The final public poll suggests the potential for an upset in Tuesday’s New York Democratic mayoral primary — an outcome that would be dramatic but that also might end up resolving nothing. The Emerson College/WPIX/The Hill survey shows former Gov. Andrew Cuomo leading state Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani 36% to 34% in the initial first-choice count, with Mamdani eventually overtaking Cuomo after multiple rounds of ranked choice tabulation and winning the final tally 52% to 48%.But a few caveats are in order. First, public polls in the campaign have been sparse. Only Emerson and Marist University have been regularly conducting them.…

CNN  —  For 2½ hours in February 2024, Gracie Ladd and her husband sat in heavy silence as they drove from their home in southern Wisconsin to Chicago. Their spirits were as cold and gray as the Midwestern winter passing by the car windows; Ladd was 20 weeks pregnant and had recently learned that a severe fetal condition made the developing baby “incompatible with life.” Staying pregnant could put her own health at risk, too. But abortion wasn’t an option in Wisconsin, where a 175-year-old state law had effectively banned the procedure at the time. That law has since been…

The prosecutor who tried Karen Read said Monday he was “disappointed” that she was acquitted and by the lack of justice for the man she was accused of killing.Special prosecutor Hank Brennan, whom the Norfolk County, Massachusetts, district attorney appointed after Read’s first trial ended with a hung jury, said he had been given “full discretion to independently assess the case and follow the evidence no matter where it led.”“After an independent and thorough review of all the evidence I concluded that the evidence led to one person, and only one person,” Brennan said in a text message to NBC…

Google introduced its AI mode, a Q&A-style search tool, to users in India today. The company said that this tool is still in the experimental stage and users will need to opt in to it through Search Labs. Once a user has opted in, they can ask queries in English. Google didn’t specify whether it plans to support local languages or when that might be available. Users can search for answers to complex, multi-part queries such as “My kids are 4 and 7 and have lots of energy. Suggest creative ways to get them active and moving indoors, especially on…

Federal prosecutors in New York are expected to rest their case Tuesday against Sean “Diddy” Combs, while the music mogul’s defense team intends to offer no witnesses of its own, bringing the sprawling racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking trial to an end sooner than expected.That Combs’ defense team would decide to call no one was unexpected but far from unusual, legal experts say.“It’s more likely than not at a trial that the defense is not going to call any witnesses,” said Mitchell Epner, a former federal prosecutor for the District of New Jersey who now practices criminal defense in New…

PORTO, Portugal (AP) — On Porto’s steep streets, several thousands of people celebrated the summer in the way the city has been doing it for decades and centuries: by bonking friends and strangers alike with toy hammers and reveling in the streets all night. A Christian holiday with pagan roots, the eve of the feast of St. John the Baptist — Porto’s patron saint — is celebrated with fireworks, balloons and lots of grilled sardines. An older St. John’s Eve ritual in Portugal’s second-biggest city involved buying leek flowers believed to bring good fortune and inviting strangers to sniff the…
