NY Gov. Hochul: Benjamin Netanyahu 'not telling the truth' about Zohran Mamdani (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gov. Kathy Hochul said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu damaged his credibility when he accused New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of sympathizing with Hamas terrorists.

Read excerpt
Seven cooling towers in the South Bronx have tested positive for live Legionella bacteria, city officials said Wednesday as they continue to investigate a Legionnaires' disease cluster that has killed two people. The seven are among 10 sites where previous PCR tests indicated the presence of Legionella — but the earlier tests can’t distinguish between live and dead bacteria. Only live bacteria can cause the disease. Culture tests for live bacteria at the remaining three towers, including at Yank
