NEW: How did @jessicaramosqns.bsky.social get to this point? It’s about much more than endorsing Cuomo in the primary.

Things are changing! Simone is also eyeing a move to the state Senate, as Brad Hoylman-Sigal – whose district overlaps with Simone’s – is poised to become Manhattan’s next borough president. @sophiekrichevsky.bsky.social @cityandstateny.bsky.social

ICE Agents Invade a Manhattan Little League Field Youman Wilder has coached local kids for twenty-one yearsβ€”including four who have gone pro. When masked agents tried to interrogate his players, he told them, β€œYou don’t have more rights than they do....

When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. β€œI’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

Could heat-related power outages in NYC impact poll sites? The BOE said they have back-up plans, but we could potentially see some delayed vote counts.

NEW: With heat-induced power outages already today, poll site outages on primary day are possible. What does that mean for results? If power isn’t back before scanner backup batteries die, some counts could be delayed a few days. W/ @skastenbaum.bsky.social: www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

In listening to Adrienne talk about immigration, she attacks the mayor, she attacks Trump, but at this point in the race, it feels a little like she’s missing the mark: She hasn’t pivoted to attack Cuomo, which she’d have to do to have a chance with less than two weeks to go
