"We are giving New York once last chance..." A third federal deadline to halt congestion pricing! From Stefanos Chen + Winnie Hu nytimes.com/2025/04/21/nyr…

In Clarksdale, there's limited transportation and no movie theater. The town inspired Sinners, but many can't travel to see it in theaters. They created a petition to invite Ryan Coogler & team to host a public screening and experience the Delta. NEW: capitalbnews.org/clarksdale-rya…

Lander is also calling for busways on 34th Street and 42nd Street in Manhattan and on Fordham Road in the Bronx, and I spot Jon Orcutt, a DOT official under Mayor Bloomberg who supported Kathryn Garcia in 2021.

NYT Metro is launching a newsletter on the NYC mayor's race. Snd Fran Lebowitz helped kick it off. Her 1st choice? Scott Stringer "He’s not the young Gary Cooper. But New York is full of tall, handsome, charismatic men — they don’t have to be the mayor.” nytimes.com/newsletters/ne…

A graphics extravaganza about how ranked-choice voting played out in the last mayor's race (and how Eric Adams won by only 7,197 votes) as the campaigns strategize over how to take advantage of it this year: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

New York loses (at least officially) one of its longest tenured mayor whisperers

NEW: Real estate giants. DoorDash. Billy Joel. Bill Ackman and 15 other billionaires. How the superrich and big $$ interests are propping up Andrew Cuomo's run for mayor, and raising questions about why they are giving. nytimes.com/2025/06/01/nyr…

Over the weekend, Mayor Adams gave an hour-plus interview at Gracie Mansion, the mayoral residence, to Sneako, a streamer known for making antisemitic remarks. On Tuesday, he banned a reporter from City Hall news conferences for asking a question out of turn.

fyi, reports of derailment at Hudson Yards are inaccurate, MTA says. There is a signal problem at the end of the 7 line that affects Times Square-Hudson Yards stops

Kaz Daughtry, deputy mayor, "played an important role in planning massive raids on city-funded hotels housing thousands of migrants in Midtown Manhattan, only to see them aborted at the last minute." via William K. Rashbaum Dana Rubinstein Jonah Bromwich nytimes.com/2025/06/18/nyr…

NEW: Brad Lander's arrest underscored a growing trend I've noticed covering New York City's immigration courts: more people showing up to "escort" migrants. A look at their work, and purpose, as agents ramp up arrests in courthouses. nytimes.com/2025/06/19/nyr…

Love this format for explainers. Great video!

Zohran Mamdani promised to make New York City's buses fast and free. Can we have both? The policy has split transit advocates, and it'll be a key proposal on the road to November. (Shoutout to the Q23, my childhood ride and 2022 slowest bus of the year) nytimes.com/2025/07/03/nyr…

Solid win. No notes
