- On the drive to the hospital where he breathed his last, Wayne Barrett was still doing interviews for a big, tough story on Donald Trump.
- Just some of the stories broken by the @NYDailyNews in past few weeks: --A mini race-riot among FDNY members in the Bronx; --NYPD failure to discipline officers despite blatant evidence; --NYPD move to charge Pantaleo in Garner death; --Non-stop exclusives re NYCHA scandal.
- DA Cy Vance Jr. : "Effective August 1st, my office will decline to prosecute marijuana possession and smoking cases."

- Best Journalism Award Ever: More than 20 years ago, @chbagli wrote a story that saved a hotel worker's job. Last nite at a party honoring the now-ex Times reporter's great career, we saw a photo of the grateful worker's college grad son. He's named Charlie.
- A new set of bullies from Chicago are laying siege to @NYDailyNews. Here’s the button we made and wore proudly in 1992 after the publisher drowned and the News went into bankruptcy. It’s still true.

- Few loved New York City more, or served her better, than Jim Dwyer, reporter and citizen extraordinary. We've been blessed to have him among us and we are bereft to be without him.
- He's a $262,000 a year public servant who doesn't keep a schedule, officials at his agency admit. So what exactly does Mayor Adams' friend and point man Tim Pearson do? Good luck finding out.
