House Democrats want to spend $100 billion to expand broadband internet to poor rural and inner-city communities and make permanent a COVID-19 program that pays $50 a month of the internet bill for low-income families while setting maximum prices that providers can charge in some cases. The pandemic highlighted the importance of being able to afford online access for everyday activities such as going to school or seeing a doctor, President Biden and top Democrats on Capitol Hill say. The issue fits into the Democrats’ priority of reducing racial inequity in the U.S. Studies show that Black and Hispanic families are less likely

The suspected gunman who allegedly wounded three people in Times Square—including a 4-year-old girl—is a career criminal with a lengthy rap sheet, sources familiar with the cases told The Post. Farrakhan Muhammad, 31, who remains on the loose, has a criminal record dating to 2007, including two felony robbery arrests and a 2012 bust where cops seized a 12-gauge shotgun, a 22-caliber handgun, and body armor, according to sources.(Snip) Most of the cases were later sealed, and the outcomes were not immediately known.
In total, Muhammad was arrested at least nine times—most recently on an assault charge

Sen. Mitt Romney warned Monday removing Rep. Liz Cheney from GOP leadership in the House will drive voters away from the Republican Party. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy plans to hold a vote Wednesday to oust Ms. Cheney as House conference chair. “Expelling Liz Cheney from leadership won’t gain the GOP one additional voter, but it will cost us quite a few,” Mr. Romney said on Twitter. Mr. Romney is the sole Republican in the Senate to vote to convict Mr. Trump on an abuse-of-power charge following the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Gas prices are already starting to spike in the wake of the suspected Russian cyberattack that shut down America's largest fuel pipeline four days ago as experts fear the attack could turn a 'cyber disaster into a real-world catastrophe'. The attack on Colonial Pipeline, which runs from Texas to New Jersey and transports 45 percent of the East Coast's fuel supply, is the largest assault on US energy infrastructure in history and has sent shockwaves across the industry. It has left Colonial and the US government scrambling to restart the network in a bid to avoid fuel shortages and drastic, long term price hikes.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan posthumously pardoned 34 lynching victims who were killed across the state between 1854 and 1933, saying the historic move is an attempt to “right these horrific wrongs.” Hogan on Saturday issued the blanket pardons for the 34 victims—including a 15-year-old black boy who was hanged by a white mob in 1885—because they were denied legal process and equal protection of law, marking the first such move by a governor of a US state. “Today, we are once again leading the way as we continue the work to build a more perfect union,” the Republican governor said.

Paul Hogan is trapped in a living nightmare as his neighbourhood in Los Angeles suffers a wave of crime and homelessness. The Crocodile Dundee star, 81, lives in the once-elite beachside suburb of Venice, where a vast increase in homelessness has seen hundreds of tents line the beach's famous boardwalk and resulted in a sharp increase in crime. Paul is now reportedly holed up inside his 'fortress-like' $4.5million mansion with his musician son Chance, 23, eagerly waiting for the day he can finally return home to Australia. 'Where Paul lives in hell on earth,' Paul's neighbour Tyler Proctor, a local politician, told Woman's Day magazine.

A group of serving French soldiers have published a new open letter warning Emmanuel Macron that the 'survival' of France is at stake after the President made 'concessions' to Islamism. The letter published in the right-wing magazine Valeurs Actuelles (Today's Values) late on Sunday echoes the tone of a similar letter printed in the same magazine last month which also warned a civil war was brewing and called for military action against 'Islamists'.(Snip) The previous letter, signed by 1,000 people including serving officers and some 20 semi-retired generals, warned of the 'disintegration' of France because of radical Islamic 'hordes' living in the suburbs.

Tensions always run high in The Community, especially on Mothers Day when so few fathers are around and in a hub of White Supremacy like NYC, so when fists fly or shots ring out at the slightest provocation, well, the tourists are just going to have to deal with it because no lives matter until BLACK lives matter.
