@ZohranKMamdani’s senior adviser @katz_morris is working on @bradlander’s race and worked on the Mr. Rogers-themed launch video, which is a marked difference from his car-crushing mayoral ad.
Inbox: As expected, Brad Lander launches a primary challenge against Congressman Dan Goldman (as @emilyngo first reported he would do). The press release mentions Lander's being endorsed by Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

New: With just weeks left in office, Mayor Adams is dropping a new twist into the debate over NYC's horse carriage industry by ordering some of the steeds deployed in Central Park undergo exams from an outside vet with ties to an anti-carriage group.
nydailynews.com
For years, Adams defended the carriage drivers, siding with their argument that there are ways to protect their jobs and keep the horses safe at the same time. But Adams then reversed course in Sep…

.@tiffany_caban ran downstairs and confronted city official Manuel Castro for skipping the hearing on immigration bills. “You could be up there,” she tells him, asking him to go upstairs and testify in his personal capacity.
Today, the Adams Administration refused to send any representatives to the Council immigration hearing, where we are reviewing 4 key bills that would strengthen protections for immigrant New Yorkers. Where is the mayor's team? The safety of immigrants is clearly not a priority.

Will @ZohranKMamdani address this historic error uncovered by @lizkimtweets ???
On January 1, Zohran Mamdani is expected to be sworn in as New York City’s 111th mayor. But what if that number is wrong? Learn more about a new discovery that could rewrite five centuries of history - and how @nycrecords is connected - here: https://t.co/ltPjmjCJp0

Coming up at the council's stated meeting today: The least dramatic veto override fight between the council and Mayor Adams' admin yet? The council is expected to easily override the mayor's veto of 4 bills, which he did without much fanfare last month https://t.co/abG8gtwEU7

It’s not much of a surprise: The four bills vetoed by Mayor Eric Adams originally passed the City Council with veto-proof majorities.

The news seems to be leaking out, so: I'm hearing Brooklyn BP Antonio Reynoso is expected to announce his candidacy for NY-7 tomorrow, likely in an exclusive New York Times story. He'll be endorsed by a number of (non-DSA) progressives, but not Rep. Nydia Velázquez.
