A lesson I've learned over 15+ years of following this issue is that you NEVER believe the first report from the police. It is almost always a lie that's easily contradicted by video evidence or eyewitness testimony. This applies even moreso when an officer is directly involved in the crash.

In police and court documents, the officer who drove the car claimed that he had been heading straight west on E. Second St. in the East Village, and had tried to avoid Davis, who he said slammed into the NYPD vehicle. The surveillance video that captured the crash contradicts that claim.

My Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X review.

The top phrases running through my mind while testing it:

"Someone's getting fired for greenlighting this launch"

"This is not an Xbox"

"If this is the future of Xbox, Xbox is screwed."

Went with the middle.

Trump announced today, seemingly at random, that he is cancelling fed funding for Gateway Tunnel, a tunnel for intercity & commuter trains under the Hudson River.

The motivation for the cancellation—which is likely to be contested—appears to be purely the president’s hatred of Sen Schumer.
"If this system of transportation collapses, the Northeastern economy and the economy of the country collapses." The most important economic development project in the entire nation threatened with cancellation: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/n...

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:
ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.
Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

RFK Jr. greenlighted Vought further gutting the CDC, which no longer has any scientists or public health specialists in leadership.
RIFs were so chaotic (firing disease detectives during an Ebola breakout) than many were reversed.

Shutdown shitshow. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-shutdo...
Lets break this down a bit. Because of the way RIFs work, entire units were cut. Once the administration found that people they knew and liked, including people who had decades of experience in managing what to do when shit hits the fan, were being fired, they restored the entire unit. This speaks to the arbitrary nature of the RIFs. Someone who does not know the core tasks of the agency, or the science behind what they do, decided “hey, we don’t really need this.” Then they realize that they do. This is echoes the firing of nuclear weapon security staff that happened a few months ago. These are careless people, but sometimes they cuts are so obviously dangerous that they have to walk things back.

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

The DSCC is raising money in conjunction with Mills. Who cares if they don't "officially endorse"?
New: DSCC Chair Gillibrand with warm words for Mills

“I think we have a formidable candidate in Janet Mills, she’s the sitting governor. I'm very excited about her candidacy. I look forward to supporting her race”

DSCC has no plans to officially endorse in the primary
