Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani says New York will resist Trump 'intimidation'

‘I did better than Mario in 1977’ is the most id moment from Andrew M. Cuomo that you’ll ever see.

And that the Board of Elections has handled twice the usual turnout without a catastrophe is a credit to one of the most mocked and usually dysfunctional arms of municipal governance (not part of state gov, not part of city gov, a distinct third thing — party hackery!)

Highest turnout since 1977 was David Dinkins vs. Rudy Giuliani, which hit 1.9m in both 1989 and 1993.

Jehiah @jehiah.cz · 1d

That’s 1,013,381 today as of 6pm and I believe 1.855M total including preliminary mail in ballots.

Looks sure to pass 2M votes by 9pm.

Elon Musk just posted and pinned this on X and pushing his followers (I guess the ones that are registered to vote in NYC) to vote for Cuomo

xcancel.com/elonmusk/sta...

A screenshot 11-3-2025 X post by Elon Musk made at 2:45 p.m. ET that states.

Remember to vote tomorrow in New York!

Bear in mind that a vote for Curtis is really a vote for Mumdumi or whatever his name is.

VOTE CUOMO!

Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a “weakness.”

“Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

the one and only issue with the episode is the final fight between Bowman and Superman. I get it, they needed to fill time but Superman shouldn't have to struggle with an out of shape detective in a normal helicopter.
