ALBANY – New York Republicans are making a last-ditch bid to stop Democrats from moving most local elections outside New York City to even years, when voters turn out en masse to pick the president. The State Republican Committee, along with GOP representatives and party committees from Nassau, Suffolk and Orange Counties, sued Gov. Kathy Hochul in federal court in another attempt to undo the 2023 law. “The Even-Year Election Law is unconstitutional and undemocratic,” said William Brewer III, lead counsel for the plaintiffs. New York Republicans are making one last effort to prevent state Democrats from moving most local elections…

Narcissism. That word gets thrown around a good deal these days to describe someone who’s self-absorbed, grandiose, or abrasive. These may be annoying personality traits, but standing alone, they don’t reflect narcissism. So, what is a true narcissist? A narcissist displays a terribly inflated ego or sense of importance and seems to believe the world should revolve around him; he can be impatient, critical, and lacking in empathy. He blames you for problems despite your repeated attempts to prove otherwise, and can accuse you of maliciously plotting against him. He may frequently threaten to cut you off, and might even…

On Friday’s episode of “The View,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin argued it was “wholly irresponsible” for Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom to cast doubt on free and fair elections in the United States under the leadership of President Donald Trump. “We won’t have a country. We won’t have an election that’s fair and free if we don’t stand up,” Newsom told ABC News Thursday, adding Trump wants a “Putin election.” Reacting to Newsom’s comments, Griffin said, “I think it is wholly irresponsible for the governor of the most populous state, who, by the way, oversees elections in his own state.…

A bloodthirsty Sudanese paramilitary commander callously executed men at point-blank range one by one — and then posted sickening footage of the slaughter on social media, as the country’s brutal civil war intensifies. Video shared on social media, and reviewed by the BBC, shows the feared Rapid Support Forces (RSF) brigadier general Abu Lulu systematically gun down nine unarmed captives in the city of el-Fasher in Darfur, which was captured by the militants over the weekend after an 18-month siege. In another disturbing clip, Abu Lulu — whose true name is Al-Fateh Abdullah Idris — was also seen berating a…

Sean “Diddy” Combs could be facing a new criminal probe for allegedly forcing his “Tootsie-Roll” penis on a male music producer after previously masturbating on a shirt belonging to late rapper Biggie and tossing it on his accuser. A recent police “incident/investigation report” obtained by The Post shows that alleged victim Jonathan Hay spoke to cops in late September and repeated his past civil-lawsuit claims that Combs forced him to perform oral sex on him. The accuser estimated to cops that Combs’ penis — once described as a “large Tootsie Roll” by a female accuser — was 4 to 5…

This review contains spoilers for ‘Frankenstein’ (2025). Few filmmakers working today love monsters the way Guillermo del Toro does. He doesn’t fear them, pity them, or try to redeem them — he loves them. In every film, from Pan’s Labyrinth to Crimson Peak, del Toro builds worlds that are achingly, hauntingly beautiful, but never hollow. His images shimmer with the sacred and the grotesque in equal measure. Beneath the intricate design and painterly light, there’s always a pulse, something human and hurting. Frankenstein is no exception; in fact, it might be his most personal act of devotion yet. Frankenstein feels…

LUJAN, Argentina (AP) — Lions, tigers and bears that managed to survive in substandard conditions at a now-shuttered zoo on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, Argentina, paced weakly in their claustrophobic cages on Thursday, waiting their turn to receive urgent veterinary care for the first time in years. The 62 big cats and two brown bears were being evaluated and treated before their eventual transfer to vast wildlife sanctuaries abroad — among the most complex animal rescues undertaken in Argentina after the country’s recent arrangement with an international animal welfare organization. Animal welfare organization members treating a tiger at the former…

Daniel tells me his wife has turned their children against him, blaming him for the divorce. Maggie tells me that her children refuse to see her, talk to her, or even respond to text messages. Poppy, who is only 12, says she wants nothing to do with her father and is prepared to starve herself until the judge changes the custody arrangement. These situations are all too common in divorce and heartbreaking to witness. The rejected parent feels helpless, anguished, and desperate. The child often feels abandoned, enraged, confused, and overwhelmed. Why do children sometimes reject a parent? It’s complicated.…
