Here’s what else is happening:
- Two brothers who were charged in 2023 with bribing former New York City buildings commissioner Eric Ulrich to lift a vacate order on a bakery that had shut down pleaded guilty this week to bribery and conspiracy.
- State Assemblymember Keith Powers confirmed yesterday that NYU Langone is planning to build outpatient and ambulatory care facilities at the site of the AMC Kips Bay theater.
- Rahm Emanuel, the former Obama chief of staff who's considered a possible Democratic presidential candidate, is doubling down on his claim that he met with Mayor Mamdani and told him that "over my dead body" Israel would cease to be a Jewish state.

- President Trump said last night he'd send everyone $5,000 if Republicans win the House and Senate in November.
- Congrats to the students of Edison Academy Magnet School in New Jersey for having an average SAT score of almost perfect.
- Zoomers who say they'll Venmo their friends for the bar or restaurant tab often don't, according to a new survey.
