45+ min ago (671+ words) By MICHAEL R. SISAK McGreevey and James Solomon are the last candidates standing in a race for mayor of Jersey City, a community across the Hudson River from Manhattan that is sometimes referred to as New York City's sixth borough. Like last month's elections in New York and elsewhere, the race has focused heavily on affordability, particularly the high cost of housing. The contest advanced to a runoff after no candidate tallied more than 50% of the vote in the Nov. 4 general election, when seven people were on the ballot. Solomon, a city council member since 2017, finished first. McGreevey placed second. Both are Democrats, though the race is nonpartisan. Polls close at 8 p.m. He launched his mayoral campaign in 2023 with a social media video titled: "Second chances are central to who I am." "I want Jersey City to be Jersey City," McGreevey said…...

1+ hour, 28+ min ago (237+ words) Sean Barbabella said in a statement that Trump's physical exam included "advanced imaging" that is "standard for an executive physical" in Trump's age group. Barbabella concluded that the cardiovascular and abdominal imaging was "perfectly normal." "The purpose of this imaging is preventative: to identify issues early, confirm overall health, and ensure he maintains long-term vitality and function," the doctor wrote. The White House released Barbabella's memo after Trump on Sunday said he would release the results of the scan. He and the White House have said the scan was "part of his routine physical examination" but had declined until Monday to detail why Trump had an MRI during his physical in October at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center or on what part of his body. "I think that's quite a bit of detail," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt…...

2+ hour, 19+ min ago (955+ words) Syracuse, N.Y. " A 3-9 record and a season-ending, eight-game losing streak paints a good picture about how bad a team is. However, many factors led to Syracuse winning seven fewer games than it did in 2024. The blame for Syracuse's season cannot be placed on any one player, coach or position group. Syracuse's issues began in last winter's transfer portal and spilled out onto the field. After a deep dive into Pro Football Focus, here were a few takeaways from the 2025 Syracuse football team. The obvious issue to point to is the season-ending Achilles injury to quarterback Steve Angeli. He finished as Syracuse's second-highest graded player behind punter Jack Stonehouse, according to Pro Football Focus. In just four games, Angeli threw for 1,317 yards and 10 touchdowns. Backups Rickie Collins and Joe Filardi combined for just 1,203 yards and seven touchdowns. PFF graded Filardi, a walk-on…...
