Two detainees died on Rikers today - one at 3 pm, another at 4:30. Unclear what the causes are right now. DOC says one was in “medical distress,” another was a “medical emergency.”


A word from one of @andrewcuomo's accusers. Unclear what the status of that defamation case is. Last I heard, a notice of claim had been filed but not an actual complaint.

There have been a lot of discussions about my gynecological records and yet barely any mention of the fact that I STILL am not safe to discuss this personal experience publicly. All this as he claims he will make NY safer, while his super PAC takes in millions from billionaires



The CFB has no comment on this. I will say there is no provision or rule that would allow for this to happen within CFB. And there's court precedent saying you cannot issue more public funds because of IE spending. Remember it's not actually Cuomo's campaign spending the money.

At the @NYCCFB this morning, @ZohranKMamdani is asking the board to increase the spending cap - since @FixTheCityNYC, a pro Cuomo super PAC, is spending millions. In short, the CFB will likely not do that. Fix the City spending is completely legal under Citizens United

Weird misinfo in @NYCMayor’s release on extreme heat and other weather issues. The hurricane season in NYC is most active starting in August but it began June 1 for the Atlantic Ocean. We have historically seen remnants of storms in June and July that dump lots of rain

.@AdrienneEAdams repeatedly refused to say who she ranked on her ballot and in what order. Including if she voted for @ZohranKMamdani and/or @andrewcuomo. Here’s me asking her a second time if she voted for Cuomo:

NEW: @AdrienneEAdams declines today to endorse rivals, even as her top surrogate - @TishJames - has backed @NYWFP's slate. Adams' team prepared a statement backing opponents today, but internal dissent blocked its release. W/ @JasonBeeferman politico.com/news/2025/06/1…

Scheduled for @colbertlateshow on Monday, Primary Eve in NYC: Idris Elba, but also @ZohranKMamdani @bradlander


News from @NYCCFB - @MrMikeBlake finally gets his matching funds - more than $2 million. A bit late to make an impact FWIW


I have thoughts on who has the best rhythm here.

The NYC primary is in 5 days — candidates are out in South East Queens at a Juneteenth festival. The two stepping has started. Cuomo expected to make an appearance too. Unclear on the two step.



.@GovKathyHochul signed both parkland alienation bills for Metropolitan Park and Bally’s last night - meaning both projects can inch forward in their casino application process

NEW: @MikeBloomberg just gave $3.3M to the pro @andrewcuomo super PAC, bringing his contributions to $8.3M - 1/3 of the PAC's $24M, @NickReisman reports. In the race's final days, the PAC is blanketing mailboxes & airwaves with anti-@ZohranKMamdani ads. politico.com/news/2025/06/1…

WATCH: @NYCMayor banning our reporter in the midst of a press conference is outrageous and an assault on freedom of the press

Mayor Eric Adams just barred @C_Sommerfeldt from coming back into the off-topic series. "Make sure security knows, he's not allowed back into this room," Adams says. Chris is rarely called on (on purpose) during off-topic.



“Our constitutional democracy is not fine,” says @bradlander


.@GovKathyHochul says charges against @bradlander have been dropped

He’s out



He’s out


.@bradlander expected to be released momentarily
