House Dem says she needs more migrants in her area
A New York City Democrat has said she needed more migrants in her congressional district for 'redistricting purposes'. Rep. Yvette Clarke said on a Zoom call in January 2024, which has recently resurfaced online, that the Big Apple could take in more migrants. Redistricting is the process of dividing up new electoral district boundaries. Therefore, Clarke's adversaries said her comment showed her desire to move more people, who would perhaps vote in her favor, into her constituency. Clarke's words were brought up during a Homeland Security Committee in March this year - in which President Joe Biden 's border security policies were discussed. Rep. Reli Crane, an Arizona Republican, played the clip, saying: 'Her words outline Biden's failed plans for illegal immigration to gain political influence.' Her comments came at a time when Democrats in the state were passing a congressional map that redid district lines. Districts in New York City did not change. After recently resurfacing, Clarke's previous comments have sparked fury online amongst conservatives, who blamed her for trying to 'import votes.' One person posted: 'So we're just saying the quiet part out loud now? Import votes. Manipulate districts. Call it equity.' They continued: 'This isn't representation, it's population engineering for political survival. And every American should be outraged.' Another person posted: 'She's openly admitting to bringing in votes to cling to power. Did she think this wouldn't leak, or have Democrats become this brazen? This isn't democracy, it's blatant voter fraud on a massive scale. Shameful.' 'This has always been their game plan. They can't win on policy, so they must rig it', another added. President Donald Trump has been cracking down on illegal immigration after his return to the White House earlier this year. An operation in New York in April saw 133 people arrested across Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, Rouses Point and Massena. Stephen Miller, the president's deputy chief of staff and chief architect of his immigration policies, has set a target of at least 3,000 immigration arrests a day. Miller and 'Border Czar' Tom Homan have both suggested that the numbers are not currently where they want them. Homan backed the ambitious new benchmark, insisting: 'We've gotta' increase these arrests and removals.'

Zoe Kravitz sparks concern over shockingly thin appearance as she steps out in NYC after surprise Emmy nom
Zoe Kravitz has sparked fan concern over her 'thin' appearance as she enjoyed an outing in NYC this week. The Batman actress, 36 - who has been romantically linked to hunky actor Noah Centineo - kept busy on Thursday in the Big Apple while putting on a leggy display in a stylish look. However, some social media users voiced worry over the star's slim figure in the comment section of an Instagram post shared by gossip site DeuxMoi. One penned, 'I never noticed how tiny she is,' while another wrote, 'She doesn't look healthy.' A fan also typed out, 'She looks TINY,' while others continued to say that she appears 'too thin' in the recent images. However, another expressed, 'She has always been petite and small frame. She looks gorgeous just like her mother. Channing fumbled,' referencing to Zoe's ex-fiance Channing Tatum. Other fans also compared the actress to her mother Lisa Bonet - who was married to singer Lenny Kravitz from 1987 until 1993. 'Man, she looks so much like her beautiful mama!' one typed out, and another shared, 'She looks so much like her mother in these.' Another came to the her defense and added, 'Everyone commenting on her weight is so obviously seething with jealousy, the gym is always open to you plus some people really are that naturally thin, maybe yall should cry about it.' During the daytime excursion, Kravitz put on a leggy display in a pair of black, mini shorts as well as a printed, red shirt. She additionally slipped into a pair of open-toed, black pumps and easily carried a Yves Saint Laurent purse in her left hand. Her dark locks were parted in the middle and pulled back into a low up do, allowing loose strands to fall down her back. Zoe opted for minimal accessories as she exited The Bowery Hotel and sported small earrings as well as black shades. The star sipped on an iced coffee that she also carried while heading to her next destination. 'Man, she looks so much like her beautiful mama!' one typed out, and another shared, 'She looks so much like her mother in these' The High Fidelity actress later slipped into a pair of black sweatpants and added a black hat on top of her head. Kravitz has previously opened up about confidence and inner beauty during an interview in InStyle in 2018. 'I'm just trying to listen to my body, spirit, and heart and notice when I don't feel good. And when that happens, I shift my energy or my perspective.' She continued, 'Steam rooms are, like, my favorite places ever. For me, spas aren't for getting my nails done. I want to sweat it out. I have a steam room in my house because it just makes me feel so good. 'When I'm in L.A., I go to a Korean spa and spend hours there sweating it out, moving the energy.' And while talking to Elle, the beauty also discussed her form of self-care and emphasized the importance of hydration - and allowing a cheat day once in a while. 'Trying to drink enough water is such a huge thing. I really don't. Sometimes I'll realize it's five o'clock and I've had the tiniest glass of water. I try to go to the gym or at least walk and move my body around.' She added, 'I try eating well - making sure you're eating greens or steamed veggies, or stuff that doesn't have a lot of oil or chemicals. 'But if you want to go to McDonald's every once in a while, do it! But it's about clean food that hasn't been processed.' Earlier this week, the nominations for the 2025 Emmys were announced - with the ceremony set to be held later this year on September 14. Zoe garnered a nod for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series after she played herself in the satirical comedy series The Studio. The cast also included Seth Rogen - one the show's co-creators - as well as Chase Sui Wonders, Catherine O'Hara, Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn and Bryan Cranston. During an interview with Deadline, Kravitz opened up about portraying an unhinged version of herself. 'If you can't make fun of yourself, I think there's something wrong. And so I was really excited to make fun of myself, or the idea of myself, and the awards cycle, and all of that.' Zoe added, 'I think it's something to laugh at and to explore - it's not just pointing and laughing.' Nine months earlier, the actress split from fiance Channing Tatum - after the former couple began dating in 2021. Kravitz has since been linked to actor Noah Centineo after the pair were seen spending time together this year. They were last spotted a couple months ago in May while out in NYC.

NYC mayoral election polls: Who's leading among Mamdani, Cuomo, Adams and Sliwa
The Brief Zohran Mamdani's primary victory as a Democratic socialist has disrupted the traditional expectation of securing the general election win in New York City, prompting former Gov. Andrew Cuomo to re-enter the race as an independent, alongside incumbent Mayor Eric Adams and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Recent polls show Mamdani leading the race, with varying margins over Cuomo, Sliwa and Adams, indicating a competitive election landscape. Mamdani holds a slight lead in most scenarios, but Cuomo shows strength in head-to-head matchups. NEW YORK - In New York City, scoring the Democratic nomination for mayor is traditionally viewed as a lock for a general election win, but Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani's primary victory has rewritten the playbook. President Donald Trump insists that Mamdani can't win as he ramps up his attacks against the 33-year-old, and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo threw his hat back in the ring as an independent after losing the Dem primary race. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who saw record-low approval ratings this year, and Republican Curtis Sliwa have insisted they would not drop out of the race, even as Mamdani critics urge them to do so. Antitrust lawyer Jim Walden is also in the race. But what do polls say about who voters want to become the Big Apple's next mayor? Latest polls A July poll by market research company HarrisX shows Mamdani leading a four-man race. The survey of 585 registered New York City voters has Mamdani with 26% of the vote, followed by Cuomo (23%), Sliwa (22%) and Adams (13%). Fifteen percent of responded said they are undecided. Yet Cuomo and Sliwa are within the polls margin of error, meaning the results essentially show a three-way tie. The survey also laid out the following scenarios: In a three-way race without Adams, Cuomo (31%) is statistically tied with Mamdani (29%) and Sliwa (28 percent). In a three-way race without Cuomo, Mamdani leads by 10 points, winning 35% to Sliwa's 25% and Adams' 19%. In head-to-head matchups, Mamdani topples Adams 43% to 36% but trails Cuomo 35% to 50%, a 15-point advantage for Cuomo. More polls Data for Progress, a left-wing think tank, conducted a survey of 756 voters which shows Mamdani in the lead (40%) followed by Cuomo (24%), Adams (15%) and Sliwa (14%). Slingshot Strategies, a political consulting firm, has Mamdani ahead (35%) followed by Cuomo (25%), Sliwa (14%) and Adams (11%) in a poll of 1,036 registered NYC voters. American Pulse, a market research company, surveyed 568 likely NYC voters - 35.2% would voter for Mamdani, followed by 29% for Cuomo, 16.1% for Sliwa and 13.8% for Adams.

Eli Manning Reveals 100 Million Reasons To Say 'No' to Giants Ownership Idea
Eli Manning Reveals 100 Million Reasons To Say 'No' to Giants Ownership Idea originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Giants were smart to explore whether they could bring their Super Bowl-winning quarterback back into the fold, in any capacity. Advertisement Eli Manning's heroics for the franchise have made him a legend in the Big Apple. Two Super Bowl victories over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots only enhance Manning's legacy with the franchise. Since his retirement, though, the Giants have fallen on hard times. Injuries, poor offensive line play and inconsistent quarterback production were common during Manning's final years with the organization. These problems have only gotten worse since 2019. Recently, Manning has been looking for ways to remain involved with the organization. One way to do that was to potentially buy a share of the club. Advertisement This week, though, Manning balked at that idea. "Basically, it's too expensive for me," Manning told CNBC Sports. "These numbers are getting very big. A one-percent stake of something valued at $10 billion – it turns into a very big number. "I love the Giants, and I think it is deserving of that valuation. There will be people that want to go for it, and I was kind of along for the ride." We can use Manning's number. If the Giants are really worth $10 billion, that's $100 million for a piece of the action. Forbes listed the Giants franchise with a valuation of over $7 billion. A one-percent stake in the club would be valued at over $70 million. Fox Business has Manning's career earnings at over $250 million, three times the valuation of a potential minority purchase. Advertisement Could Manning buy that minor piece of the Giants? Sure. But the quarterback doesn't want to give up a third of those career earnings. And, while we can barely count that high, to us, it's hard to argue with that logic.
