The Democratic Party's Mamdani moment: From the Politics Desk
A young progressive named Zohran Mamdani just pulled off a surprising political upset, overtaking establishment heavyweight Andrew Cuomo in the New York City mayoral race. This isn’t just about one election—it’s a sign that the Democratic Party is facing a real internal shift, with younger, more left-leaning candidates challenging the old guard.
Editor’s Note: If you’ve been watching the Democratic Party’s internal battles between progressives and moderates, this is another big moment. Mamdani’s win suggests that the party’s base—or at least a vocal part of it—wants bolder, more radical change, even in a place like New York. It could mean more primary challenges, more policy fights, and a reshaping of what the party stands for in the next few years.

NeutralU.S News
The US and China are back at the negotiating table for trade talks, with US Treasury officials attending discussions in Sweden. Meanwhile, UK bakery chain Greggs is brushing off a recent profit dip, insisting the country hasn’t hit "peak Greggs" yet—blaming weaker sales on hot weather dampening demand for their iconic sausage rolls and other pastries.
Editor’s Note: Trade tensions between the US and China are still a big deal, and these talks could signal whether things are thawing or just more of the same.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another legal case—it’s a spotlight on systemic issues in jails, especially how they handle vulnerable inmates.
