When Sampson Dahl, 28, found a former laundromat in Maspeth, Queens on an online forum back in 2019, he had no idea how much the space would become his life. Early last year, CNBC Make It met Dahl after his former laundromat-turned-apartment went viral on TikTok. At the time, he was paying $1,850 a month — his rent has since increased to $1,900. "I've gotten to focus on the space a lot, so I've been throwing shows, events, and intimate gatherings almost weekly at this point," Dahl tells CNBC Make It. "It's been a great opportunity to kind of dive into the space more."

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The signs are all around downtown Indianapolis now: NBA All-Star weekend finally has arrived. Posters of the All-Star players cover Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the NFL's Indianapolis Colts and host to All-Star Saturday Night, and Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home of the Pacers and WNBA's Indiana Fever and site of Sunday's All-Star Game. There's even a larger-than-life graphic of Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton on the towering 33-story glass facade at the JW Marriott hotel. “When we had to shift the All-Star Game off of 2021, we were trying to figure out when it would work out and we landed on 2024,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in October. “But that three years, I think, has really turned out to benefit us.”Now, the Pacers appear ready to shine under the spotlight of a second All-Star weekend.

Alabama, Florida and Tennessee each have been the site of three mass killings, with a total of at least 12 victims in each state. Six more states – including Maine and North Carolina – have had two mass-killing incidents this year, while eight states have had one. Since 2006, nearly 3,000 victims have died in mass killings in the U.S., and approximately 2,000 more have been injured. The analysis accompanying the database also notes that fatal public shootings typically make up a smaller portion of mass killings overall, and that victims of mass killings most often are family members or acquaintances of the killers. Among 42 mass killings in 2022, for example, fatal public shootings – unrelated to other criminal activity – accounted for seven incidents, while mass killings involving family accounted for 17.

Massachusetts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania have recently tried to start providing striking workers jobless benefits, too. Here's what else workers on strike should know about unemployment benefits. Workers on strike in the Empire State can typically collect the benefits for as long as 26 weeks. Workers on strike in New Jersey may also qualify for unemployment benefits, and lawmakers recently shortened the waiting time for eligibility there, too, to 14 days, down from 30.

Among the many conspiracy theories that have fueled that belief on the right are those surrounding ballot drop boxes. Users have promoted the investigation as evidence for the persistent, false narratives about widespread fraud connected to ballot drop boxes. Some Republican lawmakers, who had raised concerns about the security of drop boxes during the pandemic, said the Bridgeport videos prove they were correct. In many cases, drop boxes are placed in locations where they can be monitored by election staff or security cameras. “It’s not the ballot boxes that are the problem,” said Cheri Quickmire, executive director of the voter advocacy group Common Cause in Connecticut.

As he walked down to the amphitheater-like green, Fleetwood was serenaded with “Tommy, Tommy” chants by the massive crowd both lining the fairway and filling a three-story hospitality structure. While the next Ryder Cup that Europe hosts will be at Adare Manor in Ireland, Ryder Cup Europe seems intent on returning to the continent for 2031 or 2035, with interest from Austria and Spain.

Under the new legislation, the monitor will conduct inspections and investigations for the 2023 municipal election and the 2024 state election in Bridgeport. The possible electoral fraud incident is already the subject of a state elections investigation and a civil lawsuit filed by the candidate who lost the primary. Republicans in the Democratic-controlled General Assembly insisted Connecticut must take more steps to tighten its electoral laws and ensure confidence in elections across the state. “It's necessary to show the people of Connecticut that we're not going to tolerate people undermining our election process,” said state Sen. The $150,000 for the election monitor had been approved earlier this year for the two-year position, but it was mistakenly sent to the wrong state agency.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Former U.S. Sen. Lauch Faircloth of North Carolina, a onetime conservative Democrat who switched late in his career to the Republicans and then got elected to Congress, died Thursday. Before the end of the 1998 campaign, Faircloth had fired his campaign consultant and tried to link Edwards to Bill Clinton and portray him as out of step with moderates and conservatives. Sanford rewarded Faircloth with an appointment to the state Highway Commission, which he chaired later under Gov. Faircloth was putting together his own Senate bid in 1986 when his old friend Sanford entered the race, causing him to stand down. "For close to 50 years, I've been a businessman making a payroll on Fridays," Faircloth said during his 1998 reelection bid.

Women’s World Cup 2023: Live scores, fixtures, results, tables and top scorersCNN —Jamaica earned a historic first-ever Women’s World Cup win on Saturday, defeating Panama 1-0 following a goal from captain Allyson Swaby. It was a scoreless opening half, one where the history at stake for both teams – Panama was seeking a first World Cup win too – was palpable as Jamaica fired shot after shot over the crossbar and Panama seemed content to play out from the back. Jamaica secured its first Women's World Cup victory. Meanwhile, Panama fought to keep a foothold in the game, occasionally challenging Jamaica’s backline as its own defense scrambled well to keep the Reggae Girlz at bay. But it seemed a matter of time until Jamaica found the back of the net, and Swaby eventually put her team ahead, sparking jubilant celebrations on the field.

☆ Review: In ‘This Land Was Made,’ Huey Newton Walks Into a Bar

In Oakland, Calif., in 1968, Huey P. Newton, the Black Panther leader, was convicted of killing a white police officer. In 1971, after two more trials and nearly two years in prison, he was cleared of all charges. That’s the question at the heart of “This Land Was Made,” the gutsy but murky new play by Tori Sampson at the Vineyard Theater. Most successful is the sitcom element, which could be titled “Trish’s,” an Oakland bar where everybody knows your name. For about 25 minutes, Sampson serves up something warm and piquant at Trish’s: an interplay of zingers, flirtations, spats and politics.

After a year of moving between foster homes, the twins petitioned to attend an all-Black boarding school in Mississippi, where their independence was contingent on high achievement. “I was always yearning to understand what it would look like to have a family,” Sampson said. “I wanted to write a story where Huey P. Newton walks into a bar and changes the lives of the people there forever,” Sampson said of the Black Panther Party co-founder. She got the idea for the play, a blend of historical fiction and sitcom conventions, when she learned that Newton’s rise to prominence began with an unsolved mystery. Rallies ‌to “Free Huey” helped set off the Black Power movement.

May 4 (Reuters) - Jamaica lost all three games and finished bottom of their group in their only previous Women's World Cup appearance but defender Vyan Sampson says they are much more organised under new coach Lorne Donaldson and can spring a surprise this time around. They also lost all three games in the Cup of Nations tournament in February but Sampson said the team were making progress ahead of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. "But we've also, with the help of our new and technical staff, really buckled down and become a much more organised team too ... We're a small nation, but we don't fear anyone." "The fact we have her in our locker is another massive part of what makes us believe that we can do something at this World Cup." Jamaica are in Group F with France, Brazil and Panama at the World Cup, which will be held from July 20-Aug. 20.
