Eric Adams’s Fund-Raising in Last Two Months Plummets to $19,000

Mr. Adams said at a news conference on Monday that he was not worried.
“Everyone is catching up to me,” he said. “I started raising early.”
The mayor actually received $36,000 in contributions, but he ended up netting only $19,000 after adjustments and $21,000 in refunds, including $3,700 to Brock Pierce, a cryptocurrency investor who was recently photographed with Mr. Adams at President Trump’s inauguration. Mr. Pierce had already donated the legal limit of $2,100 to Mr. Adams in 2023.
The mayor had only 38 donors during this filing period. .
A separate super PAC supporting Mr. Cuomo called “Fix the City” raised nearly $1.5 million from 17 donors, including $250,000 from Scott Rechler, a major real estate developer, and $100,000 from SkyBridge Capital, the hedge fund founded by Anthony Scaramucci, who donated to Mr. Adams in 2021 and 2024.
Mr. Cuomo and Mr. Adams have some overlap in terms of their voting and donor bases. Marcella Guarino Hymowitz, whose husband, Gregg S. Hymowitz, is a prominent hedge fund manager, gave $150,000 to Mr. Cuomo’s super PAC this month. In 2021, Mr. Hymowitz gave $100,000 to a super PAC that supported Mr. Adams; Ms. Hymowitz also gave $50,000 to the group.
Luciana Fato, a former top lawyer at the insurance company American International Group, donated $100,000 to Mr. Cuomo’s super PAC after donating to Mr. Adams’s campaign in 2021. Jed Walentas, who runs the development firm Two Trees Management, has donated to Mr. Cuomo and Mr. Adams and to a nonprofit group that promoted Mr. Adams.

The Met’s 20 Scariest Artworks: Can You Find Them?

For this Halloween scavenger hunt, we scoured this encyclopedic museum for the most haunting works, bloody details and hidden meanings.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has long been heralded as a temple of beauty; a labyrinth of marble gods, shimmering Impressionist landscapes and silken kimonos that promises an orderly march of human history. But in October, as the shadows begin pooling against the walls and the hushed footsteps of visitors echo through the halls, another museum reveals itself: a theater of phantoms.
Here are 20 of the scariest artworks — ancient, medieval, modern — that tell a story of saints and sinners, monsters and myths. Follow their trail and the Met Museum starts to feel like a haunted house, where art keeps vigil over humanity’s deepest anxieties. Tap the screaming icon to create a list of your five favorites at the bottom of this page.
In the words of the poet Edgar Allan Poe, “The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague.” On this scavenger hunt through the museum, those shadows linger longest in the galleries.
