Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.

The US government has been executing Latin American civilians on boats in peacetime—without charges or trial—by dropping explosives on them.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
Well, at least the BBC is covering this.
GOLDMAN DESK:
“.. inflation data will be in the driver's seat over the coming months. .. a move towards 3.5% in core PCE (from 3% current) could bring about a serious discussion of hikes.
