News 12 reportedly carried out sweeping layoffs that gutted newsrooms across New York, according to reports. This move eliminated dozens of jobs, as the company made sweeping changes to its hyperlocal coverage that has made the network a fixture in New York for more than three decades.

This marks the third major round of cuts at News 12 under Altice’s ownership. The company laid off roughly 70 people in 2017 and cut another 30 to 40 positions in late 2023.

An Altice spokesperson said, “Local journalism is changing, and News 12 is evolving with it.”

Non -Citizens..

 

More than 6,000 non-citizens were accidentally added to New Jersey’s voter rolls due to a software error at the state Motor Vehicles Commission, Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced Tuesday,  

The stunning announcement comes amid a push by Republican President Donald Trump’s administration to crack down on non-citizen voting, which the president claims aids Democrats in elections. Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security alleged that New Jersey had more than 35,000 non-citizens on its voting rolls.

Sherrill, a Democrat, said on Tuesday that the MVC error — which lasted from June 2023 until June 2024,   Around 6,600 individuals marked themselves as non-citizens when they applied but were added to voter rolls anyway.  

Speaking with reporters at a hastily scheduled press conference, Sherrill said there’s no immediate proof that any of the roughly 400 non-citizens who cast ballots impacted the outcome of any individual election.

Work Hard..

People tend to admire success from a safe distance, seeing the trophy without ever seeing the years that produced it. 

David Beckham summed up his own version of that gap plainly. "I have always believed that if you want to achieve anything special in life you have to work, work, and then work some more," he said. 

The repetition is not accidental. He is describing something continuous, not a single burst of effort that happens once and then stops. 

Coming from a player often remembered for his technique on free kicks and crosses, the line carries the weight of someone who actually built that skill through repetition, rather than someone simply repeating a motivational slogan he never had to test himself.

 

Beckham is not describing hard work as an occasional event. He is describing it as the actual, unglamorous rhythm behind lasting achievement.

Natural ability offers a real head start, but plenty of gifted people never fully develop it, while plenty of less naturally talented people outwork their way past them over time. 

Front..

 

A former Biden administration aide said Tuesday he doesn’t believe former Vice President Kamala Harris has much of a chance at winning the White House in 2028 if she runs again.

During an interview on Fox News’s “America Reports,” Michael LaRosa, former first lady Jill Biden’s press secretary, told host Gillian Turner that voters “are not going to give Kamala Harris a third at-bat.

The conversation started because of a New York Magazine article, which identified Harris as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028. 

Minyon Moore, a Democratic strategist, said to the outlet, “She’s been listening to the American people and really trying to figure out what’s impacting them and how she can be of service to them.”

LaRosa pushed back on this directly, arguing that Harris has decades of political experience and needs to instead, “start leading.” He added that voters want a new presidential candidate.

Move..

 

Movement is life.

Movement truly is life, as physical activity is one of the most powerful tools we have to maintain mobility, keep joints healthy, and dramatically lower mortality risks. 

 Regular motion lowers resting heart rate, reduces blood pressure, and boosts your overall heart capacity.

 Keeping moving lubricates joints, fights stiffness, and strengthens the muscles that support your back.

Donate..

SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell and her husband, Robert Shotwell, pledged shares of SpaceX stock to the Invest America (Trump Accounts) program. Valued at approximately \(\$325\) million, the donation grants one share to over 2 million children ages 11 to 17 from lower-income families. 

The initiative places a special focus on communities in central Texas near the couple's home. President Donald Trump publicly thanked the couple on Truth Social, praising their "extreme generosity" and commitment to helping children achieve the American Dream. 

These accounts are privately owned by children, remain locked until they reach adulthood, and can eventually be used for college, purchasing a home, starting a business, or continued investment. Shotwell’s donation of actual equity is one of the most prominent contributions to the program, which also received a massive $6.25 billion pledge from Michael and Susan Dell.

Platner..

 

Progressive..

 

 

Graham Platner rocketed to political prominence with a raw, working-class appeal that targeted economic inequality and the political establishment. He openly discussed his past struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from his military service in Iraq and Afghanistan.  

His anti-Washington platform and charisma were strong enough that he easily secured the Democratic nomination in June 2026, causing moderate establishment Democrats to step aside. 

He earned high-profile endorsements from progressive leaders, including Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.  

 He acknowledged having a skull-and-crossbones chest tattoo resembling a Nazi Totenkopf, which he said he got while intoxicated in Croatia in 2007. He later covered it up, stating he was unaware of its extremist history. 
 

Old, deleted Reddit posts resurfaced that showed him making insensitive comments about sexual assault survivors, LGBTQ+ people, and rural Americans.  
 

The Wall Street Journal reported that he had sent sexually explicit text messages to multiple women while married, which he and his campaign initially dismissed as "gossip".
