Former Governor Andrew Cuomo blasted his rival Zohran Mamdani’s candidacy in the race for mayor of New York City as “abhorrent” and the competition as a “battle for the soul” of the Democratic party.

“This is a civil war within the Democratic party where the extreme left is pulling the Democratic party and the moderates are afraid,” Cuomo said Thursday in an interview with Bloomberg TV. “The Democratic Party is not anti-business, it’s not anti-police. That’s not who we are.”

Cuomo, 67, is running as an independent and is polling in second place behind Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, in a four-way race that also includes Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams.

NATO allies are struggling to coordinate a response to Russian airspace violations, with partners in the defense alliance openly contradicting each other.

On Tuesday evening, Germany warned against the risks of shooting down Russian aircraft, while US President Donald Trump almost simultaneously showed he’s open to a more aggressive stance, backed by Poland and Baltic states. On Monday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk threatened to shoot down aerial threats and stated there is “no room for discussion” about the policy.

The back and forth reveals worrying divisions within the alliance as Vladimir Putin tests its resolve. A series of incidents in which Russian aircraft have crossed into the airspace of NATO allies has sparked concern along its eastern flank and beyond.

NATO Allies at Odds Over How to Respond to Russia’s Threats

President Donald Trump assailed the United Nations and other countries in a grievance-laden speech that saw him accuse the world body of offering nothing but “empty words,” label climate change a “con job” and warn that open borders are destroying them.

Setting aside calls for unity, Trump began his speech to the UN General Assembly by venting his frustration that the UN hadn’t done more to support his diplomatic efforts. He faulted the organization over an escalator that broke down just as First Lady Melania Trump stepped onto it, said his teleprompter was also malfunctioning and ruminated on a two-decade-old grudge over his rejected bid to renovate the UN headquarters.

Oracle Corp. would provide security and help oversee the re-creation of a new US version of TikTok’s algorithm under a deal taking shape to sell the popular Chinese-owned app to a consortium of American investors, a White House official said, addressing a key concern raised by lawmakers in Washington.

The arrangement, outlined by the official on Monday, seeks to ensure that the American buyers control TikTok’s recommendation software in the US following a divestiture by its Chinese parent, ByteDance Ltd. Owners of the US-based TikTok would lease a copy of the algorithm from ByteDance that would then be retrained “from the ground up” with Oracle’s oversight, according to the official.

Data from US users would be stored in a secure cloud managed by Oracle with controls established to keep out foreign adversaries, including China, the official said. Beijing-based ByteDance would not have access to information on TikTok’s US subscribers, nor would it have any control over the algorithm in the US, the official said.

Congress moved closer to an Oct. 1 government shutdown as Senate Democrats and Republicans on Friday each blocked the other party’s rival plans to provide temporary funding.

Democrats are demanding a boost to health care spending while Republicans refuse to go along and back a simple bill to keep the lights on through Nov. 21.

Resolving the conflict is complicated by the Senate’s plan to take a week-long break as the Oct. 1 funding lapse nears. The Senate could return to Washington as late as Sept. 29. The House plans to stay on recess until after Oct. 1.

Congress Lurches Toward Shutdown as Senate Democrats Block GOP Stopgap

With golden carriages, military splendor and an opulent banquet, the UK’s royal gambit paid off this week, as President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Keir Starmer concluded an historic state visit by hailing the trans-Atlantic relationship and — at least publicly — smoothing over their policy differences. 

Appearing before reporters Thursday at the close of Trump’s two-day trip, the US president still seemed dazzled by the previous day’s events at Windsor Castle, calling it a “spectacular honor” and describing King Charles III and Queen Camilla as “amazing people.” 

It was exactly the kind of response UK officials had been hoping for, and Starmer played on the sentiment by repeatedly stressing the “unique bond” between the nations forged through historic ties that made them “first partners.”

Trump Wraps Up UK Visit

A royal carriage ride followed by an F-35 flyover greeted US President Donald Trump at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, during a historic state visit that’s set against the backdrop of heightened global and domestic tensions.

The president and First Lady Melania Trump arrived by Marine One in the early afternoon to be met by King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Princess Catherine with a royal salute. The group was quickly swept into horse-drawn carriages for a procession along a color guard-lined route to the castle.

The gilded Irish Stage Coach that the king and Trump rode in is customarily rolled out for the State Opening of Parliament and was also used for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding, underscoring the scope of the British charm offensive. The first lady, wearing a distinctive wide-brimmed hat in maroon, followed with the queen in a second coach.

Trump Begins UK State Visit

House Republicans unveiled a stopgap spending bill to keep the US government open past an Oct. 1 shutdown deadline, daring Democrats to vote against the measure, which does not contain health-care policies they have demanded.

The short-term legislation would keep agencies operating through Nov. 21 and provide new funding for lawmaker, judicial and administration official security in the wake of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk last week.

It would need the votes of at least seven Senate Democrats to meet a 60-vote threshold to overcome procedural obstacles.
