"We will see," Bessent said on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures. "We need legislation for that."

New Yorkers sent a resounding message on Election Day: they want a city that fights back against President Trump and protects all New Yorkers, including our immigrant neighbors. Since Trump took office in January, New Yorkers have seen Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ramp up its operations , disappearing our loved ones and engaging in brutal deportation tactics at federal immigration court , at workplaces and in homes.

Linda Sun stands accused of being a Chinese agent. She previously served as a high-ranking official at the Chinese Consulate in New York and as an aide to two New York governors, Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo. Sun and her husband, Chris Hu, are charged with money laundering and fraud. Their trial, which will take place in Brooklyn, New York, centers on their alleged years-long work as agents for China.

Republican New York Rep. Elise Stefanik said Sunday on Fox News the Democratic governor she recently launched a bid to unseat will be the key ally responsible for socialist Democratic New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's far-left agenda coming to fruition. After months of hinting at a run, Stefanik officially launched her campaign Nov. 7 to unseat Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, making her announcement three days after Mamdani won his election to lead the country's largest city.

Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, returned from South Carolina last week brandishing a small piece of metal, proclaiming that it was the first rare-earth magnet made in the US in a quarter of a century. It was, he indicated to Fox Business, proof that the US is ending China's chokehold on our supply chain. Thanks to the South Carolina company eVAC's new rare-earth mineral processing center, Bessent added: We're finally becoming independent again.

I don't give a f*ck about any of our political figures right now, and it's like to fight in front of them seems like some f*cking Hunger Games' type of f*cking sh*t. I don't give a f*ck to fight in front of some f*cking billionaires and rich people that could give a sh*t about me. I don't give a f*ck about impressing any politicians, I don't care about the presidents, none of them.

After FBI contacted her in 2021 about a tip indicating she may have been at the Capitol on Jan. 6, she posted a video on social media citing her Second Amendment right to carry a gun and she threatened to shoot agents if they came to her house. In court papers, prosecutors said her words "were part of the ubiquity of violent political rhetoric that causes serious harm to our communities."

Days before President Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term, he acknowledged the high prices Americans were seeing at the gas pump and grocery store, pledging to bring them down. "It's always hard to bring down prices when somebody else has screwed something up like [President Joe Biden] did," Trump said in a news conference in early January. "We're going to have prices down. I think you're going to see some pretty drastic price reductions."

We didn't have actuaries in the offices. We didn't have insurance experts. All those folks are back working full speed, and we are giving the president lots of options. We have reinsurance as an option, which is traditionally used to make insurance more affordable. We have tactics that would allow Americans to play a different role than they historically have played in this marketplace.

The U.S. military attacked another suspected drug boat and killed three male narco-terrorists based on orders from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, U.S. Southern Command announced on Sunday. It was, according to CBS News, the 21st military strike against alleged narcotics-carrying vessels in the past few weeks strikes that many Democrats have criticized President Donald Trump and Hegseth for. The attack was on Saturday, according to an X post from SOUTHCOM on Sunday afternoon.

Mamdani's campaign seemed (and continues to seem) something out of a Parks and Recreations episode. When Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) decided to run for City council in season 4, she does so with her friends running every aspect of her campaign (after being let go by "official" campaign managers), this gives her campaign an approachable, friendly and personal aspect that eventually led to her victory.

"We will see. We need legislation for that," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday in an interview on Fox News when asked if Trump was going to send the tariff revenue-sharing checks soon. He said the checks would go to "working families" and that an income limit would be set. He didn't describe them as a sure thing, but said: "Those could go out."

Jeremy Renner is denying director Yi Zhou's claims that they reached a resolution after she made multiple allegations against him. Earlier this month, Zhou, 37, who collaborated on a documentary earlier this year with Renner, 54, accused the actor of sending her a string of unsolicited pornographic images of himself in June. She alleged that when she confronted Renner about this, he threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement on her. Renner later denied those allegations,

On Friday, Trump said he will scrap tariffs on beef, coffee, tropical fruits and a range of other commodities, even after insisting that his duties haven't raised prices. Given that imported food makes up just 10% of what U.S. households consume, the tariff rollback's impact on inflation is a "practically a rounding error," wrote Bernard Yaros, lead U.S. economist at Oxford Economics, in a note on Friday. But they will have outsized effects beyond the economic data.

It wasn't a neat or simple story. Some chapters were joyful. Kids walking through newly striped crosswalks on the way to school. Neighbors stretching together at Yoga in the Park. Volunteers turning Saratoga Nights into a real thing instead of just an idea in someone's notebook. The first episodes of the Saratoga History Podcast, with longtime residents sharing what this place meant to them long before Zillow and smartphones.
