New York City Mayor Eric Adams is on Capitol Hill today.

He tells me about Zohran Mamdani announcing he's moving into Gracie Mansion:
"Beware of the ghost. I told [Zohran] about it. So the ghost is there. It's a friendly ghost, as long as you're doing right by the city. If you don't become right by the city, he turns into a poltergeist."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hf7ezrajxadu7v3tzcyij424/bafkreigis3istuaryrpny4ksmoh46xcs3yfowvfuj3t3iouxpy5uiyw2fq@jpeg)

also it will never not be funny every time the president calls groceries an old fashioned word.
Trump on Mamdani: "We had some interesting conversation and some of his ideas are really the same ideas that I have. But a big thing on cost. The new word is 'affordability.' Another word is just 'groceries.' It's sort of an old fashioned word but it's very accurate."

This seems to have gone even better for Mamdani than I believed it would when asked last night at my book club for a prediction.
Trump is now defending Mamdani in response to loaded questions from Fox News. incredible scenes

I live across from a park with basketball courts, a skatepark, handball courts, and now pickleball courts and only the noise of pickleball makes me want to rage across the street and do violence (I would never, but the kerplink-kerplunk at 6 am...)

We set out to find the real reason pickleball noise is so annoying
The racket from some 70,000 pickleball courts across the United States has generated bitter fights. If we understand the sound, can we learn to ignore it?

NYC mayoral history made fun is a true feat that was firmly pulled off yesterday with a 10/10 event that brought a huge number of people of all ages together. Kudos to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the campaign.
The scavenger hunt is using NYC mayoral history to paint Mamdani as firmly within the mainstream of that history. On age. On DSA membership. On public transportation policy. It's such a smart way to launch the general election campaign.
OMG the Mamdani campaign is utterly brilliant. Chef's kiss. Art.
