"When we say week to week, it's because it's longer than day to day," Darche explained. "But it's not month to month, either. I would suspect two to three weeks at the most. There's no surgery needed. There's no anything. It's just healing an old injury."

The Oval Office gaggle wasn't supposed to change anything. It was supposed to be content President Donald Trump and his newly elected progressive foil, each performing the roles cable news has spent months codifying. Conservative media had already settled on its narrative. The White House press corps arrived expecting friction, spectacle, maybe even fireworks. What they got instead was a different story not about conflict, but about alignment.

Scores of protestors converged upon the synagogue, where Nefesh B'Nefesh, an organization that assists Jewish immigration to Israel, held a scheduled event. Many protestors wearing face masks held Palestinian flags and chanted messages such as Globalize the Intifiada and Death to the IDF, per numerous online videos. The incident prompted an NYPD response, with online videos showing officers actively separating the demonstrators from a smaller group of counter-protesters.

I want to thank [the PAC] for their partnership in raising up the issue of how we regulate an incredibly powerful technology so that the future is one that benefits all of us,

Tisch immediately brought a steady, competent hand to One Police Plaza. She shook up the brass and removed chiefs and other high-ranking officials tied to scandal and corruption. She worked with Mayor Adams to tackle the staffing crisis head-on, reforming the recruitment process to help address the biggest exodus of NYPD officers in more than 30 years. Most importantly, Tisch helped lead the NYPD to historic drops this year in murders, shootings and other violent crimes.

I accept full responsibility for my actions.

Lou Lamoriello may be retired from running hockey teams, but he is far from gone from the New York Islanders. In fact, the legendary executive remains part of the franchise's fabric, quietly working behind the scenes as an advisor to majority owner Scott Malkin. And if you were expecting bitterness or second-guessing after he was let go as GM in April, you won't find a trace of it.

The amended bill is such a no-brainer that it should even pass a brainless legislature; all it requires is for repeatedly and excessively reckless drivers to have their cars rendered unable to be driven recklessly. It doesn't take away the car; it doesn't suspend a license; it doesn't raise insurance fees. It just makes the car itself less able to a death machine.

If the New York Islanders' season ends up being defined by one thing, it might not be a power play, a defensive lapse, or even a trade deadline move. It could come down to the shootout. That is not an exaggeration; it is a trend that is shaping the Isles' season in real time. The numbers tell the story. The Isles have lost five straight shootouts, nine of their last eleven, and 22 of their last 28 overall.

It just wasn't the New York Islanders' night. Playing their final home game before a seven game road trip, the Isles fell 5-2 to the Minnesota Wild on Friday at UBS Arena, closing their homestand at 1-1-1. Emil Heineman and JG Pageau found the back of the net, but sloppy play, turnovers, and missed chances plagued the Isles from start to finish. Minnesota, on the second night of a back to back, looked fresher, faster, and sharper in every zone.

"I think we're doing a lot of good things," Mayfield said after Thursday's practice. "It starts with our goaltending and just making those little plays, coming out of the zone as a group of five. On the forecheck, we're getting in there and trying to create chances."

If Mathew Barzal and Bo Horvat are the engines of the New York Islanders' offense, Emil Heineman might be the spark that keeps them running at full throttle. Since joining their line, the 22-year-old Swedish winger has added exactly what head coach Patrick Roy felt the duo needed: speed, grit, and an instinct for doing the dirty work that lets Barzal and Horvat shine.

We said it all day: The livable streets movement elected Zohran Mamdani. Sure, armies of Socialist volunteerchiks, immigrant aunties, renters, Bronxites and so many others filled his winning coalition (as this nice Times video shows), but don't neglect the role played by bus riders, bike riders and YIMBYs in getting the Queens Assembly member over the finish line in first.
