The move appeared to undercut the Make America Healthy Again movement led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a onetime campaigner against mercury pollution.

The president’s immigration dragnet is vicious but not surprising.

The Trump administration has taken a wrecking ball to the Department of Justice, dismantling the traditional barrier between prosecutorial independence and partisan politics.

With matter-of-fact precision, “A Hymn to Life” powerfully chronicles the shock of discovering her husband’s sex crimes, and the rallying cry that followed.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is preparing to roll out a sweeping universal child care plan for 2-year-olds. This move could reshape family life across the state and deliver a major win tied to a key promise from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Hochul is expected to formally announce the initiative alongside Mamdani on Thursday during an event in central Brooklyn, according to officials familiar with the plans. The proposal would begin rolling out as early as this fall, starting with a phased approach that expands access over several years. Full implementation is projected for the 2029 to 2030 school year, creating a universal system of child care for toddlers statewide. The Brooklyn setting is intentional. Rising child care costs and limited availability have hit city families especially hard, making the announcement a symbolic and strategic moment for both leaders. For Mamdani, the program directly aligns with one of his signature campaign pledges focused on affordability and economic relief for working parents. For Hochul, it reinforces her administration’s emphasis on early childhood education, workforce participation, and long-term economic stability. The timing of the announcement also matters. It comes just days before Hochul’s annual State of the State address, where she is expected to outline broader budget priorities and legislative goals. While specific funding details have not yet been released publicly, lawmakers and advocacy groups are expected to scrutinize how the program will be financed and scaled. If enacted as planned, the universal child care initiative could significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs for families, expand access to early learning, and ease pressure on parents juggling work and caregiving. Educators, providers, and parents alike will be watching closely as the rollout details emerge. For now, all eyes are on Brooklyn as Hochul and Mamdani prepare to put a long-discussed promise into motion. Big news from Gov. Kathy Hochul on child care. She will announce today that she’s “committing to fully fund the first two years” of Zohran Mamdani’s implementation of free preschool for 2-year-olds: pic.twitter.com/KmozPhqZhL — Emma G.
