This powerful photo of a six month pregnant woman being rescued from the debris at the Brooklyn building collapse has been shared across a lot of social media accounts. Many left out the photo credit. It goes to freelance photographer Ryan Murphy via @AP. https://t.co/ha2729uo57

@melissakchan Amen. Lot of bitter folks out there who are projecting their bitterness. And wishing they had broken these stories.

My take on current events.

"Mr. Huang’s unraveling is not a technology story. It is a timeless tale of masculine hubris, of a man undone by reckless overconfidence. Some things never change."

It's a new chapter for "The Daily," and we're thrilled to announce the leaders who will chart it.

Paige Cowett has been promoted to editor in chief, and Nazanin Rafsanjani is joining as managing editor.

A truly stunning run of NYT scoops, involving a huge cast from our Biz and White House teams, led to Jensen Huang's resignation.

Per several members: Some of the House Democrats who missed the Hegseth impeachment vote were on their way back from an Elect Democratic Women event at a venue about 1.5 miles down Pennsylvania Ave but got caught in a bumper-to-bumper traffic jam on Independence Ave. (the road on the House side of the Capitol complex).

Some members found other ways to get back to the Capitol because their cars were effectively stopped on the road. One got out and walked. Another got dropped off on the Senate side to avoid the traffic.

I’ve not found this to be a big worry for home buyers or residents over the past few years since I moved to BK Heights and I’m close to the proposed construction zone. I think a big reason why is 1. It’s been delayed over and over and 2. Once it starts it’s something we can all live with.
All to say it doesn’t feel like a life-altering event.

Democrats are currently at 55.8% of the House popular vote, per @CookPolitical.

That's the highest for any party since 1974.

Republicans haven't gotten that much of the House popular vote since at least World War II.

You can try!

@mikiebarb Wait I can just request Daily episodes here?

[Jeff Stein @SpyTalker]

Amazing: NYT published a Jensen Huang-Alice Huang-Megaspeed-Nvidia-China story 13 months ago—and no one evidently took notice.

On ‘60 Minutes,’ Ross Douthat prodded President Trump into giving unusually thoughtful answers on everything from his midterms blunders to UFOs to what he’d do to get into Heaven. Here are the six most stunning moments from Trump’s interview. https://t.co/EDgh7ue7nj

On election night, @JDVance’s phone buzzed.

A confidant texted with uncomfortable advice: perhaps he should consider sitting out 2028.

Some allies now tell the VP they no longer believe any Republican can win a presidential election in two years.

James Talarico’s early votes were (by themselves) higher than Ken Paxton’s total votes.

The Texas Senate race was essentially won before Election Day. 🤯

@DylanByers @nytimes One is from reporters, the other from our TV critic. They work on different desks and have different mandates!

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

People looked at these kinds of maps in 2024, which showed GOP swings everywhere, and decided the country was on a new MAGA trajectory. Trump hadn’t even cracked 50% of the vote. He won by 1.5%. Democrats just won the midterms by 13%, the biggest margin in at least 40 years.
