This remarkable view was captured by NASA’s Curiosity rover from Gale Crater on Mars. Unlike Earth, where sunsets often glow with shades of red, orange, and gold, a Martian sunset can produce a striking blue glow around the setting Sun.

Ken Paxton’s former top cop: What motivates someone like Ken Paxton? I’ve been around him enough. He has two motivations in life: Money and power. I cannot accurately describe the amount of commitment Ken Paxton had to continue to participate in this criminal enterprise. He was obsessed with it.

Today, I was proud to join New Yorkers for the 9/11 Day of Service at the Intrepid Museum. September 11th is a day we remember the terror and loss our city endured. It is also a day we remember the extraordinary courage, kindness and generosity New Yorkers showed one another.
Mayor Mamdani volunteers at the Intrepid day of service. He is wearing a suit and a blue hair net.
