Blizzard Grinds Northeast Transit to a Standstill

A powerful blizzard dumped heavy snow and high winds across the East Coast, forcing widespread transit disruptions from New Jersey to Massachusetts. NJ Transit and LIRR were fully halted, Metro-North trimmed service (with West-of-Hudson canceled), and New York City subways and buses faced delays. Amtrak suspended Boston–New York service, while a Massachusetts travel ban covered parts of the Cape and southern coast. More than 6,000 flights were canceled, and regional systems like MBTA, RIPTA, and SEPTA reduced or halted service as the storm intensified.

NYC nurses launch largest hospital strike over pay, staffing and safety

Nearly 15,000 New York State Nurses Association members walked out at Montefiore Medical Center, NewYork-Presbyterian and Mount Sinai—the biggest nursing strike in NYC history—demanding inflation-adjusted pay, stronger staffing protections, and new contract provisions on artificial intelligence and workplace violence. Hospitals say negotiations with mediators were limited and warn the demands would be costly amid federal health-care funding changes; state officials will monitor patient safety as hospitals deploy temporary staff and have spent more than $100 million preparing for the strike.

"Decades-Long Injustice: Friends Cleared of 1987 Times Square Murder"

Two men, Eric Smokes and David Warren, who were imprisoned for decades for the 1987 killing of a French tourist in Times Square have had their convictions overturned after prosecutors uncovered evidence of police pressuring witnesses. The men, who maintained their innocence, were released on parole in 2007 and 2011 after serving 20 and 24 years, respectively. The case, marked by lack of DNA evidence and recanted witness statements, was initially opposed by the judge and the district attorney's office, but a new investigation under Manhattan's current district attorney led to the uncovering of significant new evidence, resulting in the convictions being vacated.
