The hackers who upended the U.S. presidential election had ambitions well beyond Hillary Clinton's campaign, targeting the emails of Ukrainian officers, Russian opposition figures, U.S. defense contractors and thousands of others of interest to the Kremlin, according to a previously unpublished digital hit list obtained by The Associated Press. The list provides the most detailed forensic evidence yet of the close alignment between the hackers and the Russian government, exposing an operation that stretched back years and tried to break into the inboxes of 4,700 Gmail users across the globe -- from the pope's representative in Kiev to the punk band Pussy Riot in Moscow.

Federal prosecutors brought terrorism charges Wednesday against the Uzbek immigrant accused in the truck rampage that left eight people dead, saying he carried out the attack in response to the Islamic State group's online calls to action. Authorities said the driver of the rented Home Depot truck, 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov, watched ISIS videos on his cellphone and picked Halloween for the attack on a bike lane in lower Manhattan because he knew more people would be out on the streets.
President Donald Trump is urging swift repeal of an immigration program that brought the New York truck attack suspect to America. Trump insists Congress must end the visa lottery program under which Uzbek immigrant Sayfullo Saipov entered the country, and he has ordered still tighter scrutiny of immigrants already subject to what he calls "extreme vetting."
"At several events at this year's New Yorker Festival, a sense of wooziness predominated among audience members, who appeared to be grasping for a wisp of hope that the nightmare known as President Trump would soon be over. Alas, experts who graced the stages at three separate events had a common message: Expect Trump to serve out his first term, and perhaps even his second.

It is always satisfying to prove your doubters wrong and, in the case of Jeremy Corbyn , the left-wing leader of Britain's opposition Labour Party, there were an awful lot of them.

The London Underground station where an improvised device exploded on a train reopened early Saturday as a huge manhunt for those responsible for the terrorist attack entered its second day. The device went off while the train was stopped at Parsons Green station in southwest London during the Friday morning rush hour, injuring at least 29 people.
Theresa May has raised concerns with Donald Trump over his claim the perpetrators of the Parsons Green Tube bombing had been "in the sights" of Scotland Yard.

After Mayor Bill de Blasio swept up more than 70 percent of the vote in a Democratic primary many anticipated he would win - bringing him one step closer to re-election - he said he had made progress in his first term but would not "accept the status quo" and keep pressing for change. At around 9:15 p.m., WNYC reported that de Blasio won 74.4 percent of the vote, with 317,091 votes, with 99 percent of precincts reporting.
Mayor de Blasio's "Advisory Commission on City Art, Monuments and Markers" is the most terrifying news out of City Hall since the cornerstone was laid in 1803. Goodbye, hundreds of years of history, tradition and respect for our shared past.

In an important act of civic mercy, masses of New Yorkers who more than a decade ago engaged in nonviolent misbehavior such as drinking alcohol in public, being in a park after dark or biking on the sidewalk - and have committed no crimes since - have just had those warrants shredded. The question henceforth is whether the civil penalties that have replaced criminal ones for such conduct will be enforced with sufficient zeal to stop lower-level disorder from flooding the city again.

Following a tense standoff between Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito over whether undocumented immigrants convicted of serious crimes should receive taxpayer-funded legal services, the pair announced Monday that private donors would provide funding for those services instead. In June, Mark-Viverito inserted language into the city budget mandating that the $26 million plan to offer legal services to undocumented immigrants facing deportation include individuals convicted of one of 170 crimes that the city exempts from its "sanctuary city" protections.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has a piece in the NY Times today, in which you would have though that someone at the New York City based paper would have said "hey, wait a minute, he's slurring us as New Yorkers!" as Rahm punches NYC and Governor Cuomo in the face On Thursday, in the wake of a subway derailment and an epidemic of train delays, Gov.
