The family of Win Rozario, the 19-year-old shot and killed by police in his Queens home last year, filed a lawsuit against the city and the NYPD for wrongful death on Monday.

Despite ranked choice voting tabulations still unfinished, former Governor Andrew Cuomo conceded the race for mayor to Queens Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani, who began the race as a relatively unknown Queens legislator, skyrocketed in the polls in recent weeks and held on to a lead on election night as numbers started to come in. However, since ranked choice votes will continue to be counted, several local City Council races in Queens are without a clear winner.

Petition to call campaign ads “trailers” from now on

I want to thank the 10-or-so-year-old kid named Ahmed whose door I knocked on in Elmhurst tonight, who helped me convince his mom to vote for @ZohranKMamdani. When he heard who I was there for, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, “Oh yeah, I've watched his trailer!”

RT @LindseyBoylan: Funny you should mention @RepGregoryMeeks. @jessicaramosqns had thoughts on him a few weeks ago! https://t.co/dFKvtjqiEG

Nah it’s cool, he’s got it.

@TrippyYang Therapy is working 😩I will not give @CBarca_ extra work this weekend.
