JUST IN: The Enhanced Games are set to debut this weekend in Las Vegas, with athletes allowed to use steroids, testosterone, HGH, & other banned substances.

Jeff Bezos on CNBC: "If people want me to pay more billions, then let's have that debate, but don't pretend that that's gonna solve the problem. You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens.... Airbnb isn't causing high rents. What's really causing high rent is government intervention."

The first 8,000 Meta layoffs hit Wednesday. What's happening to the people still employed and the anxiety of not knowing if you’re next is insane. SF Standard published an interview with an anonymous Meta employee ahead of the cuts. They used a voice actor. Meta started keystroke-logging staff. Inside the company right now: Internal leaderboards rank employees by how many AI tokens they burn. By minutes spent in the chatbot. Workers are openly admitting they ask the bot inane questions to pad their numbers, because being on the wrong end of the leaderboard is a risk signal. HR told the all-hands AI usage won't factor into layoffs. The leaderboard exists anyway. AI notes are auto-on in every video meeting. People manually disable them so they can talk candidly about who might be next. How you find out you're laid off: 7am email to your personal inbox. By the time you read it, your work accounts are already dead. So one Meta engineer wrote a script that scrapes internal profiles to see whose status flipped to deactivated. This employee runs a personal spreadsheet on top of it to track coworkers. An internal post suggested teams who successfully build their own AI replacement should get 5 years of comp and then be let go as a reward for replacing themselves. It got heavy upvotes. Zuckerberg's all-hands message, paraphrased: AI is moving fast, nobody knows what's coming, leadership is doing their best. This is the Hidden Layoff in operation. The headline number is 8,000. A whole different story is what's being done to those still employed. Surveilled. Ranked by AI usage. Asked to train their replacement. Told to suck it up. Employee's words: "Even if we haven't lost our jobs to AI yet, we're being commoditized in advance." We reported on the 6,000 additional new roles they cancelled earlier this week, along with the additional 8,000 layoffs planned later in 2026. That’s 22,000 roles either cancelled or cut for 2026. Now we have insight into how they’re deciding who comes next.

Access to affordable, fresh food should not be a luxury determined by zip code; it should be a right. That is why I am grateful to Mayor Mamdani and the NYCEDC for their work to open a public grocery store in Hunts Point and strengthen food access across the South Bronx.

In the richest city in the richest country in the history of the world, nobody should be going hungry. That's why we're opening five city-owned grocery stores, one in each borough, starting with The Bronx. Lower Prices. Good food. Publicly owned. Hunts Point next year. Every borough by 2029.

One tick bite made this man allergic to red meat. Now over 450,000 Americans are allergic to beef & dairy and the number is rising. What’s is going on?
