Congress Member-elect Dan Goldman on Tuesday called for his incoming colleague, Republican George Santos, to be investigated for campaign finance fraud following Santos confirming reports that he fabricated several key parts of his résumé  whilst running for office.Santos had won a general election over Democrat Robert Zimmerman to represent a northeastern Queens and Nassau County seat currently represented by outgoing Congress Member Tom Suozzi in November.

Shouts and expletives rang out at a station in Jamaica, Queens, on Thursday morning as commuters raced to catch connecting trains during the first week of a Long Island Rail Road schedule that has benefited some passengers but upended rush hour for those traveling to Brooklyn.The service changes offer some commuters who used to have to travel to Pennsylvania Station, on the West Side of Manhattan, a shortcut to a new station on the East Side, shaving travel times by as much as 40 minutes, according to transit officials.
