Washington is under a statewide emergency as catastrophic flooding hits towns, highways, and river communities across the region. A powerful atmospheric river is dumping relentless rain, triggering landslides, washing out roads, and forcing 100,000 residents to prepare for possible evacuation.   

New York City’s Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has drawn over 50,000 job applications within days of his historic landslide victory. The city’s official transition site Transition2025.com temporarily crashed as thousands of New Yorkers from policy experts to entry-level dreamers, rushed to apply. Calling it “a movement built by New Yorkers,” Mamdani said the overwhelming response reflects public trust and a hunger for genuine change. WATCH
