Former President Donald Trump stuck to campaign messaging Thursday before walking into his business records trial by announcing plans to hold historic rallies in the Bronx and at Madison Square Garden. The last time the Bronx was the center of a Republican presidential campaign was in 1984 when Ronald Reagan won by a landslide. I think we have a good chance of winning here and we’re gonna give it a big plan,” Trump said about New York State. “We’re going to the South Bronx to do a rally.” “We’re going to be doing a rally at Madison Square Garden, we...

Rep. Ritchie Torres is absolutely right about Hamas’ Tuesday rejection of a yet another ceasefire offer: “The hyperbolic and hysterical demonization of Israel — from fair-weather friends — makes Hamas feel emboldened to continue rejecting ceasefires and continue holding the hostages captive,” the Bronx Democrat posted on X.

That the group still feels comfortable holding hostages even as its leaders reject deal after deal after deal is a testament to the...
