Sounds like someone who is not ruling out the possibility of running for mayor.

Thank you for the outpouring of kind and humbling support so many of you have shared on this dark, rainy day. I walk thru it feeling the weight of history. The history I believe so sincerely NYC can make clashing with the current history unfolding. 1/14

We have been shrouded in darkness before - September 11th, Sandy, COVID. In hard times we see our strengths & our challenges. We have seen the strength of unity & sometimes the ugliness of fear-driven hate. There are some clouds now & we have choices. 2/14
3/14
We are a powerful when we come together and we are fiercely proud of our city even when we have reasons to complain. I have been proud of our strengths and our grit and our determination. We need it all now - for unity & to refuse hateful divisions. 3/14
4/14
And we also need some humility. I am and have always been so proud, to be counted as a New Yorker. This city is beautiful, vibrant, creative & worthy of its position as a global Capitol and Mecca for millions who see promise here. It deserves only the best leadership. 4/14

I have used the opportunities I have been given to do what my parents taught me and what I have had the privilege to reflect upon by writing about their lessons. They taught me to fight for what’s right with whatever gifts I have been given & to be grateful! 5/14
6/14
I am so grateful for it all. The privilege of having served in City Hall and to have had the opportunity to ask you to trust me with the awesome responsibility of making the city more fair, affordable and livable. And I always knew that the work is what matters the most. 6/14
7/14
There are so many ways to do the work and they all matter. I am so humbled to be able to do the work of rights and justice. I will never stop. And while there is no higher privilege than public service, I learned from my parents that true power is empowering others. 7/14
8/14
Being a place of power has always meant some will seek to corrupt it. Some will seek it for corrupt purposes. The city public match program enabled me, a Black woman who never held office before, to seek the privilege of public service. We need to strengthen it! 8/14
9/14
We need to fight dark money in politics and strengthen our laws to make it harder for the corrupting forces of money in politics. I’m all in on fighting for the Freedom to Vote Act & also the John R Lewis Freedom to Vote Act, and other democracy protections nationally. 9/14
10/14
I will be standing beside all New Yorkers as we work out what our future looks like and who are future leaders will be. As I contemplate the legacy my parents left me, the lesson that we have many roles to play & we must do what we can with what we have, I will play mine. 10/14
11/14
I will play mine supporting all of YOU to see the power YOU have - WE have - to forge this future, from the White House to the House of Representatives and the people’s house in Manhattan. I know that everything each of us does now matters. 11/14
12/14
The wheels of justice will turn without out us. But change requires us! We have to see House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a son of Brooklyn and a blessing, to be our next Majority Leader of the US House of Representatives because that is a future making history! 12/14
13/14
Electing VP Kamala Harris as the 47th POTUS requires us because our city will get the leadership we all need for a forward looking future. The ceilings of race and gender I deliberately challenged we will break in Congress & The White House. 13/14
14/14
And in this big, beautiful, city, we won’t be dragged into the muck of speculation, mire of deflection or deceit of division that tries to distract us from forging our future. I am beside YOU, hand in yours, chanting, cheering & cherishing the journey because it’s with you. 14/14

Bloody turn in NYC's fare evasion crackdown raises question: Is it worth it?
More police officers, soldiers and enforcement agents have surged into the subway, but fare evasion has only increased.

Public defender here. Innocent until proven guilty & lover of due process - the question here isn’t whether he’s guilty of a crime & should be prosecuted. The question is whether in this moment he’s capable of governing. Admin is in shambles & he cannot. So, yes he should resign.

Mayor Adams loves using socialists as a political foil, and Ocasio-Cortez calling for his resignation has teed him up.

Tiffany Cabán was the first New York City councilmember to call on Mayor Eric Adams to resign as he faces several federal investigations.
"New Yorkers deserve better,” says @tiffany_caban. “We need somebody who can take this job seriously … and he can no longer do that."

you can tell he's shook because a real Knicks fan who wasn't worried about being indicted would talk about our lack of a reliable back up for Mitchell Robinson

Calls are mounting for Mayor Adams to resign after he was indicted on federal corruption charges. In that event, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams is next in the line of succession to take over as mayor. On "Inside City Hall," Williams said he is prepping for "every eventuality."

“This indictment is the latest in a disturbing pattern of events that has, understandably, contributed to a sense of unease among many New Yorkers.”
“It's now up to Mayor Adams to show the City that he is able to lead in that manner.”

If you missed tonight's "Inside City Hall" special on Mayor Adams' federal indictment, you can catch @errollouis again at 11 p.m.
In the meantime, here's a look back at some of what the mayor has had to say in defense of his administration since the investigations became public:

So either this is a threat for him to step down or she is saying she will do nothing.
ask my opinion she wants to see if the wheels fall off (more resignations) and how loud the calls for him to step down gets. Jumanne ran against her, and Adams to his own detriment has never called her out on her bullshyt. So she doesn’t want to make him step down, it would be a lot easier for her to let him ride out his term and it gives her a chance to support a candidate she might like later.

If you’re wondering if this “your policies are anti black” sentiment started with the indictment, it did not.
It’s been consistent.
Remember when Rochester City Councilmember rolled up on Adams 2 yrs ago: “what about the homeless man the nypd ran over—you said nothing?”
[Quoted tweet]
Holy shyt. "Your policies are anti-Black!! You are a disgrace to all Black people in this city!" Eric Adams press conference being righteously disrupted right now.

@leahfrombklyn
Anyone who was critical of Adams, esp Black people, was often villainized as being against the rise of Black establishment power.
You can even hear in this video people telling Councilmember Martin “ain’t no brothers over here (to protect Adams). Give the brotha a chance!”
