“I wouldn’t say it’s been traumatic on us, but it’s been disappointing to see that he wouldn’t receive the support of some elected officials who know his abilities so well,” she told the Times Union on Monday morning. “But that’s politics, to a large extent.” Cuomo Cole said the governor has the support of his family, one of the most powerful political families in New York history. Their late father, Mario Cuomo, was the 52nd governor of New York for three terms in the 1980s and early 1990s....

A new poll conducted by Slingshot Strategies last week shows that a majority of Democratic voters would still support with Cuomo if he ran for a third term. The poll of 600 likely New York state voters found that 26 percent of Democrats said they would vote for Cuomo in the primaries. Nine percent said they would vote for James and eight percent said they would vote for Ocasio-Cortez. Another 19 percent said they were unsure who they would vote for....

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has faced criticism over the new legislation that prevents discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity for younger children in schools across the state. LGBTQ advocates say the law is meant to silence members of the community while supporters of it argue that it prevents children from being taught about sexuality at too young of an age. Giuliani, who is the son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, defended the law during an appearance on Newsmax....

Less than a day after Luck’s shocking retirement, Indianapolis agreed to let him keep the $24.8 million he was slotted to make this season rather than taking it back, ESPN reported, citing unidentified league sources.

Walmart customers may have already seen the machines cleaning floors or stocking shelves, as the company has been testing automated machines in stores since 2017. The retail giant hopes to add thousands more of the robots to stores by February. Democratic presidential candidate Yang thinks that this is a mistake, and part of an overall trend that could end up causing serious damage to the U.S. labor force. “We are in the midst of the greatest winner-take-all economy in world history,” said Yang to Fox....

The promise elicited cheers, but also boos and chants of “defund the police,” as Yang waded into one of the most contentious issues in city politics. To his credit, Yang did not back down: “I know that there are people that are very passionate about this, but the fact is when someone gets stabbed, you need the police to follow up. That person should not be on the streets.”...

Yang, an entrepreneur who rose to national fame through his ultimately unsuccessful 2020 Democratic presidential bid, formally announced his candidacy to be New York City’s next mayor in January. Now, according to an independent poll by Fontas Advisors and Core Decision Analytics, he appears to be the clear front-runner among Democratic candidates. The survey found that Yang was backed by 28 percent of likely New York City voters, while Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams came in second, with the backing of 17 percent of respondents....

The 2020 Democratic hopeful who often advocates for the national legalization of marijuana joked Tuesday on Twitter it “Must be the weed :)” after hitting 4 percent in the most recent Emerson Polling data – which was released coincidentally on the 20th day of the month. Yang, who typically pulls in between 1 and 2 percent in primary polls conducted in other states, rose to 6th place behind frequent frontrunners including Vermont Independent Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden....

Yang, a current New York City mayoral candidate, has recently drawn fire for saying in an interview that the Times Square stop is his favorite NYC subway station. This has added fuel to mayoral opponents’ arguments that Yang is like a tourist to NYC and not a “real New Yorker.” “Yesterday, A Daily News cartoon was published that depicted me – or a racialized caricature clearly intended to be me – as a tourist in Times Square…I’ve seen images like this before,” Yang wrote....

Brendan Rodgers's side has had its moments of 'same old' inconsistency this season and it would still be a huge surprise if it actually lifted the trophy come May. But the astonishing viciousness with which Liverpool dismantled Arsenal at Anfield — arguably the best performance of any English team in 2013-14 — showed us yet more glimpses of a seriously excellent team. Right from the start, Liverpool was at 100 percent, pressing and battling, committing and doubling up....

The cat stole the spotlight at MetLife Stadium during the second quarter of the Cowboy’s Monday night road game against the New York Giants. In an apparent state of bewilderment over its sudden stardom, the confused feline ran around the field and into the end zone before finally escaping attention by running into a tunnel and under the bleachers. Before the cat’s arrival, the Giants were winning 9-3, but after the incident, the Cowboys went on to win the game 37-18....

The Pentagon announced a proposed 2021 budget of $15.4 billion for the Space Force on Monday. Coulter took exception to the announcement, bemoaning that the money wasn’t being used for the wall while jokingly suggesting that the U.S. could colonize another planet as an alternative to the wall. “Instead of building a wall to protect this country, at least maybe we’ll be able to go settle a new planet,” Coulter tweeted....

“Yes, why WON’T authorities charge the employers using all the illegal alien workers?” Coulter wrote on Twitter, sharing an op-ed from The Washington Post calling out Trump’s double standard of allegedly employing undocumented migrants while his administration raids other companies and deports working immigrants without legal status. “ANSWER: BOTH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS SUCK UP TO EMPLOYERS FOR THEIR CAMPAIGN DONATIONS,” Coulter answered her own question. Coulter previously wrote a book entitled In Trump We Trust back in 2016, but has since soured on the president....
