Immediately after Oct 7, the New York Post unsuccessfully tried to KO the NYC-DSA. Two years later, Mamdani and co. are calling the shots. An excerpt from from Run Zohran Run! scheerpost.com/2025/10/03/h...

This am: Mets owner's casino project faces key vote. Which way will it go? Yes: 2-1. No: 25-1. 🤑 abc7ny.com/post/casino-...

Same as it ever was.

NEW: A previously undisclosed State Department report and interviews reveal accusations that U.S. Ambassador Ronald D. Johnson shielded Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele from U.S. and Salvadoran law enforcement.

COUNTERPOINT airs Mondays 8-9:30pmET wpkn.org 89.5FM Bgpt #CT: @abbymaxman.bsky.social CEO @oxfamamerica.bsky.social on Trump's destabilizing policies around the world; @hammerdaily.bsky.social author of new book "Run Zohran Run" on Mamdani’s campaign to become NYC's 1st democratic socialist mayor.

Wow new book excellent I'd love to see @majorityreport.bsky.social have Ted on @hammerdaily.bsky.social

I much enjoyed chatting about Run Zohran Run! with Curtis Daly, a sharp lad from Leeds. Book comes out this month. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6OU...

Praise for Run Zohran Run! "Hamm's book is an energizing bolt of hope." -Astra Taylor, author of Remake the World "Zohran is the future and Hamm knows why." -Moustafa Bayoumi, Guardian columnist orbooks.com/catalog/run-...

Eric Adams' probation officers are locking people for technical violations including "missing a meeting, breaking curfew or being absent during a surprise home check." Monsters. www.thecity.nyc/2025/07/28/p...

Long-overdue victory for Brian Kendall! Ex-Brooklyn trial prosecutor Eric Bjorneby, who railroaded Kendall, now has **five** convictions reversed by the Brooklyn DA's office. Two involved Det. Scarcella. Bjorneby became a Nassau County judge.🤬 www.thecity.nyc/2025/07/01/b...

Today's headline: Cuo-No!

Despite headline, New Yorker throws shade at Mamdani. Shocking. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Cuomo: "I am tired of what I call the 'Twitter Democrats' who tweet." So 2021. No wonder his campaign has been compared "a breath of hot air." 😜 indypendent.org/2025/05/seve...

I keep seeing people saying "everyone who voted for the Iraq war was disgraced" no they weren't! It worked out great for all of them! Bush got re-elected! The 2016 Democratic Presidential nominee voted for it!!!

My latest w @wdlopez.bsky.social in @truthout.org w support from @economichardship.bsky.social. truthout.org/articles/loc...

“Here’s a fact that should appall New York voters, especially women: You paid for Cuomo’s lawyers to seek the gynecological records of an accuser. Why? It’s a good question that voters should ask the candidate as he makes the rounds.”

I've been away from New York City for the last week. Did I miss anything? 😜

A mega-billionaire is trying to buy the NYC election and his name ain't Elon. 😬

But let’s still hear it for Junior Walker!

Only one true giant was born on June 14. Name-checked in opening line... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf0f...

My unscientific position: the 1st 15 minutes of a debate are most essential b/c many viewers won't last much longer. Mamdani sizzled. Cuomo fizzled. (2x began: "Yeah, um.") Lander & Adams did well. Myrie & Stringer were fine. 7th candidate merits no mention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElGf...

Most Zionists aren't even Jewish, a fact that gets glossed over when critics of Zionism get called "antisemitic" almost kneejerk by MSM mediocrities Christian Zionists 'support' for Israel is support in the same way the noose supports the hanged man

"It was probably not the reception the president was hoping for with his debut at the cultural center he took over and now chairs — half full, half booing, and with a strong contingent of drag queens." www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

NYT's panel of 15 political "experts" almost all belong to the professional middle class (& up). Only one has a union affiliation in bio.🤔

Bezos' new WashPo opinions editor: “Our philosophy will be rooted in fundamental optimism about the future of this country. What we won’t be are people who lecture you about ideology or demand you think certain ways about policy.” Sounds like heady stuff. 😜

Bloomy cites 12/2020 opening of Moynihan Hall (aka new Penn Station) as example of Cuomo's so-helpful "experience." Let's not forget Michael Evans, project manager. "The expedited deadline allowed Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to provide a dose of good news at the end of a traumatizing year."

What Terry Moran said shouldn’t be controversial. It's precisely the context missing from so much network news and corporate media reporting: The motive. And that motive is hatred. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/bre...

City Hall insider re John Lindsay during 1965 campaign: Lindsay is "personable," but a "tyro" (aka novice) in "municipal affairs." nytimes.com/1965/05/16/a...

The NYT doesn't make the best comparison re Mamdani's age/experience: John Lindsay. 1st of 3 posts... www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/n...

Every day the authoritarianism grows worse - Christopher Rufo calling for the Trump administration to "dispatch unmarked vans to follow key agitators and snatch them from the streets while the media are not looking" christopherrufo.com/p/trump-shou...

Two former Attica residents recently told me that when they were there in the early 2000s, there was a large sign in the intake center that read: "This ain't Sing Sing." Meaning: "rehabilitation" was not a watchword. Shut it down and make it a museum. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/10/a...

Somebody just might be packing up the Dodge Charger soon...

Sly Stone, pioneering leader of funk band Sly and the Family Stone, has died at 82

thing about Cuomo is his posturing as the "get stuff done" candidate is complete bullshit. he *sucks* at management. an overconfident, sloppy moron who constantly makes howlingly bad decisions bsky.app/profile/timm...

@lilianasegura.bsky.social and I were in court today where the OK AG's office made clear it is going to retry Richard Glossip for murder -- even though the AG has already said Glossip didn't murder anyone. Our latest here: theintercept.com/2025/06/09/r...

Along with the other six questions, this remains unanswered: Which best describes (the Cuomo) campaign? a) A breath of hot air b) A hunk of two-day-old bread c) A lump of moldy cheese d) A fountain of babble

Indeed. 😜

Possible headlines: "Is Ramos' Deathbed Conversion Real?" "Who is Jessica Ramos?" "¿Por qué, Jessica?" "¡¿Ramos está loco?!"

Nov. 2024: Jessica Ramos responds to Trump gains in NYC by saying she's "on the right of the left." Mamdani asks Trump voters why they didn't like Dems. June 2025: Ramos grovels bitterly. Mamdani keeps sailing.

The depths to which some people will sink in the hopes of being named sanitation commissioner or something are astounding.

And here’s what she said weeks ago to me:

Someone thought no one would ask. @smaldo.bsky.social asked.

The NYPD's Community Response Team is making too many unconstitutional stops and searches—almost exclusively of Black and brown New Yorkers, according to the federal monitor overseeing the department's stop-and-frisk reforms. hellgatenyc.com/crt-unconsti...

Next Monday marks the four-year anniversary of this great moment in New York City history. Who doesn't sleep with sneakers by their pillows?

Shocking, but not shocking. www.thecity.nyc/2025/06/03/n...
