https://ift.tt/XkCIcsW

NEW YORK CITY - New York City’s primary night produced clear political winners and losers as Mayor Zohran Mamdani ’s slate of socialist candidates swept establishment-backed Democrats. Mamdani, sworn into office in January of this year, flexed his political might in the city after three congressional candidates that he endorsed in the primary, Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier, were all victorious on Tuesday night, and are expected to cruise to victory against their Republican opponents in November. All three candidates ran on platforms broadly aligned with Mamdani’s socialist economic agenda, anti-Israel posture and opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while facing candidates backed by the establishment wing of the party. FAR-LEFT SURGE: MAMDANI-BACKED CANDIDATES OUST DEM ESTABLISHMENT INCUMBENTS "I think it was an incredible night," Mamdani said about the results before pointing to his own primary victory that shook the political landsca...

https://ift.tt/tDAzFCR

President Donald Trump announced a pair of executive orders investing in quantum computing Monday, moving forward an unprecedented partnership between government and industry while simultaneously moving to secure the U.S. from cryptographic threats. The first executive order, titled "Ushering In The Next Frontier Of Quantum Innovation," outlined a strategy to update the National Quantum Strategy by "promoting commercialization and deployment of" quantum technologies and partnering with industry leaders. To drive that point, Trump signed the order in the Oval Office alongside executives from technology companies with vested quantum interests including IBM and Google parent company Alphabet. Furthermore, the directive mandates administration officials from the Department of Energy (DOE), Department of War, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) ...

Chicago mayor ridiculed for touting trans violence 'state of emergency' amid murder-plagued Juneteenth weekend
https://ift.tt/94EiDyL

Chicago's mayor has become the subject of ridicule after promoting his transgender violence state of emergency amid a deadly Juneteenth weekend where dozens of people in his city were shot and six were killed. "Since declaring a Transfemicide State of Emergency, our administration has strengthened the City’s capacity to support LGBTQ+ Chicagoans," a Sunday X post from Mayor Brandon Johnson said. "This framework builds on that work by centering the voices and lived experiences of trans Chicagoans to chart a path toward a safer, more connected city." "Transfemicide" is defined as the "targeted killing of a transgender woman motivated by transphobic and misogynistic hatred." Critics were quick to point out that Johnson appears focused on promoting on Juneteenth weekend the fight against an obscure transgender violence category rather than the killing of black Chicagoans.
