Yom Kippur is a day of reflection, of forgiveness, of restoration. This year, may we all pray for a better, kinder, more peaceful future. Wishing all who observe across the five boroughs and the world a meaningful, easy fast. G’mar chatimah tovah.

Tom Kean Jr. is buying and selling stocks as a member of Congress at a remarkably corrupt rate. And he's getting filthy rich. He's out for himself while his constituents struggle to get by.

Wealthy N.J. congressman promised saintly ethics. He chose getting richer instead, rivals say.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels
