An Adrienne E. Adams that we haven’t really seen before - a personal glimpse behind the scenes at her family. This is a message that could land with some New Yorkers if she gets the funds together to spread it wider

Hochulesque as defined by rebeccaclewis.bsky.social "Hochul’s trademark negotiating style as governor: surprise and delay."

How serious are u about stopping Cuomo, a caller asks WFP-endorsed mayoral candidates at a tele-town hall. "We each individually believe we will be the best mayor of the city & we also understand that what unites us is a common desire to defeat Andrew Cuomo," Zohran Mamdani says

Among the latest batch of donors to the pro-Cuomo PAC "Fix the City" is Lyft, which kicked in $15k last week

The PAC dropped $625,000 on tv and digital ads running this week too

The face of someone who was just reminded there is still five weeks left of this shit

Pretty fascinating to have Cuomo's campaign effectively defending Letitia James as being politically targeted by Trump with the criminal investigation. I don't think Cuomo *himself* has said anything about James. They're political foes, and she's supporting his opponent.

Inbox: Adrienne Adams' campaign projects that they'll get matching funds after a crucial fundraising deadline for the primary. CFB will be the final judge of course

Thursday's Weather Rating: 1/10 Immediately no. Rain, heavy at times, with localized flooding expected throughout the day. Breezy, with onshore winds up to 20mph and high temperatures barely reaching the lower 50s. The vibes are bad.

NEW from me: In the low-profile, lopsided & weirdly acrimonious race for public advocate, Williams' strategy is clear. Rajkumar seems to be banking on the possibility there's enough anti-Williams sentiment among moderates to motivate them to oust him 6/24.cityandstateny.com/politics/2025/…

SCOOP: Kathy Wylde has been a confidant of mayors, governors and corporate titans, leaving fingerprints all across modern New York City. This morning, she will announce she's retiring from the Partnership for NYC. More on NYC's preeminent civic fixer >> nytimes.com/2025/05/22/nyr…

In response to this, WFP's Ana María Archila said she was "saddened to see that video, but I don’t doubt that she feels spurned by the Party.” More here: cityandstateny.com/politics/2025/…

I for one hope Kathy Wylde's successor shares her best quality: a willingness to get on the phone and chat with reporters without being mediated through 15 layers of PR crainsnewyork.com/politics-polic…

City Council candidates on Manhattan’s East Side are contending with the Carolyn Maloney factor as daughter Virginia Maloney runs for Council District 4. “Many days, it feels like I’m running against Carolyn Maloney,” said one rival candidate. cityandstateny.com/politics/2025/…

Lobbying firms power frontrunner Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral campaign from Nick Reisman Sally Goldenberg politico.com/news/2025/05/2…

It's CFB filing day, and the first mayoral candidate to get his latest disclosure in is independent Jim Walden. He only pulled in $55K in the latest window & spent more than $930K (including repaying himself for a $500K loan). He's still sitting on $2.1M in cash on hand, tho.

What can possibly go wrong?
