NEW: Chi Ossé, an ally of Mamdani, has filed paperwork to challenge Jeffries from the left.

Updated records show Mike Bloomberg gave more than $13 million to efforts to boost Cuomo and attack Mamdani, including the group that tried to link Mamdani to 9/11.

“He should take notes from successful mayors” including no current or former New York mayors

NBC, The New York Times, and most importantly @hellgatenyc.com call the NYC mayoral race for Zohran Mamdani.

NEW: I predicted the results of the New York City mayoral election BLOCK by BLOCK. 🚨Spoiler Alert🚨 Zohran Mamdani is going to win 2,000,000+ Votes, 120,000+ Blocks, 350 Neighborhoods, 5 Boroughs, 3 Candidates ONLY 1 PREDICTION: www.michaellange.nyc/p/predicting...

By noon, with nine hours left of voting, we've already surpassed the number of New Yorkers voting in a mayoral election going back two decades. Here's @thecity.nyc's first pass from the polls. www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/04/n...

As we see indicia of big turnout in today's NYC mayoral election, worth keeping in mind that roughly one in seven adult NYC residents are categorically barred from voting. If you're on the fence about turning out, remember that this is a privilege many of your neighbors do not have

"I think had [the reform] actually been implemented, we would have seen tens of thousands of New Yorkers who have been locked out of participating within civic life really pumped to vote, regardless of the election." Read my dispatch in @boltsmag.org on the failed promise of NYC noncitizen voting

Rep. Dan Goldman, a relative moderate and staunch Israel supporter who represents some of the most progressive neighborhoods in Brooklyn, has long been a target for the left. Now City Council Member Alexa Avilés is looking to challenge him. www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

US comedians defend decision to play in Saudi Arabia: ‘They’re paying me enough to look the other way’

The Big Apple’s $30-billion social safety net amounts to a badly frayed patchwork of systems that still cannot reliably get New Yorkers in psychiatric crisis from subway platforms to hospital beds, a Streetsblog investigation has found.

good one to read as more and more polls come out this fall

New York City mayors are limited to serving two terms, 8 years total. But it Mamdani wins, there’s a very plausible scenario where he gets to actually serve a total of 11 years. And that reason is on the ballot this fall, so I explained it here: boltsmag.org/new-york-cit...

“I want to be clear: Andrew Cuomo is a snake and a liar. I am in this race. And I’m the only one who can beat Mamdani,” Adams said. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Can Adams drop out now, and what happens if he does? Here’s what to know: buff.ly/tJ54ZCp

BREAKING: Despite public denials earlier today, NYC Mayor Eric Adams has told a small group of friends and advisers that he is seriously considering job opportunities that could prompt him to suspend his re-election campaign, according to people familiar with the conversations.

it’s almost like all the attacks calling Mamdani antisemitic were vapid bad faith bullshit created by politicians with no policy plan other than smashing the “scary muslim” button

Yes, working-class New Yorkers are leaving New York City at significantly higher rates than wealthy residents. nysfocus.com/2025/07/29/a...

Probably smart for him to be thinking about this possibility, but truly a tragic sign of our times that he has to: nymag.com/intelligence...

Trump admin goes after NYC in new federal suit:

If he becomes mayor, Zohran Mamdani will have to tackle New York City's biggest beast: the NYPD. @alexvitale.bsky.social has some suggestions for how to do just that.

Stop spreading this garbage about em dashes in ACTUAL EDITED PROSE OH MY GOD. Plenty of actual human beings know how to type em dashes! We’re called “writers” and “editors” — maybe you’ve heard of us?

CNN reports Cuomo has decided to keep his 'third-party' ballot line, rather than drop out of the race — but also that he appears to be putting his campaign in hibernation for now and will decide later on whether to run actively. (Not that he ran that actively this spring) www.cnn.com/2025/06/26/p...

Starting your "Here's how this guy could be a good mayor" piece with "This Muslim guy has to prove to us he's not an anti-Semite" is complete bigotry www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/how...

A Cuomo internal has him up 42-30 in the first round, and beating Mamdani 56-44 with RCV. A Mamdani-supporter poll has it 40-33, with Cuomo barrrrrely winning 51-49 with RCV. I've got the poll memos and analysis for what looks like a two-person race: www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

A Student Journalist Covered a Pro-Palestine Protest. Soon, Her Graduation Came Under Threat. By @meghnadbose.bsky.social www.cjr.org/news/student...

This seems like a big deal: The NYPD shared a Palestinian Columbia protester's sealed arrest information with ICE, which promptly detained her and whisked her to a Texas jail. The NYPD claims, without offering evidence, that this doesn't violate NYC sanctuary city laws: apnews.com/article/nypd...

The NYPD has quietly changed its enforcement policy towards bicyclists, slapping them with criminal summonses instead of regular traffic tickets for low-level offenses such as passing through red lights or not stopping at a stop sign.

NEW — Emails show Mohsen Mahdawi pleading for months to Columbia for help. He asked about an FBI visit to his home & a mysterious break-in. He also asked Columbia to publicly clarify a lie the Trump admin would later cite to justify detaining Mohsen. No response. He was detained a month later.

Both at make-or-break moments in their political careers, Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul aren’t at each other’s throats yet. But few believe that Cuomo, if elected mayor, will sink comfortably into the role of second fiddle. www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...
