An NYC patient has tested positive for the same genus virus as monkeypox sparking calls from the health department for residents to wear masks indoors—just as New Yorkers were finally returning to mask-free normalcy after COVID-19. The CDC is still waiting for confirmation that it is monkeypox, after the patient tested positive for orthopoxvirus—the genus of viruses that includes smallpox, cowpox, horsepox, camelpox, and monkeypox. City officials say a second possible monkeypox patient tested negative for the virus.
The health department is encouraging New Yorkers to wear face masks to protect against the new virus outbreak, as well as COVID-19 and the flu.

The US is working on a plan “to destroy the Black Sea Fleet” with powerful missiles in order to unblock Ukraine’s ports, according to a high-ranking Ukrainian official. “The effective work of the Ukrainians on warships convinced (the US) to prepare a plan to unblock the ports,” Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs adviser Anton Geraschchenko tweeted Friday. “Deliveries of powerful anti-ship weapons (Harpoon and Naval Strike Missile with a range of 250-300 km) are being discussed.” Geraschchenko’s saber-rattling tweet—notably written in Russian—followed an exclusive report by Reuters saying the White House is in the process of putting more advanced missiles in the hands of Ukrainians

As the specter of a North Korean missile or nuclear test hangs over the trip, the White House indicated Saturday morning a new openness to provide North Korea with coronavirus aid despite the threats.
'I think that we are very concerned about the COVID situation in the [Democratic People's Republic of Korea]. We are very sensitive to the fact that they appear to be facing a quite serious situation and I think you've seen we stand

Charges have been dropped against the teenage rapper accused of shooting an NYPD officer during a scuffle in the Bronx earlier this year, officials confirmed. The gun and assault case against Camrin Williams, a 16-year-old reputed gangbanger and rapper who goes by the stage name C Blu, “cannot be prosecuted,” the city Law Department said in a Friday statement, without elaborating. Williams had been facing the charges after allegedly shooting 27-year-old cop Kaseem Pennant in the leg in January while he was on probation for a prior gun case.(Snip)One week after he made bail, Williams was hauled back into juvenile court for violating his probation.

There are no guarantees in life, yet we still have expectations. We expect our elected leaders to behave selflessly so they can keep the American people in mind first. But when politicians ignore our humanity in pursuit of their own agenda, the American people tend to suffer the consequences, even with their lives.(Snip)As the homicide rate increased by 30% across the board, demographically, the homicide rate for black Americans increased by a dramatic 34%, higher than any other racial demographic. White Americans saw a 19% increase and Hispanic Americans 7%. But, as the Manhattan Institute’s Christos Makridis and Robert VerBruggen note, “since the black homicide rate was already

A leading figure in the Biden administration has backed a recovery programme for Ukraine in the style of the Marshall plan, which helped rebuild Europe after the second world war. Pete Buttigieg, the US transportation secretary, said there was plenty of political will at home and internationally towards cooperating in long-term reconstruction efforts including to buttress existing infrastructure in Ukraine. “With the memory of the Marshall plan in mind, what we’re talking about is not only about how we fund immediate needs and support their ability to maintain the war effort, but how we support the ability of Ukraine to be economically viable and generate a sustainable future for themselves

Ahead of next week's planned end of Title 42, migrants were seen pouring in through the gaps in the U.S.-Mexico border wall and lining up to be taken in for processing in photos taken Thursday.
Title 42, the pandemic-era public health rule that restricts immigration, is set to end Monday. As of the beginning of this month, more than 1.9 million people have been expelled under Title 42 since April 2020, most of them under the Biden administration.
Border Patrol agents encountered 234,000 unlawful crossings in April, a new record high, and about 41 percent of the encounters ended in a Title 42 expulsion. Some of those crossings

We don’t see this often, but we should: Nine Brooklyn public housing developments where more than 6,000 people live will Friday celebrate rehabbed kitchens and bathrooms and windows and floors, elevators, lobbies, fire systems, community spaces, playgrounds and boiler rooms—courtesy of the federal Rental Assistance Demonstration/Permanent Affordability Commitment Together program, a mouthful that’s shorthanded as RAD-PACT. Opponents who dismiss it as unacceptable privatization should tour the overhauled facilities, then ask themselves whether their demagoguery and ideological rigidity is worth blocking progress for some of the neediest and most neglected New Yorkers. The program began a decade ago, and it lets agencies choose to get federal funding

Two Secret Service employees were shipped back to the US from South Korea this week following an alcohol-fueled confrontation with a local cab driver ahead of President Biden’s trip to the country, according to multiple reports. ABC News reported Friday that an agent and an armed physical security specialist assigned to go to Seoul to help prepare for Biden’s visit went out to dinner on a recent evening and hit multiple bars. Later that night, the pair reportedly became intoxicated and the agent got into a heated argument with the cabbie. Police were eventually called to the scene, though only one of the two workers was reportedly investigated

A furious female skateboarder has slammed Red Bull for sponsoring a contest where she placed second to her trans rival. Taylor Silverman claims she and other female competitors were disadvantaged by officials at the Red Bull Cornerstone Contest, where she placed second and received a $2,750 award. Trans skateboarder Lillian Gallagher was awarded $5,000 for placing first and winning two separate divisions—money that Silverman says should have been given to her. Silverman, who has been skateboarding for 11 years, said when she tried to reach out to officials to 'do the right thing even if it's not the popular thing,' she was ignored.

A 10-year employee of steelmaker Arconic has sued the Pittsburgh-based firm after he was fired last year for writing on an internal company web survey that the use of a rainbow to symbolize Gay Pride Month is “an abomination to God.” Daniel Snyder, 63, was employed as a lead operator at Arconic’s Davenport Works in Riverdale, Iowa, beginning in 2011. After his termination, Mr. Snyder found work at a John Deere assembly line at “significantly less” pay, no overtime and “materially reduced” medical benefits, the filing states.(Snip)The complaint alleges the company’s diversity policy “actually punishes diversity of opinion, allowing only one opinion

You mean like the AIDS, or might this be a "vaccine" side effect they're trying to gloss over? Maybe Mayor Pete could be granted special status as a roving health ambassador and we can send him to where it's all happening.
