Governor Cuomo called the incident “frightening” and “inexplicable.” He said the suspect did not make any statements before stabbing people. “Nothing said, just hate. Hate and violence, that’s all it was,” Cuomo said Sunday. Grafton Thomas Has a Criminal History, Including Being Accused of Punching a Police Horse, Reports Say

Congressman John Lewis diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. The man will be remembered as a legend and true patriot. Highly recommend the graphic novel trilogy about him called March.

Totally different era. Just look at the rules. In the 70s you could jam and ride receivers as much as you liked—anywhere on the field-UNTIL THE BALL WAS THROWN! You could blast the QBs ANYWHERE on their body. It was much tougher to throw TD passes then.

Just my personal opinion but I think if you are going to do a top 100 players you have to split it into Eras. Otherwise it’s just silly to do. From the start of football. Every decade would have been a great list. But comparing guys in leather helmets who very few saw play...

Bill Belichick on Peyton Manning: “When you play against Peyton Manning, you play against the quarterback and the game-planner and the offensive play-caller. It’s unusual to see a quarterback like that. That was all Peyton.”

I've gotten DMs from Jews here in New York worried about wearing Jewish symbols or yarmulkes on the street. I can't make such a deeply personal decision for you. All I can say is I've worn my yarmulke on the streets of Hungary and I'm not about to stop on the streets of my home.

Sickened by the anti-Semitic graffiti on walls all over Hampstead and Belsize Park this morning. All decent people across Britain stand with our Jewish community - and we must move heaven and earth to eradicate this racist hatred, which was unimaginable just a few years ago.

Totally unacceptable.We will turn over every stone to find out who is responsible.This alongside attack in New York means ALL of us need to be vigilant for more anti Semitic behaviour&we are ALL responsible for helping stop it.For our Jewish friends- I am sorry this has happened.

Heartbroken and deeply disturbed by the stabbing in Monsey and the many recent anti-Semitic attacks in the NY metro area, especially during this holiday season. We must condemn and confront anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry and hate wherever & whenever we see them.

I want to clarify something I said yesterday. In my 40 years in public life, I have always complied with a lawful order and in my eight years as VP, my office — unlike Donald Trump and Mike Pence — cooperated with legitimate congressional oversight requests.

But I am just not going to pretend that there is any legal basis for Republican subpoenas for my testimony in the impeachment trial. That is the point I was making yesterday and I reiterate: this impeachment is about Trump’s conduct, not mine.

The subpoenas should go to witnesses with testimony to offer to Trump’s shaking down the Ukraine government — they should go to the White House.

And sadly year closes with another reminder that hate is all too real and needs no stoking. By all accounts the stabbing in rabbi’s home in ny is just that - hate on display. It must be condemned AND countered with justice and better respect for diversity - America at her best

Today, Jews were slaughtered because people vilify them for the very same ideas you put out there in this column. This is pathetic: Bret Stephens’ latest column (https://nyti.ms/39kgVpU ), which argues that culture and history drive Jewish achievements, has been edited to remove a reference to a paper widely disputed as advancing a racist hypothesis. We’ve added the following editors’ note to the column.
