For nearly five hours this week, the woman whose encounter with Donald J. Trump resulted in his criminal trial years later has told her side of the story. The woman, Stormy Daniels, answered questions from Manhattan prosecutors for several hours Tuesday before Mr. Trump’s lawyers began cross-examining her, and she will return to the stand Thursday. Defense lawyers are expected to grill her about inconsistencies in her account of a liaison at golf tournament and her motives in divulging it. Ms. Daniels began her testimony by describing how she and Mr. Trump met, a now-infamous encounter just off a fairway in Lake Tahoe, Nev., during a celebrity tournament in July 2006. One was Mr. Trump, the real estate mogul whose fame had skyrocketed as a result of his hosting the reality television show “The Apprentice.”

☆ Migrant Children Sell Candy on the Subway. New York Has No Solutions.
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-13 | by ( Andy Newman | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: 1 min

On a subway platform in the Bronx recently, a girl in a puffer coat strolled past passengers with a basket of M&M’s, Kit Kats and Trident gum slung across her shoulder. One rider captured her on a video posted on X, calling out, “No parent, no parent, where the parent at?” as she walked by. Of all the manifestations of human misery that the two-year-old migrant crisis has brought to New York City, few trouble the conscience more than the sight of children selling candy on the subway — sometimes during school hours, sometimes accompanied by parents, sometimes not. On trains and on social media, New Yorkers have asked: Isn’t this child labor? Shouldn’t someone be doing something to help these children?

☆ McConnell Ends an Era for Himself, His Party and the Senate
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-29 | by ( Carl Hulse | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Mitch McConnell has confessed over the years that as a junior member of the Senate, he longed to be the one whom reporters chased down for information as he jealously watched his more senior colleagues being pursued by the media while he was ignored. He noted that President Ronald Reagan had once misidentified him as Mitch O’Donnell. Then, after Mr. McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, had accumulated real power in the Senate as both majority and minority leader over a 17-year stretch and deftly applied it to bend the Senate to his will, he clammed up. He often refused to even acknowledge the existence of the press as reporters posed questions and he strolled by, sphinx-like. He reiterated that view on Thursday in his first day as a lame-duck leader.

☆ Havana waves and high winds hurl jellyfish and seaweed into the streets

CNN —An unusually strong cold front slammed Cuba’s north coast on Tuesday, with white-capped waves flooding streets with seawater, causing scattered power outages and littering the capital Havana with blowing trash and downed branches. People navigate through a flooded street on a raft in Havana, on February 6, 2024. Yamil Lage/AFP/Getty ImagesAt dawn, the water flowed through some city streets like coastal rivers, moving jellyfish, seaweed and flotsam several blocks landward. “The climate has changed.”Havana, a coastal city built centuries ago on the Gulf of Mexico, is particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels and strengthening storms brought on by human-caused climate change, scientists and city planners have said. Rising sea levels threaten some coastal cities like Havana and could completely wipe from the map low-lying states in parts of the South Pacific Ocean.

By the time Archetype acquired Cheddar in December, only a couple dozen or so editorial staffers remained at the outlet, people familiar with the matter told me.

The peaceful scene, on the second night of a temporary truce between Israel and Hamas, was a moment of respite and reflection for Kaninch, who like other Gazans has endured fear and hardship since the war began on Oct. 7. "These truce days have allowed people to have a bit of social communication and to check on their families and friends and their houses." The headlights of a passing car briefly lit up piles of rubble on the street and graffiti on the walls. The war began when Hamas militants broke out of Gaza on Oct. 7 and rampaged through southern Israel, killing 1,200 people, among them babies and children, and seizing 240 hostages.

The two versions, almost a half century apart, were instantly connected by the familiar timbre of Miller’s voice.
