30: New York City

The Only Patriotic Choice for President It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest. He’s proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities that he most lacks — wisdom, empathy, courage, restraint, discipline. ........... Those disqualifying characteristics are further compounded by everything else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of the president — his many criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental disinterest in policy, and his bizarre cast of associates. ............ As a dedicated public servant who has demonstrated care, competence, and an unwavering commitment to the Constitution, Ms. Harris stands alone in this race. ............. Over the past 70 days, Ms. Harris has offered a shared future for all citizens beyond hate and division. She has begun to describe a thoughtful set of plans to help American families. ........... Mr. Trump’s economic priorities are more tax cuts, which will benefit mostly the wealthy, and more tariffs, which will make prices even more unmanageable for the middle class. .......... Ms. Harris recognizes the need for global solutions to climate change and would continue Mr. Biden’s major investments in the industries and technologies necessary to achieve that goal. Mr. Trump rejects the accepted science, and his contempt for low-carbon energy solutions is matched only by his trollish loyalty to fossil fuels. ......... As to immigration, a huge and largely unsolved issue, the former president continues to demonize and dehumanize immigrants. Ms. Harris at least offers hope for a compromise, long denied by Congress, to secure the borders and return the nation to a sane immigration system. ........... a capable new generation stands ready to take the reins of power.

The Indictment of Mayor Eric Adams Did the mayor conspire with Turkish officials to funnel illegal foreign donations into his coffers in exchange for pressing the Fire Department to approve a new high-rise consulate in Midtown Manhattan despite safety concerns?



This Black Hole Has a Cosmic Wingspan Astronomers have discovered a black hole emitting energy in jets longer than the width of 140 Milky Way galaxies. ......... about 140 times as long as our own Milky Way galaxy is wide, and more than 10 times the distance from Earth to Andromeda, the nearest large spiral galaxy.
