New York City Mayor Eric Adams ended his struggling reelection campaign Sunday, an acknowledgment that he was no longer a credible contender after a year of scandal and political turmoil.In a video released on social media, Adams spoke proudly of his tenure as mayor. But he said his now-dismissed federal corruption case left voters wary of him, and “constant media speculation” about his future made it impossible to raise enough money to run a serious campaign.“Despite all we’ve achieved, I cannot continue my reelection campaign,” he said.Adams did not endorse any of the remaining candidates in the race, but he…

Democratic and Republican congressional leaders are heading to the White House for a meeting with President Donald Trump on Monday in a late effort to avoid a government shutdown, but both sides have shown hardly any willingness to budge from their entrenched positions.If government funding legislation isn’t passed by Congress and signed by Trump on Tuesday night, many government offices across the nation will be temporarily shuttered and nonexempt federal employees will be furloughed, adding to the strain on workers and the nation’s economy.Republicans are daring Democrats to vote against legislation that would keep government funding mostly at current levels,…

QUESTION: Hi Martin, I’m sure you’re aware of the new European Schengen Entry Exit System (EES), that’s set to go live in just a few weeks, October 12th. Once it’s live, then anyone entering or exiting the Schengen area will be required to submit biometric data (fingerprints and face scan) into the system and renew every 3 years. As someone that’s actually in Schengen right now, I’m torn on this. On the one hand, I really don’t trust any of these politicians or systems with my personal data, who knows how vulnerable it could be to hacking, breaches, leaks etc,…
A few years back, Deanna Conley had just moved to Newport, Rhode Island with a 3-month-old and 3-year-old. She soon joined a focus group for a new type of club forming in her area. This club—part daycare, part adult coworking space, and a little bit gym—would fulfill Conley’s post-moving needs: It offered community in a town where she knew no one, a space to work as a small business owner without an office, and affordable childcare. “The cost of a nanny was really prohibitive for us,” Conley says. Her older son had been in traditional daycare prior to the family’s…
I sent this email to members of Congress. This is what I warned: (1) We should get out of NATO, they will do a false flag in Polandand they intend to invoke Article 5 to force Trump into World War IIIbecause this has NOTHING to do with Ukraine, this is the NEOCONSmanipulation of everyone to conquer Russia and China told Kallas to herface China is not prepared to allow Russia to lose for they “know we will be next.” (2) Sanctions have NEVER worked. They have been in Cuba since 1960 and onIRAN since 1979. This is a stupid NEOCON…

“Climate tech” isn’t a thing. It has shifted in recent years from a category to define clean energy companies to an umbrella phrase that loses meaning the more we use it. Granted, the term is everywhere: inserted into VC pitch decks, plastered on billboards along highways from San Francisco to Austin to Boston, wedged into government policy papers, and featured prominently on conference agendas. Media properties from CNBC to GreenBiz rely on it as a traffic-driving category. And there’s a reason why. A changing climate is the most complex and vast challenge and opportunity confronting our society today. That also…
As news worsens, the potential for comedy rises. No one understands this inverse relationship better than the team behind The Onion, which has channeled today’s dystopian political slide into banger headlines (“Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From”). The news site has attracted nearly 54,000 subscribers since its relaunch last year, and is on track to generate $6 million in revenue in 2025, according to The Wall Street Journal. Which is why it seemed particularly comical when, in May, the satirical news outlet issued a press release announcing a “foray into advertising”…
I think these hiring managers are playing in my face. I’ve been on the hunt for a new gig for a large chunk of this year, and it feels like I’ve seen it all. I’ve watched some appealing job listings be pulled down within hours, while others sit stagnantly for months. I’ve heard tales of scammers trying to dupe job seekers; legit employers advertising phantom roles to collect talent data and present an illusion of company growth. These days, the job market is feeling like the wild wild west out here — and there’s no catchy Will Smith bop to dance along to. Navigating that…
