First thing that struck me is that's a common place to get bruising from IV needles in your hand during a hospital visit, no? My father and father-in-law often had bruising on their hands.

‘MONTAUK MENACE’: Heath Freeman, head of Alden Global Capital, lives in a swanky mansion in the ritzy Hamptons shore town of Montauk. Meanwhile some of our members earn so little they qualify for low-income housing…..

There is something really bizarre that the very man who gave Jeffrey Epstein the sweetheart deal is the very same guy going to speak with Ghislaine Maxwell. It's just disturbing.

Alden hasn't paid for enough editors at the Daily News for a while now, so we're used to this.

The way in which the company tried to pretend we haven't been bargaining for THREE YEARS due to their extreme positions, as well as how they're pay increase fails to take into account the PAY CUTS we suffered during the pandemic, says a lot.

A local newspaper is a rare thing. It's the city's institutional memory, the chronicle of a place and its people, of problems to be addressed, of public promises kept or broken. New York needs the Daily News, and the Daily News needs the support of New Yorkers.

I'm hoping the series returns to those roots of having different, visually different filmmakers do the films. I love what the Cruise/McQuarrie partnership brought to the franchise, but I like what they were doing in the beginning.

We've been without a contract, a newsroom, or even an all-staff meeting for 3 years. No raises in at least 5. Our editors never come to the bargaining table — our hedge fund owners only send their lawyers. So last night we went looking for Exec. Ed. Andrew Julien on the Upper West Side.

Because in the past, there was an expectation that defying courts would come at a cost. Trump doesn't believe he'll face any consequence... and quite honestly, I don't see that he will. If he ignores the judges, who's around to challenge him?

This is what Trump ALWAYS does. He goes out there and throws word bombs to manipulate the narrative, make noise, and sow confusion. Then the media tries to cover all of it, social media erupts in outrage and laughs, and regular folks just tune it all out.
