Good Monday afternoon in New York City, where it's going to get warmer and wetter.
Here's what else is happening:
- "Your job isn't to pass a huge budget and also major policy bills. Your job is to make sure that trash is picked up and to try to keep crime down and manage the police department, and frankly, to eat a lot of s**t from everyone who's just pissed at you for existing and doing your job. That's not something he's good at": Hell Gate spoke with some former Andrew Cuomo staffers who said they don't think he'd make a good mayor.
- Former Rep. Jamaal Bowman, fresh off a reelection loss, has started a super PAC aimed at getting nonwhite voters who are disillusioned by the Democratic Party establishment to vote for progressive candidates.
- A FedEx plane leaving Newark on Saturday immediately turned around for an emergency landing after a bird flew into the engine, causing it to catch fire.
- "While Texas grapples with its worst measles outbreak in decades, its Republican lieutenant governor has moved for the state’s restaurants and groceries to change the name of the "New York strip" steak cut to the 'Texas strip.'"
- Jeff Goldblum got a fit off at the Oscars.
- The Knicks won last night.
- This is a cool Pee-Wee Herman-looking apartment.
- Talyor and Travis went on a date and nobody even noticed!
