The Democratic Socialists of America have big plans for card-carrying NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani – especially when it comes to pushing its extreme, Israel-hating views on New Yorkers.

Before first taking Congressional office in 1988, the then-47-year-old freshman and her hubby, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi, reported between $610,000 and $785,000 in stocks in their portfolio, according to a copy of her "hand delivered" 1987 financial disclosure form.

National stereotypes often have some element of truth to them, but my experience of people from north of the border suggests the “dour Scotsman” trope does not. This erroneous view is never more evident than when applied to the subject of the Scotland national men’s team in the November tests. Like a crystal clear stream feeding a distillery producing bottles of an adeptly aged, 80% cask strength spirit of optimism, hope springs eternal from fans and commentators alike among the reddening leaves and mellow fruitfulness.

Past history suggests this is not misplaced as the Autumn has gleaned more Scotland wins than losses vs tier 1 opposition, including recent victories over Australia and current world champions South Africa.

Brazil’s president welcomes world leaders while navigating divided government, promising action on deforestation and emissions

• How could the Tropical Forest Forever Facility tackle deforestation?

Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has welcomed world leaders to Belém for the first climate summit in the Amazon, where conservationists hope he can be a champion for the rainforest and its people.

Diana Shams wrote a book because ‘no one explains how to carry your baby through fire, hunger and fear – and still sing to her at bedtime’

She used to worry about screen time. She used to fret over sugar. She used to dwell on what cartoon character might be the right one to put on her son’s next birthday cake.

“I thought being a mother meant sleepless nights, picky eaters, school runs, messy rooms and too much laundry,” writes the author Diana Shams. “I used to think motherhood was hard.”

Everyone say, "Thank you, Guillermo del Toro."

A Russian drone slammed into a tower block in eastern Ukraine early on Saturday while many were sleeping, killing three and injuring 12 people, Ukrainian authorities reported.

Unlike outgoing Mayor Adams -- a centrist Dem who immediately clashed with the Council upon arriving at City Hall in 2022 -- the silver-spoon socialist should find a much more receptive audience when he takes office in January, pols and pundits say.
