If the cover of the New York Post isn’t this photo with this headline “SACREBLEU IT” then what are we even doing anymore?

"Knicks in 4 — Inshallah,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani says on HOT97 when asked for his prediction ahead of the NBA Finals kicking off tonight.

Chief Patterson said there were 240 calls to the hotel in 2025, a 20% increase compared to last year.

Hundreds of CMPD officers and FBI agents were involved in this morning's operation.

Out in the 4900 block of Reagan Drive where police and the FBI have blocked off the road in front of what appears to a motel. It’s not clear what is happening but some people were seen handcuffed.

CMPD said in an alert it was “federal court authorized law enforcement activity.”

Thanks for reading but ClickSaver is lame.

It’s one thing to compete for scoops. It’s an entirely different thing doing this.

Like it or not, paywalls keep local journalists employed.

I just know I’m gonna see a “support local journalism” ad from y’all at some point too lol

Thank you to @NickCarboniWCNC for having me on to discuss what #NASCAR and we all lost in the sudden passing of Kyle Busch.

Full interview at the link; snippet is in response to how I think the racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway will feel this weekend: https://t.co/Krrx4dYYZ2

Right. I'm looking for a sweep baby ever series!

Do people know “Knicks in six” is not the ideal situation, you can say that if they’re already down games but it hasn’t started yet.

[Tom Johnson @thattomjohnson]

“L-I-R-R” this, “Lurr” that. Everyone is ignoring the real menace: how the MTA uses the closed compound “Railroad” for Metro North and Long Island Rail Road doesn’t.

[bri @bribrisimps]

i’m not kidding if you pronounce the LIRR as the “lurr” in any capacity i need you excommunicated from the state of new york

I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.

Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

4-year-old Jayce Edwards was a “ray of light” to his family — learning his ABCs, numbers and how to tie his shoes.

Then came gunfire.

This week I spoke with his family about who Jayce was, and the life taken too soon.

Ice tea! Which Chinese spot in Charlotte got the homemade ice tea?

[Josh Bergeron @Joshpberg]

For some time, he has claimed he is controlled by that “object,” Brown's mother told the Observer. It started when he got out of prison for armed robbery in 2020. His family noticed a change. He was “standoffish” and talked to himself every so often.

THE REASON THE VIDEO WAS RELEASED IN THE FIRST PLACE IS BECAUSE LOCAL JOURNALISTS SUBMITTED PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS FOR THE VIDEO

Nearly a year after Helene, municipalities across WNC are still waiting for much needed FEMA funding.

FEMA has always been slow. But the Trump admin's attempts to rid the fed gov of waste and fraud has made a slow process even slower, state experts say.
