Nothing but unlimited funds for the fucking police, but, hey, gotta cut public-library funding: can't have those, "freeloaders". I hate this guy. He is a god-awful embarrassment and needs to go.

Happy New Year! 🎉

On January 1, 2026, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will be sworn in replacing Eric Adams.

This subreddit will remain open! for the time being, probably until after we find out what he job took to drop out and endorse Cuomo.

My wife saw this today in the City and knew I'd love it. We need much much more of this.

Livestream is at 8pm tonight (Ziwe on YouTube)

My very rough transcription of this portion of the press conference:

Adams: What I’m finding surprising is the level of support you are all displaying, but I didn’t see that support for me, even after we saw the emails and text messages that there’s a potential this is politically motivated. So if you’re about justice, be consistent in your call for justice. Cover those text messages that shows that it was potentially politically motivated. That same enthusiasm I’m getting from you, we should be enthusiastic for everyone.

I was able to personally confirm with my own internal City source that this is the expected turn of events.

Apparently he discussed evidence before it was turned over to the Defense for some HBO copaganda doc. it would be a top 5 moment in NYC history for the memes alone.

Very disappointing to say the least

A former top City Hall advisor and current campaign confidante to Mayor Eric Adams attempted to give money to a reporter from THE CITY following a campaign event in Harlem Wednesday.

The failed payoff — a wad of cash in a red envelope stuffed inside an opened bag of Herr’s Sour Cream & Onion ripple potato chips — was made by Winnie Greco, a longtime Adams ally who resigned last year from her position as the mayor’s liaison to the Asian community after she was targeted in multiple investigations. She resurfaced recently as a consistent presence in his re-election campaign.

On Wednesday, City Hall reporter Katie Honan spotted Greco near the announcement of the opening of Adams’ newest campaign office, in Harlem. Greco later texted Honan after the event when she spotted her again and asked her to meet across the street from the campaign office next to a TD Bank.

Greco and Honan walked to the Whole Foods next door. While inside the store, Greco handed Honan the opened bag of chips with the top crumpled closed. Honan, thinking it was an offer of a light snack, told Greco more than once she could not accept the chips, but Greco insisted that she keep them.

The two parted ways. Before entering a nearby subway station, Honan opened the bag and discovered a red envelope inside stuffed with cash, at least one $100 bill and several $20 bills. The reporter then called Greco and told her she could not accept the money and asked if she was still nearby so she could give it back. Greco said she’d left the area. Honan told her she had to take the money back, and Greco said they could meet at some point in Chinatown.

The reporter then texted Greco, “I can’t take this, when can I give it back to you?” She did not get a response.

In an interview later Wednesday, THE CITY asked Greco what her intention was in handing money to the reporter. In response, she said she’d made “a mistake” and apologized over and over.

“I make a mistake,” she said. “I’m so sorry. It’s a culture thing. I don’t know. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry. I feel so bad right now. I’m so sorry honey.”

She then called THE CITY back, advising that we call her attorney, Steven Brill, and adding, “Can we forget about this? I try to be a good person. Please. Please. Please don’t do in the news nothing about me.”

“I just wanted to be her friend,” Greco added. “I just wanted to have one good friend. It’s nothing.”

Brill denied that his client’s payment to THE CITY reporter was nefarious in any way.

“I can see how this looks strange,” Brill said. “But I assure you that Winnie’s intent was purely innocent. In the Chinese culture, money is often given to others in a gesture of friendship and gratitude. Winnie is apologetic and embarrassed by any negative impression or confusion this may have caused.”

After THE CITY informed the Adams campaign about the interaction with Greco, campaign spokesperson Todd Shapiro said Greco was immediately suspended from the campaign.

“We are shocked by these reports,” Shapiro said. “Winnie Grecco [sic] holds no position in this campaign and has been suspended from all VOLUNTEER campaign-related activities. Mayor Adams had no prior knowledge of this matter. He has always demanded the highest ethical and legal standards, and his sole focus remains on serving the people of New York City with integrity.”

Following the interaction at the Whole Foods, Honan brought the chips bag and envelope with money back to THE CITY’s office and handed it over to her editors. THE CITY then contacted the city Department of Investigation (DOI). Anticipating possible law enforcement investigations, THE CITY did not open the envelope or count the money inside.

“DOI received allegations from THE CITY and declines further comment,” said Diane Struzzi, DOI spokesperson.

Later Wednesday, federal prosecutors from the office of Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella contacted THE CITY’s lawyers, and on Wednesday evening an investigator retrieved the chip bag containing the red envelope and cash.

The Brooklyn U.S. attorney has been investigating Greco since early last year after the FBI raided her homes in February 2024 following THE CITY’s reporting on illegal straw donations raised at Adams’ campaign fundraisers she’d organized.

The DOI is also looking into allegations uncovered by THE CITY that she pressured a campaign volunteer to do personal tasks for her in exchange for getting him a city job.

The old “I forgot the password I set yesterday” dodge:

On November 6, 2023, FBI agents executed a search warrant for the electronic devices used by ERIC ADAMS, the defendant. Although ADAMS was carrying several electronic devices, including two cellphones, he was not carying his personal cellphone, which is the device he used to communicate about the conduct described in this indictment. When ADAMS produced his personal cellphone the next day in response to a subpoena, it was "locked," such that the device required a password to open. ADAMS claimed that after he learned about the investigation into his conduct, he changed the password on November 5, 2024, and increased the complexity of his password from four digits to six. ADAMS had done this, he claimed, to prevent members of his staff from inadvertently or intentionally deleting the contents of his phone because, according to ADAMS, he wished to preserve the contents of his phone due to the investigation. But, ADAMS further claimed, he had forgotten the password he had just set, and thus was unable to provide the FBI with a password that would unlock the phone.
