So, the City Comptroller race is a Manhattan/Brooklyn battle, eh? Well, my ex-Bronx Young Dem mentee, @MalaveForNYC, a long-shot, nonetheless, is the only Latino running when Latinos are hungry for a citywide post. I made my mark in a Puerto Rican political club, Ish is my guy.

Even Sheriff Andy would've placed Deputy Barney Fife on the effing roof.

"It'll be fun" like the time Taurasi floored Kelsey Plum when she came into the WNBA after being the then-all-time NCAA WBB scoring leader. https://t.co/RaW8Jh7SFW

@NYStrategist @mwparrott I gotcha. But we don't come from County organizations that are laid back like the Manhattan Dems. Back in the day, I took every county race personally (although I generally liked our opponents).

@errollouis @RepJeffries @sc I'm told black Brooklyn pols highly resent the white-led @nycDSA putting up black faces to carry out their agenda. This certainly reminds of my days battling the New Alliance Party in the Bronx.

@JumaaneWilliams @Mets @nyknicks Mets and Knicks fans are forever the optimists. Mets just reached .500. The Knicks are relying on former college champs to help them beat the Celtics. Enjoy the sunshine because as surely as night follows day, your teams will disappoint you.

Embrace NYC open water swimming: "We have the shelter of the Rockaways and Sandy Hook that keeps conditions calmer than elsewhere. We don’t have the shark population you would have somewhere else.”

Truth. The raw, effing truth. Thank you, Reggie Martinez Jackson!

[Gary Parrish @GaryParrishCBS]

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.

(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Hall of Famer Willie Mays, one of the most exciting all-around players in the history of our sport.

Mays was a two-time MVP, 24-time All-Star, 12-time Gold Glove Award winner, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

In commemoration of "The Catch" as perhaps the most famous play in the history of the Fall Classic, the World Series MVP Award was named in his honor in 2017.

Mays was 93 years old.

WTF! 👉"The establishment’s acceptance of the temporary work permit as proof of lawful immigrant presence is a statement that it accepts Biden’s demographic and political revolution as a fait accompli."
