@cnbc.com is cable, so no FCC issues. But I’m sure it’s a violation of company standards. @jimcramerpeeps.bsky.social apologized profusely.

@jimcramerpeeps.bsky.social just dropped an F-bomb on live TV, sounding out “WTF!” in response to people downplaying the current surge in the markets.

Adams Is Running on Crime Again. Will That Work Against Mamdani? If voters aren’t panicking over public safety, the appeals of Adams, Cuomo, and Sliwa could fall flat.

NYC crime stats, while trending in the right direction, are not quite as rosy as the mayor would have us believe. My latest in @nymag.com

Bodycam video from Trump rally shows moment when officer first sees gunman on roof One of the videos released from the Trump rally shows the moment when a Butler Township Police officer is hoisted onto the roof where the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, had taken position. ​

There’s literally body cam footage of the cop in Butler spotting the would be assassin & then RUNNING AWAY. He reportedly warned other cops but not the Secret Service—a group trained to actually put their bodies on the line. Crooks shot 39 seconds later, which is an eternity in that context.

FEMA has money for detention centers, but not *checks notes* emergency management.

Opinion | I've Spent My Life Fighting for Kids' Health, and I Won't Stop Now We must speak out against devastating Medicaid cuts

I’ve spent 20 years caring for kids. Slashing nearly $1T from Medicaid isn’t a line item, it’s a direct attack on children’s health. As physicians, we have a responsibility to protect the most vulnerable.

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures.

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

Ghislaine Maxwell received limited immunity during meetings with deputy attorney general: Sources A second meeting between Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche took place on Friday for about three hours.

Nothing says I did nothing wrong like a man with pardon power sending his personal lawyer to offer limited immunity to a convicted sex trafficker with a reputation for lying to see if she can clear things up

When ICE Agents Are Waiting Outside the Courtroom An asylum seeker and her children face the terrifying new reality of immigration hearings.

Since the spring, federal agents have been patrolling the government buildings in New York City, waiting to arrest migrants as soon as they step out of the courtroom. Jordan Salama reports on an asylum seeker’s experience.

So glad somebody said it!

Adams Is Running on Crime Again. Will That Work Against Mamdani? If voters aren’t panicking over public safety, the appeals of Adams, Cuomo, and Sliwa could fall flat.

With less than 90 days until the start of early voting, Adams is staking his reelection bid on falling crime numbers. But public safety won’t necessarily be a winning issue this year. My latest in @nymag.com

Crime and the NYC Mayoral Race If voters aren’t panicking over public safety, the appeals of Adams, Cuomo, and Sliwa could fall flat.

Good piece by @errollouis.bsky.social and reminder that if there is a Mayor Mamdani, he really has to get public safety right.
