The Senate is deliberately slow-walking Rep. Elise Stefanik’s nomination to be ambassador to the UN, with several Republicans blaming the delay in confirming her on the White House’s concern over their party’s historically slim majority in the House. https://t.co/3p0uXO9Jpt

In its heyday, The Star-Ledger had the best damn sports section in the country. As we publish our final print edition today, I had the privilege of talking to many of the talented writers who made it special and putting together this remembrance. (1/4) https://t.co/hyIbpbCElU

Planning a visit to the Zoo to see the new giant pandas? Don't miss out on another recent arrival: Vostok, a 2-year-old male Amur tiger! Vostok arrived shortly after Qing Bao and Bao Li and is making a big splash at the Great Cats exhibit.

According to keepers, Vostok is a big fan of swimming and can often be seen paddling in his pool, even in the cold ❄️ 🐯 Currently, Vostok lives alone, but keepers hope to breed him with a female Amur tiger who is expected to arrive at the Zoo later this year. Visit https://t.co/fDGiNyMjFh to learn more about Vostok and his species!

A suburban brewery garnered headlines this year for selling cicada-infused Jeppson's Malört. The liqueur was promoted as a more disgusting version of the already reviled liqueur. But the drink was also illegal. Story from @Suntimes via @AppleNews https://t.co/hMYe1skyVH

New - I just spoke to Donald Trump Jr who tells @ABC News he has spoken to his father who remains at the hospital. Don Jr. said his father is “in good spirits” as he remains under observation adding that his father is “never gonna stop”.
