NY suburbs’ last GOP strongholds flip as blue wave makes history on Long Island, Westchester

The tidal wave keeps rolling. Long Island’s Republican stronghold Hempstead shockingly flipped blue under the weight of the Democratic blue wave in Tuesday’s midterms — as the northern suburbs of Westchester and Rockland counties appeared to be headed the same way . Voters in the Nassau County county — the most populous in America — bucked Republican rising star John Ferretti from town supervisor, choosing Democrat Joe Scianablo in a stunning three-point victory. That ran against more than a century of Republican leadership — with Scianablo becoming only the second Democrat to run Hempstead in about 120 years. Gov. Kathy Hochul celebrates on stage after winning reelection during an election night party on Tuesday, Nov. 3,. John Angelillo/UPI/Shutterstock Democrats were also on track to take Hempstead’s town clerk job, with Joylette Williams leading incumbent Republican Kate Murray by a few hundred votes Wednesday about a day after polls closed. Those results mirrored the nationwide midterms, which left Republicans reeling after Democrats snatched majorities in both Congress and the Senate while flipping five governorships.

8 exceptional bakeries to get Thanksgiving pies in North Jersey

Getting put on the Thanksgiving pie article is tough, because — contrary to the dinner, which is easy to mess up — I genuinely believe holiday pies are better homemade. For 98% of the time. Buttery crust filled with mom's hand-whisked custard, caramelized apples peeled by grandma; swirl on the whipped cream and you've got a slice of culinary heaven that's impossible to top... ...unless your local pastry shop is run by someone who also happens to bake at that level, in addition to having a cake-centric career, a cookie-inspired Instagram page and a professional dessert education. (Sorry, Grandma. You're not Christina Tosi .) Since I've been assigned this duty, then, I've compiled a few bakeries that can compete with, or — God forbid — surpass, the treats of our most beloved family members. From Bergen, Passaic, Morris and Essex counties, here are eight exceptional bake spots to get Thanksgiving pies in North Jersey. **NOTE: Pre-ordering is recommended, if not required, at most spots. Details included. Black Magic Bakehouse, Ridgewood Black Magic Bakehouse is at the top of the Bergen pastry food chain, as the sourdough destination wows guests with innovative bakes — from Carrot Cake Cinnamon Rolls to Key

$950M in shady Medicaid billing, aides ‘like homeless people’ tied to NJ senior care company: sources

A New Jersey-based medical group has presided over $950 million in shady Medicaid billing for home health care and adult day care services, an investigation by The Post reveals. One operation owned by Honor Health Network, the Broadway Respite and Home Care in Fair Lawn, has billed a staggering $157 million from Medicaid from 89,000 unique patients across a six-year period, according to federal spending data. This despite the entire county only having roughly 20,000 elderly Medicaid recipients, according to data from Georgetown University. Broadway Adult Day Care, at 24-20 Broadway in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, on Oct. 28, 2026. Stefano Giovannini for NY Post Broadway Adult Day Care billed Medicaid $40 million between 2018 and 2024 for 28,000 unique patients, according to data.

Powerhouse LA high school football coach mired in controversy fires back at peeved parents: ‘I will not apologize’

The California high school football coach mired in controversy over potential recruiting violations said bluntly this week he has no intentions of apologizing for the way he’s running his program. Just after Westlake head coach Rick Clausen was called out by several of his own players’ parents in a scathing letter to the school, the 44-year-old told the California Post on Thursday he’s not fretting about the complaints one bit. Westlake head coach Rick Clausen instructs the offense during football practice at Westlake High School, Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2026. USA TODAY Network via Reuters Connect “It’s comical, to be honest with you,” Clausen said. “But with what goes on in today’s society, nothing shocks me in any way, shape or form.” Clausen took over a floundering Westlake program in 2025 and immediately turned the team around, going 10-1 in his first year and 7-3 so far in Year Two. The team was 0-10 in 2024.

Pro-Development Local Biz Owner: Lennar Proposal Just Too Much for Pleasantville

This guest commentary from a local business owner is a response to the Lennar development proposal, which is seeking a rezone from the Pleasantville Village Board. I came to Pleasantville in 1992, 33 years ago, when the village was a much quieter and simpler place. There wasn’t nearly the activity we see today. It was a small community, and while it had its charm, it had not yet become the destination it is today.
