10 New York Basilicas, Cathedrals, And Shrines Worth A Special Road Trip In 2026

Try this: one basilica near Buffalo holds roughly 2,000 to 2,500 carved and painted angels, placed so one appears in nearly every sight line. That’s a fair answer, but it gets better. When that copper dome was finished in the 1920s, it ranked second in size only to the...

Hochul under pressure from DSA to ‘tax the rich’ immediately after winning second term

Socialists are moving immediately to squeeze Gov. Kathy Hochul on taxes — even as political insiders argue her re-election on Tuesday was owed more to anti-Trump backlash than to a surging left-wing in the Empire State. The Democratic Socialists of America’s New York City chapter — which saw a record-number of its members win election to the state Legislature — will turn up the heat on Hochul over hiking taxes on the wealthy and other issues, including expanding free childcare and raising the minimum wage. “I’m hopeful that Hochul has seen the energy, the excitement that can come from the masses of people who want and deserve a better government, and she takes those lessons and brings them to Albany, and is braver than she has been in past years in terms of standing up for working class New Yorkers,” NYC-DSA co-chair Grace Mauser told The City Reporter on Wednesday. Hochul won a second full term Tuesday, defeating Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman with around 60% of the vote to his about 40%. Tamara Beckwith/NY Post Jasmine Gripper, co-executive director of the lefty Working Families Party, echoed the NYC-DSA’s demands, telling the outlet it would take the fight to

Democrats, DSA have to get along for blue wave to matter | Opinion

NEW YORK CITY — Crystal chandeliers. Marble columns. As much security as the airport. I walked into the New York Democrats' election night watch party at the Hilton in midtown, knowing I could only be there for a few minutes. With multiple parties happening across the city on Nov. 3, I would have had to clone myself to be everywhere I needed to be to watch as Democrats ushered in their blue wave . Would I go to the smaller Democratic Socialists of America's gathering or stay to watch as the establishment Democrats toasted success? I chose to check in on the DSA. Election night was more than a clear indication that voters are tired of MAGA. It was more than a clear message that Democrats won over voters . It was also a reminder that Democrats need to figure out how to work together. Progressives and moderates alike. Nothing made that clearer than their New York watch parties. El-Sayed asked Michigan voters to reject MAGA. They listened | Opinion One election night, two very different Democratic victory parties I started at the Manhattan hotel room where Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James would make their victory
