Earlier today, @elizabethkim.bsky.social with her weekly recap of Mayor Eric Adams's off-topic presser, including various aspects of the mayoral campaign and his recent appointment of Randy Mastro as a deputy mayor. Take a listen: www.wnyc.org/story/report...

On Trump’s first full day in office, Mayor Adams appears in a nearly hour-long sit down interview with conservative host Tucker Carlson. gothamist.com/news/mayor-a...

A new NYPD report, quietly published by the department last week, provides a rare three-month snapshot of police overtime – a long-running source of controversial public spending that has reached a crisis point under the direct oversight of New York City Mayor Eric Adams: bit.ly/4hdz4YN

Cops assigned to the NYPD warrant squad pulled in the most money for overtime in 2024. The data was uploaded to the NYPD website after Jessica Tisch took over as commissioner. w/ Charles Lane & @elizabethkim.bsky.social gothamist.com/news/new-nyp...

Where do the mayoral candidates stand on issues like transit, housing and immigration? Gothamist and WNYC are tracking them in a handy policy guide for voters. Message me questions you’d like to ask the candidates. gothamist.com/news/nyc-may...

Adams has defended Maddrey in the face of misconduct accusations, tho. Asked about some of Maddrey's alleged past abuse of authority, Adams said last year: "I have the utmost respect, confidence in Chief Maddrey and I’m excited that he’s leading my patrol force. I’m excited.”

“It was the perp walk that launched a thousand memes.” gothamist.com/news/did-the...

Mayor Adams delivers his end of year presser where he touts his accomplishments. It’s been quite a year for the mayor — a historic indictment, multiple ongoing investigations, shakeups of top aides in his administration.

hey hey hey! I'm guest hosting @AllOfItWNYC today at noon on @wnyc. 🎤 Get ready to call in at 12pm to tell us how YOU have fun during a NY winter. ❄️ And if the season is getting you down, at 1, @joshgondelman.bsky.social joins us for listener pep talks. Also: Khruangbin! Sasha Sagan! David Lang!

One person “said he came away with the impression the mayor was looking for a meaningful interaction…and an invitation to sit on the large platform where Mr. Trump will be sworn in on the west front of the Capitol” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/13/n...

It’s not the first time Adams has attacked reporters. Although today’s presser came on the night of the mayor’s annual holiday party with the press corps. gothamist.com/news/eric-ad...

@elizabethkim.bsky.social talks about the mayor's reaction to the Penny verdict, insurance CEO shooter's arrest & more. Listen here: www.wnyc.org/story/report...

Am writing more about this today, but feels significant that several powerful local NY Dems and orgs condemned the Penny verdict… but the NY congressional delegation, which includes the party’s House and Senate leaders, didn’t say anything. www.semafor.com/newsletter/1...

“The largest manhunt in recent U.S. history ended in the dining room of a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday morning.” nymag.com/intelligence...

In the end, it was the simple act of distributing photos — not sophisticated facial recognition technology — that led the police to a man they are calling a “person of interest” in the fatal shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO in Manhattan last week.

According to court documents, he was seen wearing a blue medical mask and using a silver laptop when officers approached. Police noted that Mangione became visibly shaken when asked about recent travels to New York. gothamist.com/news/pennsyl... via @gothamist.com @giuliaheyward.bsky.social

Mayor Adams now says he’s exploring the idea of scaling back the city’s sanctuary laws with an executive order. My story looks at the 2014 addition in question and how it came to be passed. gothamist.com/news/eric-ad...

Mayor Adams and police commissioner Tisch says a person of interest is in custody. She credit a tip that came from the public.

“That’s a 33% increase compared to November last year, according to data the agency shared with THE CITY.” Story by @gwynnefitz.bsky.social www.thecity.nyc/2024/12/09/t...

Why a 2014 law that ensured due process for undocumented NYers is in the crosshairs of Trump and Adams gothamist.com/news/eric-ad...

Found this souvenir from the 2021 race

On WNYC, Mayor Adams is asked how New Yorkers can have confidence in the justice system given that he said his case is politicized. He said President Biden’s own comments say the justice system needs to be fixed.

"The report found that local elections held in the opposing odd years are dominated by “homeowners, wealthier people and older people.”"

“Despite the ubiquity of cameras across the five boroughs, seemingly tracking New Yorkers’ every move, the police have not always been able to harness their collective power to find suspects quickly.” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/04/n...

“It's not just that there's exceptionally low turnout in local elections,” said Zoltan Hajnal, a political scientist who coauthored the report. “But it's that that turnout is also exceptionally skewed. Story by @brigidbergin.bsky.social gothamist.com/news/new-yor...

Biden Said U.S. Targeted His Son. Eric Adams Suggests He Can Relate. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/n... w/ Rashbaum

“The Constitution is for Americans” is surprising rhetoric given how hard Adams has worked to cultivate ties with — and donations from — immigrant communities.

“The mayor’s claim has no basis in law.” @elizabethkim.bsky.social with the story via @gothamist.com

My story on the mayor’s inaccurate claim today. gothamist.com/news/mayor-a...

“The Constitution is for Americans,” Adams says, when asked why he’s afforded due process in his criminal case and why he’s open to deporting migrants who are accused — not convicted — of crimes.

Mayor seems clearly interested in working with Trump administration on deporting those accused of crimes. He won’t clarify what kind of crimes or whether he wants to stipulate that migrants receive due process — which is the current sanctuary law.

Mayor feeling vindicated today after being asked about Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter. He adds that it’s been painful to not be able to comment on leaks in his case and defend himself.

Asked about Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter, Adams reads a sentence from the NYT saying that both Biden and Trump now agree that the Biden Justice Department has been politicized.

Interesting to note that mayor is still complaining and angry about migrant crisis as Biden leaves office.
