"The city’s charter lays out a court-like process by which the governor must first serve the mayor with a copy of charges she feels warrant his removal, then provide him with “an opportunity to be heard in his defense.”"
Does this compute?

You want Mayor Andrew Cuomo? This is how you get Mayor Andrew Cuomo. Be patient and let Governor Hochul remove Adams at the end of next month so it doesn't trigger a special election. She knows what she is doing.
Just fucking do it Gov. Clutching pearls over precedent is bullshit. You have the authority to end this insane travesty, the city’s voters clearly didn’t vote for this banana republic crap. Be the precedent. It’s time.
Someone needs to make it very clear to the governor, there is only 1 path forward. Even though the WH fascists will push back, you have to always ask yourselves" How would your founding fathers dealt with this?
She's been waiting for the federal case to be completed. I can't imagine that she and her team aren't already fully prepared to indict Adams on state charges.
If she goes “Susan Collins” on this 💩 and says anything close to “he learned his lesson” when faithful federal employees are losing their jobs for no damn good reason left & right and ppl are resigning bc this man is a five alarm 🔥, I will lose it.🤬
Finally! Hochul wouldn't bother giving us a heads up if she hadn't already made the decision. Imagine if she came out of this meeting and said she'd decided she was cool with Adams staying in office while acting as a Trump asset?
Adams out of office makes him useless.
Continuing prosecution is the only 'smart' choice. Trump's busy looking for anything Adams has to trade for a pardon.
That doesn't work if they drop charges.
i.e. Adams could be the poster boy of Democrat's "persecuted lawfare victim" to attract Black voters.🤷♂️
1. Prosecute Adams' Uncle Tom ass.
2. Require the General Assembly to pass legislation restricting the NYPD and Rikers from cooperating with Nazi ICE.
3. Remove Adams as Mayor and reorganize NY City Government.
I floated this idea one other time. I think we ALL need to mail postcards to OUR Representatives. Emails are too easy to delete, postcards take up space, time, and they might even be looked at. Overwhelm them! If half the country voted for this fool, the other half should bombard them with cards.
Adams is compromised. The DOJ by dismissing the charges without prejudice, and leaving potential future charges hanging over his head, has created a real conflict of interest. They are not even hiding how they are seeking to leverage that threat. Hochul needs to remove him immediately.
Adam's needs to go now. I read his last statement. He is on a mission from God. Eric and the Blues Brothers. Are you going to put the band back together, Eric? Time to leave.
Well, I do not have that concern as long as its done for Due Cause and that the citizens of that city have asked for it. And especially when one has literally been indicted and is serving as the mayor while …out on bond🤦🏼♂️
He should have been fired the minute those last three words became fact!
When the obvious is, well…obvious, the governor needs time to gather advisors and discuss in order to determine the obvious. And they wonder why we make fun of them.
And NYC has two weeks of early voting, and mail-in/absentee voting, and the polls are open from 6 a.m. until 9 p.m., and still, only 20% participation. While other places have to worry about disenfranchisement and voter suppression, we have to worry about apathy and duty.
Waiting won’t help Hochul hold off Cuomo. New Yorkers feel he was done wrong by Democrats and the polls reflect that—recent polling shows he’s leading the Democratic primary field. New Yorkers want Adams gone. He’s corrupt and needs to be removed now—you don’t keep someone like him in power
Hochul is indecisive. As Governor, she knew about Adams’ corruption since before his indictment. Do you really think she wasn’t informed about the investigation? All this talk about consulting leadership is nonsense. Just as Cuomo had to go, it’s now Adams’ turn—he’s toxic and needs to be removed
What are you talking about? Waiting *will* hold off Cuomo. If she waits until March 27th, Jumaane Williams, a progressive with some solid credentials, automatically gets the office until the next general election. And if he builds up a solid track record in that time, he may keep it.
NYCs political landscape is shifting. Special elections are unpredictable and progressives face pushback on crime and immigration. Hochul’s narrow win over Zeldin signaled voter dissatisfaction, while Cuomo still retains support among moderates, including Black and Orthodox Jewish communities
Don’t celebrate yet… Her entire hesitation has been about not wanting to open a door for her predecessor Andrew Cuomo from getting elected via a Special Election if she fires Eric Adams before March 27th🤷🏼♂️
Cuomo will likely be elected, whether in a special election or the mayoral race. Although he hasnt declared his candidacy, an Emerson College Poll shows him w 33% support, while Mayor Adams has 10%. Other candidates, like Stringer and State Senators Ramos and Myrie, are in single digits
lol REAL SHORT conversation: "We agreed he should resign? Yep? OK. Thanks for coming."
Adams' corruption is only exceeded by Republicans': remember we're in this mess because because of Republican corruption from McConnell (Barrett, no ban on Trump, no organization against gross cabinet picks)& (R)!
Nip him in the bud Governor nip him hard, right out of his job.
It used to be citizens rebuked criminals office seems 47 broke that like everything else he touches
Her next statement:
He paid me the amount I asked for so we’re keeping him. Oh wait I mean… um after careful review we can’t afford to lose him? Yea that one. No further questions.

NYC is the money machine.
With the corrupt Felon 47 puppet in charge NYS is in serious serious trouble.
It's an easy decision.
Pull Adams before he takes down the greatest state & greatest city in the US.
If she's scared of Elmo/Dump, she needs to step down also. Get it done or get out of the way. Enough of the words get with the actions.
Fight the fight, or there will be nothing left to fight for.

imho, she's waiting to avoid a special election.
You’re Fired💁🏼♂️💥
Full stop.
Eric Adams. You're fired.
Crude. Blunt. I'd like Gov. Hochul to be more diplomatic, but I'll take anything to get Adams out.

It would be unforgivable if she doesn’t remove Mayor Adams!
Dismissed before 3/26, requires 'replacement election' within 90 days. Then, normal Election again in November.
Post 3/26, NYC PUBLIC ADVOCATE is placeholder until new Mayor Elected November.

Do it!
You are removed
"Good morning , Governor."
"Good morning, everyone. He's gotta go."
"Okay then. Good meeting, thanks Governor."
He won't resign so they'll have to find a way to force him out.

“Read the indictment and Trump’s minions’ rationale for dropping it.”
Short enough?
He paid me the amount I asked for so we’re keeping him. Oh wait I mean… um after careful review we can’t afford to lose him? Yea that one. No further questions.
So yeah Adams advocating against that is against her interests.
