For clarity: pooled events are when reporters work together to split up coverage for either time or space and share notes.
This is the mayor's team releasing a produced video and a staffer asking a question.

Polymarket told NPR it was pulling sponsorship of some creators spreading LA mayoral election fraud claims.
On Monday, Nick Shirley shared a post calling the LA mayoral election into question (it also misunderstood how Polymarket odds work). The post was sponsored by Polymarket.

INVESTIGATION 🚨 A #Polymarket exec used a personal PayPal account to pay major political influencers like Riley Gaines and Brian Krassenstein, who in turn hyped how "accurate" Polymarket is at predicting outcomes.
We uncovered $350,000 flowing this way in 2025 and early 2026.

#NY07 🚨 United coalition of Hasidic voting blocs — including the two Satmar factions (Ahronim and Zalonim) — in Williamsburg endorse Antonio Reynoso in primary for Velázquez’s seat.
Statements ⬇️
Reynoso, who grew up in South Williamsburg with the Hasidic community, told me he’s “deeply grateful” for relationship and the backing. More from his interview TK.

Insane story. Who isn't on the Polymarket payroll at this point?
NEW: @Polymarket is spending big money to quietly pay some of the biggest stars on this platform, like @nickshirleyy, @Riley_Gaines_, @dom_lucre, @alx and its coming out of an exec's personal PayPal account.
POLITICO obtained payment records that show @MatthewModabber sent out over $2.5 million to over 800 people in 14 months, and we verified the identities of about two dozen content creators who received money. Most never disclosed the payments. W/ @mayakauf, @Jtblaeser and @declanharty

Eight losses. Two private investigators. Six cats.
This is the tale of the perennial candidate in Washington Heights who seems to stop at nothing in her bid to oust allies of @RepEspaillat.

New: Mamdani's commitment to back Rep. Adriano Espaillat for reelection was at first so ironclad they shook hands on it last summer, Rep. Nydia Velázquez tells me.
Mamdani broke his promise last week by endorsing Espaillat's democratic socialist opponent. politico.com/news/2026/06/03…

Well, the LinkedIn bio of one @primer_ai employee suggests otherwise.

.@AlexBores is expected to win the endorsement from a key group of the @NYWFP tonight. @CuffhAction will endorse Bores in his race to represent NY-12.
The @NYWFP has not made an endorsement in the race yet, but @JCColtin reported the party is set on *not* backing @JBKSchlossberg

"Presented by Turkish Airlines"
The World Cup teams are warming up, and so are our affordability initiatives.
We worked with @NYGov @NJGov @FWC26NYNJ & @Roadto26usa to secure a $25 price tag on 2,500 tickets for this weekend’s pre-World Cup ‘friendly’ matches at roadto26.com/nynj — and Sunday’s batch is already sold out!
The joy of the World Cup belongs to every New Yorker, and we want families to know they can cross the river to watch world-class soccer before this historic tournament kicks off in our backyard.
