In a dramatic 4–2 vote, the community advisory committee delivered a decisive "no" to the joint bid from SL Green, Caesars Entertainment, and Jay-Z's Roc Nation. The decision, which took place in a conference room just around the corner from the proposed site at 1515 Broadway, effectively kills the project before it could even be considered by the state's Gaming Commission.

After six years of anticipation, Cardi B has finally revealed the features for her sophomore album—and let’s just say, she didn’t come to play. The Bronx superstar is making a statement with a bold and unexpected lineup that pulls in legends, pop stars, R&B heavyweights, and rap favorites. From Janet Jackson to Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi’s upcoming project looks less like a standard rap album and more like a cultural event.

This fall, Queens officially became home to the nation’s very first HBCU Preparatory High School — a school designed from the ground up to create a direct pipeline between Black high school students and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The launch is in partnership with Delaware State University (DSU), a powerhouse HBCU with deep roots and a proud legacy of producing leaders in education, po

When you catch someone deleting text messages, you know something shady is going on. Well, the Department of Justice just pulled that same move on a national scale. They erased an entire government study that exposed one of America’s dirtiest little secrets: domestic terrorism is mostly coming from the right wing. This wasn’t some conspiracy blog or opinion piece—it was a peer-reviewed study by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), which is literally part of the DOJ its

Hollywood is on the edge of a massive transformation — and Reese Witherspoon is making sure women aren’t left behind. In a recent interview with Glamour, the Oscar-winning actress and producer declared: “It’s so, so important that women are involved in AI because it will be the future of filmmaking.” This wasn’t just a throwaway line.

Over the past few weeks, social media has been buzzing with claims that Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has been “removed” — from office, from her committee seat, or even from her own district. Depending on where you looked, the story was told with a mix of outrage, confusion, and speculation. But when you look closely, the truth is far more nuanced.

When the fridge is empty, bills are stacked high, and the stress of “how am I going to feed my family?” keeps you up at night — food banks become more than just a place to pick up groceries. They’re lifelines. They’re proof that community care still exists in a world that often feels cold. And let’s keep it real: with rising prices and wages not always keeping up, more North Texans — from Dallas to Denton, Fort Worth to Frisco — are leaning on food banks than ever before.

Starting November 1, 2025, New Mexico will officially make history as the first U.S. state to provide free universal child care to all families—no income restrictions, no copays, no complicated hoops to jump through.

Because Trey Reed’s name deserves mo

Let’s talk about it—because if you’ve been to the grocery store lately, you already know your wallet has been side-eyeing you. Beef prices have been skyrocketing, and it feels like every trip to the meat aisle is another reminder that inflation is still doing its thing. But what’s really behind the rising cost of beef, and what does this mean for families, small businesses, and even your favorite fast-food runs? Let’s dig in.

Discord was never supposed to be this. When it launched in 2015, it was marketed as a fun chat app for gamers — a place to talk strategy during “Call of Duty” raids, share anime memes, and build friendships in digital spaces. Fast-forward to 2025, and it’s at the center of one of the most disturbing conversations of our time: its repeated connection to mass shootings. What started as whispers — “the shooter had a Discord server” — has now become a pattern impossible to ig
