Florence Pugh says ‘DUNE’ is this generation’s ‘STAR WARS’
“I think [Dune] brought back movie-going … It was just so lovely to be a part of something that we know is our generational kind of Star Wars.”

We are engaging back into the Final Frontier with Star Trek First Contact!! Feelings are vastly different on this film - is it all based on variances of nostalgia?

This is a great example of 2 things: 1. How politicians package things have massive influence. 2. Not understanding 2nd order effects are often as meaningful or more meaningful than 1st order effects.
This law benefits me. I voted against it. It is a power play wrapped as a tax break. Homestead taxes go to local governments, not the state. This law moves money from local budgets to state control. It starves local municipalities of funding, which will force them to bend to the state’s demands to get their share of budget allocated. Police, firefighters, and EMTs are all funded by local taxes and will have lower budgets unless local govs do something to negate the loss. So to offset, counties and municipalities will have to institute local sales taxes to ensure they have the funding necessary to meet their budgets and provide critical services and infrastructure. This law gives the biggest tax breaks to those who own the largest homes and will force the average Floridian to pay higher taxes on everything they buy.
Voting matters. Know what you’re voting for.

'In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek. His value was placed at $1400.
More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter, Keisha Lance Bottoms, was elected governor of GA' ajc.com/politics/2026/11/kei…

Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026).

El-Sayed: At the end of the day, I actually don't think about Haley Stevens. Because you know what? I'm just less interested in the politics of it all than I am in the policy of it all…
If you are somebody who believes that we should stand up to hate, and you have watched this last campaign, I think we probably would not want to support Mike Rogers and Donald Trump and JD Vance. If you're somebody who believes that we need more health care, not less than you probably don't want to vote for the guy who voted to raise prescription drug prices or keep them high 19 times and takes money from big pharma and big insurance. If you're somebody who believes in public education, you probably do not want to support the guy who architected the initial legislation in 1999 that ended up stripping local control from Detroit public schools and the local community. If you're somebody who believes that you should have a right to a union, you probably don't want to support the guy who busts unions. So I'm just saying that the principles that we believe in as Democrats are really quite clear. I stand for all of them.
