In Midtown, where one of Andrew Cuomo's staffers is holding a parking spot for him in front of the polling site he's soon expected to vote at. Cuomo is registered to vote a few blocks from here, but still driving over.

Profiles in courage as Mayor Eric Adams and team continue to not call on a credentialed member of the press Chris Sommerfeldt, without giving any legitimate reason.

Eric Adams is going to find campaign donations behind the picture frames, in his knapsack, secreted in a baby doll, inside a pillow with a button...

Peter Orszag is a pragmatic, thoughtful Democrat who served with distinction under President Obama. By expressing concern about the ideological direction of his party, he isn’t cheerleading for the GOP, which has its own problems. He’s urging a course correction.

The NYC Parks just announced that the faux "pilot" program for HIGH-SPEED E-bikes and E-Scooters is now permanent. Just a couple weeks removed from a deadly e-bike crash in Central Park . Shameful. NYC E-Vehicle Safety Alliance Mayor Eric Adams Gale Brewer Shaun Abreu One City Rising Robert Holden
