Senator Elizabeth Warren has come calling as recently as April. Kamala Harris, the first-term senator of California, has made repeated visits, starting as early as her third month in office. Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. is also no stranger to the big-money donor world of New York; he was here in April — his third such visit in three months. It will be months before Mr. Biden, Ms. Harris, Ms. Warren or most potential presidential aspirants will barnstorm across the farmlands of Iowa, dig into a low-country boil in South Carolina or field questions at a town-hall meeting in New Hampshire. But with American presidential races requiring an ever-dizzying amount of money, an early, behind-the-scenes 2020 contest is already taking place: the New York money primary. Over passed appetizers, intimate dinners and private board room meet-and-greets, a parade of nationally ambitious Democrats have been cycling through the offices and living rooms of the Manhattan money set. … [Read more...] about The First 2020 Race Is Underway: Scrambling for New York Donors

Drop in Gang Violence Drove New York City Shootings Below 1,000 in 2016
A steep drop in gang violence last year drove shootings in New York City to the lowest number in at least a quarter-century, Police Department data shows, a result of what police officials say has been a focus on gang takedowns and targeted arrests in some of the city’s roughest neighborhoods. The internal police data, obtained by The New York Times, paints a detailed portrait of the motives, locations and circumstances behind murders and shootings for the last two years. Gang-related shootings fell to 412 in 2016, from 560 the year before, according to the data, which tracked shootings and murders through Dec. 28 of each year. Gang-related killings dropped to 79 in 2016, from 129 in 2015. Those drop-offs helped push citywide shootings to a new low of 998 by year’s end, police officials said, down from 1,138 in 2015. Murders also fell, to 335 from 352 the year before. The New York City police commissioner, James P. O’Neill , has noted the department’s efforts to push … [Read more...] about Drop in Gang Violence Drove New York City Shootings Below 1,000 in 2016
New York Times Tries, Fails to Fact-check DeSantis on Book Ban Hoax
The New York Times tried — and failed — Wednesday to fact-check Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) claim that Florida is not banning books. DeSantis called the claim, repeated by Democrats like Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), a “hoax.” Newsom and other Democrats — including, on Wednesday, White House Press Secreatry Karine Jean-Pierre — have used the book ban hoax to smear DeSantis and Republicans: Reading some banned books to figure out what these states are so afraid of. pic.twitter.com/z6eJ01NZJe — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) March 31, 2022 (Ironically, one of the books Newsom posed with in the photo above, To Kill a Mockingbird , was actually banned temporarily by a school district in Newsom’s own State of California because of concerns about the use of racial language in the text.) “The whole book ban thing is a hoax,” DeSantis said, during his technologically-challenged Twitter launch. There’s not been a single book banned in the state of Florida. You can go buy or use whatever … [Read more...] about New York Times Tries, Fails to Fact-check DeSantis on Book Ban Hoax
Woman on Turbulent Cross-Country Road Trip With Boyfriend Goes Missing
Toni Alcaraz says that she usually speaks with her sister, Nikki Alcaraz, almost every day. For three weeks now, however, Toni hasn’t heard a word from Nikki—who was last seen on a cross-country trip with her boyfriend, Tyler Stratton. Nikki Alcaraz, also known as Nikki Cunningham, is a 33-year-old mother of two, Oklahoma’s News 4 reports. She reportedly left Tennessee for California with Stratton and a dog in her black 2013 Jeep Wrangler, which sports a “Mama Tried” sticker, camo seats, and a “BGL3539” tag. Nashville’s WKRN reports that Stratton—named in fliers shared by the Cheatham County Sheriff’s Office on Facebook as Steven Tyler Stratton—is wanted in Tennessee on an unrelated charge for “failure to appear on a probation violation that stems from a theft charge.” The news outlet also compared Alcaraz’s disappearance to that of Floridian Gabby Petito —who went missing during a cross-country trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie. Petito was found dead in … [Read more...] about Woman on Turbulent Cross-Country Road Trip With Boyfriend Goes Missing
