Los Angeles, I am deeply honored to be your next mayor. I just spoke with Mayor Bass and expressed my deepest gratitude for her leadership and decades of service. Los Angeles would not be the city it is today without her. I love this city. I believe in its people. The work ahead will be hard, and change will take time. And together, we are going to build a future as extraordinary as the city we call home. Thank you, LA. Let’s get to work.

He is 42 years old 🇺🇸 His younger brother is named Osama. On 9/11 his stepmother called to say she was picking the brother up from school. Abdul stayed at school "just in case" anyone needed defending. After 9/11, at age 16, he was a target on the football field, got into a fight after hearing racist comments, and was told by his coach "You're going to be Abdul El-Sayed for the rest of your life. You can use that as an excuse or as motivation" His Egyptian grandmother (Teta Soad), who was illiterate and raised kids in a one-bedroom apartment above a fish market, is the person he still asks himself about daily "Would Teta be proud? He was born on Halloween Captained his high school football, wrestling, and lacrosse teams. He has said he has only seen his father cry twice in his life. One of those times was when his father had to tell him that Teta had died. At age 30, he became the youngest health director of a major U.S city when he was appointed to rebuild Detroit’s health department. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed met his wife Sarah through the Muslim Students' Association at the University of Michigan and proposed while she was still a freshman. . . . . Abdul El-Sayed is the first Muslim Senator in US history. It's an huge win for the Muslim community, the Democrats and the state of Michigan whom majority voted him in. He has emerged as a Senator because a part of the people in the state of Michigan believe in his competence in governing affairs, as he has proven himself in past offices. . . . In the midst of all the uproar going on, let's look forward to how this win will bring about the best interest of the people of Michigan and the united states in general, as this is the most paramount. . . . Congratulations Abdul El-Sayed . . Thank you very much for reading . . ✍️ Vincent the Therapist
JUST IN: Abdul El-Sayed (D) wins Michigan Senate, becoming the first Muslim senator in U.S. history.

This has been the most rewarding, exhilarating, and exhausting 19 months of my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. None of this is possible without all of you — the people. The people who knocked doors, canvassed, made phone calls, sent texts, volunteered, donated, shared a social media post, spread the word, and voted. This is OUR seat. I’m going to make you proud. Thank you, Michigan!

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY.

Edgar Wright says he was never told about the AI-assisted remaster of his comedy series "Spaced," which is soon to be released on Blu-ray. "Finding out about this for the first time is… disheartening. I had been pushing to do a Blu-Ray of SPACED for years, so to find out that someone just went ahead without our involvement is…. a bummer. Not authorized by anyone involved in making the show.” variety.com/2026/tv/global/e…

Travis Knight says the final battle in ‘WILDWOOD’ combines stop-motion, hand-drawn, and CG animation. “It required us to use every single technique and technology that we’ve developed... but in the end, we want people to be enveloped in the emotion of the story.”

Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.  Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is. I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately. The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.  The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.

From the high schools of France to the streets of Madrid to the universities of Tirana, young people are telling their governments the same thing: in an age of massive wealth inequality, they want a future they can believe in. In France, students and teachers are asking for safe schools, enough teachers and smaller classes. In Spain, for affordable rent and housing. In Albania, for good jobs and an end to corruption. @JDVance says this is what happens when a nation lets in too many immigrants from the global south. He is not just morally wrong, but misreading the moment. The is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few. This is what happens when young people lose hope in their future. In America, let us listen to our young. We need an economic and political transformation. America's Next New Deal.
