No top White House officials will fly down to Brazil later this month for the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP30) with President Donald Trump instead preferring to put U.S. domestic energy and job growth first.

The departure meant U.S. taxpayer dollars stopped going to the U.N.-sanctioned body, much to the despair of climate doomers everywhere. Trump had not been expected to attend a leaders’ summit ahead of the annual U.N. climate conference in...

(JTA) — The excitement in the air is palpable as our neighborhood turns out for Zohran Mamdani. In many ways, we know him well: he’s been our assemblyman for the last four years.

He’s shown up for my Jewish community in profoundly meaningful ways On Kol Nidrei, the evening service that begins Yom Kippur, I found myself at synagogue with Zohran Mamdani. Lab/Shul in Manhattan isn’t your typical synagogue; it’s a laboratory for belonging, where ancient liturgy meets radical inclusion. The service was led by my rabbi, Amichai Lau-Lavie — an Israeli who knows how to fill the room with both grief and hope. Mamdani sat in the front row, with Rep. Jerry Nadler and Comptroller Brad Lander. As Lau-Lavie welcomed them to the space, Nadler and Lander were greeted with respectful applause....

Nothing says 'socialism' like people fleeing from it.This is as true in New York, Illinois, and California as it was in the U.S.S.R., Venezuela, and Cuba.But the prospect of young and dogmatic socialist Zohran Mamdani becoming mayor of New York City has taken the phenomenon to a new level.Mamdani's lead in the polls has narrowed, but he still leads by six points.
