  • Clinton takes her foot off the gas on Sanders after New York win

    Clinton didn't take any shots at Sanders during her first post-New York rally on Wednesday night, instead delivering her standard stump speech and casting the April 26 primaries in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Maryland as a "great opportunity to start us on the path to the White House.""I can't do this unless you help me," Clinton told the audience.Clinton continued the hands-off approach toward Sanders on Thursday in Connecticut, when she headlined a roundtable on gun v..

    Photo At the scene of a shooting in Midtown Manhattan in 2015. The city’s murder rate fluctuates in the short term, but is far below what it was a few decades ago. Credit Spencer Platt/Getty Images Ted Cruz’s campaign was wrong last week in saying that New York City murders were up 10 percent. But it wasn’t the first time, and surely won’t be the last, that crime statistics for the city and elsewhere are misunderstood and misrepresented.In the first few months of 2015, ..

  • How Hillary Clinton Became a Hawk

    How Hillary Clinton Became a Hawk
    Some reporters have cast doubt on the veracity of this story, which she repeated in the fall of 2015 over breakfast with voters in New Hampshire: certainly, there’s no concrete evidence that it happened, and Bill gave a different account of it in 2008, substituting the Army for the Marines.

    The polling difficulties in New York City started early on Tuesday. Morning voters showed up to their assigned sites only to find no workers there to help. Others waited hours for their locations to open up. Reports of technical issues and inept staffers came in steadily throughout the day. And, most damningly, tens of thousands of Brooklynites learned they’d simply been purged from the voter rolls altogether.And that was just the primary. Latest from Politics ..
