Late last year, New York Assembly member Alex Bores became the target of a campaign by a pro-AI super PAC to thwart his congressional bid. The group, Leading the Future, is armed with more than $100 million from backers including Andreessen Horowitz, OpenAI President Greg Brockman, AI search startup Perplexity, and Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale. Bores' response to was simple: bring it on.

The permit is still in place, and Waymo's plans for New York City are still likely to move ahead, as Hochul's rescinded proposal governed areas outside the Big Apple. The Alphabet subsidiary, which offers paid driverless rides to the public in cities in the San Francisco Bay Area, along with parts of Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin, Atlanta and other cities, was hoping to grow its already sizable foothold in the robotaxi market and tap into a large pool of new users.

That's what the break is for, right? Duclair said on Wednesday. It's kind of reset, recharge, so that's what I did. I reset my mind, mentally, physically, put everything behind me, what happened in the first half, and now I'm just focused on a strong second half and hopefully make it a long run in the playoffs.

Brutus, N.Y. - State Police last week set up a sting after a Central NY resident reported being scammed out of $18,500 and the scammer was coming back for more. Troopers were waiting, and when the New York City man arrived to collect $22,400, he was arrested, the State Police announced in a news release Wednesday. Xueye Luo, 43, was charged with third-degree attempted grand larceny, according to Trooper Lynnea Crane, a spokesperson for State Police.

That situation could open the door for another savvy move by the Islanders. While Skinner is hardly the goal scorer he once was, he could be a low-risk proposition. Skinner would get a chance to go to a playoff team, with eyes on a middle-six role. Meanwhile, the Islander could get a motivated player with a chip on his shoulder. Skinner would be eager to show that he still has what it takes to be successful at the NHL level.

When Zohran Mamdani was a New York state assembly member, he sponsored the Stop Fakes Act, which would have prohibited law enforcement from creating fake electronic communication service accounts and collecting users' account information. Digital dragnet surveillance is widespread and dangerous, yet it continues to go unregulated, Mamdani co-wrote in a 2023 City & State op-ed. Although the NYPD claimed in a Department of Justice report to keep detailed records of its undercover accounts, the department refuses to provide any documentation

I was completely taken back and completely in shock,

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul offered encouraging words to the state's immigrant community during her recent State of the State address. She voiced support for expanding protections and legal options for immigrants in response to the federal government's evolving immigration enforcement efforts. Her support is necessary. However, it is imperative that the governor and the Legislature work on comprehensive legislation and financial resources to protect all New Yorkers.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced on Sunday the establishment of the Coney Island Business Improvement District (BID), aiming to bolster small businesses with a $1 million investment. The investment will include a variety of sanitation and beautification efforts, enhanced marketing materials, additional greenery, and power-washed communal spaces. Mamdani said at Sunday's press conference announcing the BID that for far too long, the city and state have failed to invest in Coney Island in a meaningful way.

In 2019, things were looking up for Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, who had just ascended into the House Democratic leadership following then-Rep. Joe Crowley's defeat. Jeffries has helped keep the Democratic conference united amid many fractious Republican speaker vote sagas, and he could become the nation's first Black House speaker after the midterms.

The ads are funded by a pro-AI political action committee that supports the expansion of artificial intelligence, yet they aim to weaken Bores's candidacy by tying him to his past work in tech. They accuse Bores, who has recently called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), of hypocrisy because he previously worked at Palantir, a data analytics company whose contracts with ICE have made it a frequent target of activists.

Ariola drove several loops on Freedom Drive - the roadway that had long been off-limits to cars only to be reopened for car use late last year - then stared down the activists from the front seat of her climate-controlled Lincoln Corsair, which has been nabbed 38 times by city speed- and red-light cameras since 2017, according to city records.

The revamped NY Islanders prospect pool continues to succeed in their respective 2025-26 campaigns, receiving accolades throughout the season. But this time, it's not one of their high draft picks; instead, a sixth-round defenseman playing in the NCAA. Freshman defenseman Xavier Veilleux of Cornell University was named ECAC Defenseman of the Month for January. The 19-year-old left-hand shot provided three goals and eight assists across 10 contests for the No. 9 Big Red.

Live From the Blue Seats is back as Rob and Producer JL how Chris Drury failed with the Panarin trade, his first trade and test for this retool. No matter how you try to explain it away, the Panarin trade was a failure. His no-move clause, the late news that came conveniently after the trade reaction that Panarin only wanted LA and only told the Rangers that morning.

"Please give the entire 15 to Hewitt," said the message to Epstein from Allen's phone. "As Woody said, that way they will definitely graduate Manzie." At the time, Manzie Allen, the adopted daughter of Allen and Previn, was a 16-year-old enrolled at the Hewitt School, an elite K-12 all-girls school just blocks from Jefrey Epstein's Upper East Side mansion of horrors.

As Anthony Beauvillier made his way off the ice after warmups, he noticed a fan wearing a New York Islanders jersey - yes, in the Flyers' home barn, Xfinity Mobile Arena - with a sign that read "Only Here for Beau #72." Beauvillier was drafted by the Islanders and spent the first seven seasons of his NHL career there. Beauvillier handed her his hockey stick as he made his way down the tunnel.

After winning a Bronze Medal at the WJC, Aitcheson returned to Barrie to be named the OHL Defenseman of the Month for January. Over the course of 11 games, Aitcheson recorded three goals and 11 assists, adding to his league-leading 22 goals among all defensemen. Aitcheson, the 17th overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, finished his draft year with 26 goals in 64 games, now trailing last year's total by just four goals in 24 fewer games.

With this legislation, all of these existing agreements would be void. The legislation would also prohibit federal agents from using local detention centers for civil immigration enforcement, mass raids or the transportation of detainees, and authorizes New Yorkers to bring state-level civil actions against federal officers who violate their U.S. constitutional rights. Hochul has also proposed legislation to ensure sensitive locations, such as homes, schools and doctors' offices, are protected from civil immigration enforcement without a judicial warrant.

"The ultra wealthy and the most profitable corporations are going to fight any revenue raiser," said Brahvan Ranga, campaign manager of Invest in Our New York, a coalition of organizations pushing for progressive tax reforms. "But the political winds are at our back in a way that hasn't been the case in years." Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral election resoundingly by running on reshaping New York to be affordable and manageable for working people. But many of his audacious plans require money-lots of it.

When the New York Islanders drafted Jesse Pulkkinen with the 54th overall pick of the 2024 draft, many were intrigued about what he could become. He is a big body defenseman, with a 6'6" frame and weighing in at 220 pounds. He has used this size to his advantage, delivering big hits and being an aggressive forechecker. He is also very mobile for his size, which he uses to get involved in the offense. He put this on display during his time in Finland.

That's it. The situation has been frustrating as coach Patrick Roy has given Tsyplakov an opportunity to play in various roles. But nothing has seemed to work. Tsyplakov has been a healthy scratch at times and at others, playing minuscule minutes on the fourth line. For instance, the Russian import played just 6:43 on January 19 against the Vancouver Canucks.

It's pretty simple: Back-checking is an important part of our game and our concept. We talked about it on the road, and it's my job to make guys accountable Back-checking doesn't require talent; it requires will, and this is what this team is about.
