Kathy Hochul’s lead over Republican candidate Bruce Blakeman is slipping, according to a new Siena University poll released Wednesday, as likely voters in New York also gave a negative 30-47% favorability rating to the Democratic Socialists of America. With under three months to go until Election Day, Hochul leads Blakeman 49-39% among likely New York State gubernatorial voters, down from 52-32% when registered voters were asked the same question in June.

JOHANNESBURG: As the Iran-backed Houthis step up their threat to Red Sea shipping, analysts say the U.S. could consider a major change in strategy. Houthi attacks on ships passing through a vital chokepoint may lead Washington to cement relations with more reliable partners along Africa ’s coastline. Somaliland is a pro-U.S. outpost, having broken away from war-torn Somalia in 1991, and is offering the U.S. the use of one of the longest runways in Africa, an air base and a deep sea port on the R
Winds of more than 80mph, severe flooding and tornadoes swept through Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky Powerful storms swept across the midwest on Tuesday, leaving three dead and more than 800,000 without power in four states as winds gusts of more than 80mph (130km/h) tore down trees and power lines.

The current collective bargaining agreement between Major League Baseball and the Players' Association expires in roughly three and a half months, and there seems to be no resolution in sight. Players are adamant that they will not play under a salary cap , which has been formally proposed by owners for the first time since 1994 — and we all know how that worked out. "It really does feel like players union and the commissioner's office are speaking two different languages right now," former MLB

Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger was roasted for her visit to a nearly century-old fiddling convention in southwestern Virginia , with the area’s state delegate comparing her unfavorably to failed presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. Clinton famously surprised the hosts of New York’s "Breakfast Club" radio program in 2016 when she said she regularly carries hot sauce in her purse — a remark critics said echoed Beyoncé Knowles and amounted to political pandering to Southern and Black

I reviewed my children’s back-to-school shopping lists last week. After wrapping my head around the dizzying array of required items, I was struck by what was missing: safety. Across America, parents will spend the next few weeks buying everything from notebooks, pens, and pencils to dorm fridges, shower caddies, and laundry baskets.
