Between the Department of Justice’s racist and bogus investigation of Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, President Trump’s apparent abandonment of Ukraine in Russia’s unprovoked war against the sovereign nation, and his increasingly weird rhapsodizing about men’s bodies, scant attention was paid to a recent White House visitor: Convicted rapist Mike Tyson. Last week, the former heavyweight champion was by Trump’s side as the president exited the White House and took questions from the media before the two left for a rally in Syracuse, N. Y. Trump said he had been friends with “Iron Mike,” as the boxer was once known, “for a long time.”At the rally, Trump briefly brought Tyson to the stage. There were the old pals, side by side — the president who was found civilly liable for sexual abuse in 2024, and the former prizefighter who went to prison in 1992 for rape.

Port Authority Bus Terminal transformation comes with growing pains: 'It's frustrating'
MIDTOWN, Manhattan (WABC) -- Construction is underway on the $11 billion, 10-year overhaul of the Port Authority Bus Terminal, a project aimed at transforming what many consider a 75-year-old Midtown eyesore into a modern commuter hub comparable to major area airports. The project is currently in its first phase, which focuses on reconfiguring the ramps that bring buses, primarily NJ Transit vehicles, from the Lincoln Tunnel into the terminal. "In order to, construct the new ramps and the new staging and storage building, we have to reroute the buses, step by step and then deconstruct the ramps, section by section, surgically so that we can maintain operations throughout construction," said Cate Britell, director of tunnels, bridges and terminals. Officials say the work is intended to create a smoother and more efficient commute once completed. In the meantime, evening rush-hour inbound traffic has been affected. Some commuters report delays throughout the day, particularly on the New Jersey side of the river. "It's frustrating... it's making it take a lot longer than usual," commuter Michelle Hill said.
