secretary @chloecbristow. She says heβs still being held in 26 Federal Plaza.
βIt feels pretty great,β Cuomoβs 2018 opponent Cynthia Nixon said. βI don't know how or why he would try and come back from this. Although I'm not really sure why he ran again after being so trounced in the primary, but I think this is definitive, and it feels very good.β
Police say cutting $1 billion from the NYPD budget could set city crime control back 30 years.
βThe negative impact of a cut of this magnitude would be felt in every neighborhood citywide.β
