New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani had two words for Republicans who want to label him as the "poster child" for the Democratic party, "Let them."

In a full suit, Mayor Zohran Mamdani jumped into one of the city’s public pools on opening day. Our City Hall reporter, Katie Honan, asked the mayor in April whether he would commit to the dip — a tradition that former Mayors Bill de Blasio and Eric Adams skipped.

An Anthropic-backed super PAC apparently bought these extremely deceptive political ads. The Daily News didn’t endorse a candidate. www.cnbc.com/2026/06/23/a...

via @timbalk.bsky.social New Yorkers who picked up The Daily News on Tuesday were greeted with what looked, at first glance, like a front-page endorsement of Alex Bores, one of the front-runners in the Democratic primary to succeed Representative Jerrold Nadler.

Since RCV started, there haven't been many high-profile examples of contests where it actually mattered: where the final winner trailed among the first-round preferences. (Think Eric Adams, Mamdani, all the Peltola & Murkowski races.) Until suddenly it happened TWICE in Maine last night.

Sad to think the reason there is so little tickertape at this tickertape parade is that tickertape no longer exists. So much less paper in general.

French Montana Backs Fund Set Up for Cabbie Bashed After Knicks Game via @thecity.nyc

The last time the team made it to the Finals was in 1999 when they lost to the Spurs four games to one, with the final game taking place at the Garden. The last time a New York City team won a professional basketball championship was two years ago when the New York Liberty won the WNBA Finals.

HISTORY.

Cheapest ticket on StubHub to Knicks/Spurs game at San Antonio tonight is $539. Cheapest ticket to Game 6 at MSG right now is $11,529.
