The gesture came during a Day of Remembrance signing just days before the 25th anniversary of the attacks, and drew swift condemnation from 9/11 families and NYPD veterans.
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed executive orders declaring September 11 a citywide Day of Remembrance on Friday — then handed the ceremonial pen to Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch and asked her to pass it to his chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem, a lawyer who once represented an al-Qaeda operative whose sister was married to Pentagon hijacker Khalid al-Mihdhar. Dennis Warchola, whose firefighter brother died in the North Tower, didn’t hold back: “How can you defend a guy like that who wants to do Americans or any innocent person harm?” A retired NYPD detective went further, saying the moment reduced Commissioner Tisch to “a prop rather than acknowledging her role as the leader of the NYPD.”

Why It Matters to You: With the 25th anniversary of 9/11 just days away and 9/11 families already petitioning Mamdani to skip the Ground Zero ceremony entirely, this small gesture is fueling a much bigger argument over who gets to represent New York City at its most sacred civic moment. Whether you see it as an innocent staffing mix-up or a genuine window into the mayor’s priorities, it’s shaping how millions of Americans will watch him at Ground Zero next week. Read more →
The governor made the admission during a swing through deep-red South Carolina as he tests the waters for a 2028 presidential run.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom told a Democratic crowd in Lexington, South Carolina, that he needed a green light from a very specific person before pursuing Proposition 50, the redistricting measure that flipped five Republican-held congressional districts to Democrats: “The only way I could feel that I had real permission was I called you-know-who… Barack Obama.” He added that he couldn’t share exactly what the former president told him, but “let’s just say, green light.” The admission came in the middle of a four-day Deep South tour where Newsom also warned that Trump was “trying to rig the election before one vote is cast.”
Why It Matters to You: Newsom’s own words confirm what Republicans have argued for months: California’s redistricting push wasn’t just about California, it was a coordinated national strategy blessed at the highest levels of the Democratic Party. As Newsom tours red states testing a 2028 run, voters everywhere are getting a preview of how far Democratic leaders are willing to go to reshape the House map before a single ballot is cast.

The Pentagon chief’s warning came hours after US forces struck three Iranian tankers near the Kharg Island oil hub in retaliation for an IRGC missile attack on two Navy ships.
U.S. forces struck three Iranian oil tankers near the Kharg Island export hub on Saturday, retaliating after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fired ballistic missiles at two American Navy ships. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the administration’s position unmistakable on X: "If Iran shoots at US ships, we will destroy (and sink) their oil tankers. All they have to do is not shoot." CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper confirmed no U.S. personnel were harmed and delivered his own warning: "If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost — taking out three of yours." Iran’s IRGC disputed the account, claiming the tankers were merely disabled by sea mines.
Why It Matters to You: This is the most direct US-Iran military exchange in months, and it’s landing squarely in the pocketbook: Brent crude closed Friday at $96.28 a barrel, and U.S. diesel prices have already hit all-time highs. With 18 American service members killed in this conflict since February and the midterms six weeks out, how this administration handles the next escalation could shape gas prices, grocery costs, and the shipping lanes the whole economy depends on.

The clash erupted after the Nassau County executive mocked a photo of the governor covering her head at a Manhattan mosque, just weeks before the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is trading fire with Republican gubernatorial rival Bruce Blakeman after the Nassau County executive mocked a photo of her covering her head during a visit to a Manhattan Islamic center, captioning it "Hijab Hochul. Kathy’s Latest Costume: Whatever the Audience Wants." Hochul fired back that the attack was "reprehensible," explaining, "I was invited as a guest, and I always wear the appropriate attire, whether I am going to a temple, whether I am going to an Orthodox community or whether I am going to a Catholic church in the Vatican." The dust-up landed just under two weeks before the 25th anniversary of September 11.
Why It Matters to You: With 25 years since September 11 approaching, how public officials talk about religion and patriotism is back in the spotlight — and this fight shows just how raw that nerve still is in a marquee governor’s race. Whether you see Hochul’s gesture as respectful diplomacy or political theater, it’s shaping the tone of the contest that will decide who runs the nation’s fourth-largest state. Read more →
A single dissenting juror has stalled a verdict for a week, prompting a last-minute emergency appeal after the judge nearly declared a mistrial.
After seven days and more than 36 hours of deliberation, the jury in Lindsay Clancy’s triple murder trial remains deadlocked over a single holdout juror defense attorney Kevin Reddington says is refusing to follow the law. Judge William Sullivan twice denied requests to remove that juror, telling the panel they must “follow the law whether they like it or not.” On Friday, Sullivan was prepared to declare a mistrial before Reddington won a last-minute hour to file an emergency appeal with the state’s Supreme Judicial Court.
Why It Matters to You: Clancy, who admitted drowning her three young children in 2023 while citing severe postpartum psychosis, faces life without parole if convicted or commitment to a state mental hospital if found not criminally responsible — and the outcome now hinges on a single juror and an emergency ruling from Massachusetts’ highest court.
