We got your back, New York!

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk came to Donald Trump with the plan to throttle Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield satellite internet network, sources have told the Telegraph.
The tech billionaire made the proposal during the US President’s row with Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries.
‘The reality is that they were both in it,’ a senior source said of Musk’s and Trump’s involvement.
But after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe.
The SpaceX boss then proceeded to tweet, blaming the US administration, and ultimately, President Trump for authorising the slowdown.
‘He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it,’ the source said.

Another young female protester receiving brutal treatment for heckling at the Reform conference.
Look at the guy take a swipe at her with his crutch.
Nigel Farage actually encouraged this from the stage, he’s completely unfit for public office.
Given the downward trend the greens are on right now. Polanski would be stupid not to take the risk here and stand.
Though the consequences of losing are bad, the consequences of not standing to the greens momentum isn’t
exactly rosey either.
NEW: Zack Polanski will be out canvassing in Starmer’s constituency tonight. He hasn’t rule out standing in the seat.
A senior Green Party source said: “You’d expect on the day that a highly significant by elex has been announced, when a former PM unexpectedly resigned, that the Leader of our Party would be out in the constituency speaking to voters.”
Does feel like Scottish Labour is happy to prioritise being unionist over anything else.
Repeating the same mistakes over and over again.
EXCL: Scottish Labour leadership candidate Joe Fagan says there are no circumstances in which he will back indyref2.
He will also not support a cross-party agreement to agree a path for a second referendum.

This won’t save any money because those who lose their PIP or UC health element will end up requiring more support from health services. It’s simply shifting the cost elsewhere. Don’t fall for their gimmicks or vilification of the disabled.

PIP kept the heating on at my parents' house last year when my mum got diagnosed with cancer for the second time.
These monsters are not on your side.
The party has not once gained vote share or members in the Scottish Parliament, mind you.
NEW: A Scottish Labour MP has claimed his party must not be “overly dramatic” after their fifth straight Holyrood election defeat to the SNP.
Michael Shanks aimed the dig at leadership contender Monica Lennon.

The idea that this guy can lead his party to two consecutive defeats in Holyrood elections - most recently just in May, and then become Scottish Secretary through an appointment to the lords is just absolutely wild.
So could Anas Sarwar be installed as Scots Secretary by New Year? dailymail.com/news/article-1…
