Good Monday morning in New York City, where the kids are doing jazz math.
Here's what else is happening:
- Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, who represents a Hudson Valley swing district, got an earful at a local town-hall meeting last night. (GOP leaders had apparently told members not to meet with upset constituents.)
- Some Upper West Siders think the new 5G cell towers on sidewalks look stupid.
- Thousands of Sikhs marched down Madison Avenue on Saturday for the 37th annual Sikh Day Parade.
- President Trump said he's bringing back Columbus Day (though it was never canceled) after "the Democrats did everything possible to destroy Christopher Columbus, his reputation, and all of the Italians that love him so much."
- Jiggly Caliente, a star of "RuPaul's Drag Race," has died at the age of 44.
- 25 is the new 21.
- Sorghum is trying to be the new quinoa.
- Look at these cute little freaks.
