[What you need to know to start the day: Get New York Today in your inbox.] There seemed little doubt, even from the start, that the Mexican drug lord Joaquín Guzmán Loera would be convicted at his epic drug trial in New York. But when the verdict finally arrived, at 12:31 p.m. on Tuesday, sadness, pride and, for many, sheer relief that the marathon was over swept through the Brooklyn…

Video National debt hits $22 trillion The national debt — the total of annual budget deficits — has reached a new milestone, topping $22 trillion for the first time. The Treasury Department’s daily statement showed Tuesday that total outstanding public debt stands at $22.01 trillion. It stood at $19.95 trillion when President Trump took office on Jan. 20, 2017. OMAR SMASHED OVER SNEERS AT JEWISH MONEY IN POLITICS The debt figure has been rising…

Two NYPD officers were shot, one fatally, Tuesday night while responding to a call at a cellphone store in the Queens borough of New York City, CBS New York reports. The officer was killed in what appears to be “an absolute tragic case of friendly fire,” NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill said in a press conference late Tuesday. The officer was identified as Detective Brian Simonsen, 42, an 18-year veteran of…

In 2012, he evaded capture by the F.B.I. and the Mexican federal police by ducking out the back door of his oceanview mansion in Los Cabos into a patch of thorn bushes. Two years later, after he was recaptured in a hotel in Mazatlán by the D.E.A. and the Mexican marines, he escaped from prison again — this time, through a lighted, ventilated, mile-long tunnel dug into the shower of…

President Trump made $5.7 billion into a magic number when he claimed that was what’s needed to secure the border. Democrats are never going to give him that amount. If Trump had simply focused on the policy of keeping the country safe, and not on a particular number, he might already be out of the current shutdown showdown with a win. Instead, he latched on to the number and made…

As a sign-off, Bill and Melinda Gates dedicated this year’s letter to Paul Allen, who died in October at the age of 65. They said: “Paul was a brilliant man with a wide-ranging mind and a special talent for explaining complicated subjects in a simple way. He loved to share his passion for music, science, the arts, sports, philanthropy, and so much more. “He supported homeless shelters, brain research, and…

Video Shutdown negotiators: We have an agreement Congressional negotiators revealed Monday evening that they’ve reached “an agreement in principle” on border security funding that includes more than $1.3 billion for physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border. When asked if they had an agreement that President Trump would approve, Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., the chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, told reporters: “We think so. We hope so.” Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., the…

While many New Jersey residents awoke to find little to no snow on the ground Tuesday morning, weather forecasts say the worst of the winter storm expected to hit the state with a mix of snow, ice and freezing rain is yet to come.  Once it starts, the storm could last much of the day, according to the National Weather Service, which has issued winter storm warnings and advisories for…

In recent weeks, California and its militia, one of the largest National Guard entities in the US, began signaling its disagreement with President Donald Trump on two contentious topics: the southern border and transgender service members. Nearly a month after the Supreme Court decided not to stand in the way of Trump’s move to bar transgender people from serving in the military, the California Military Department’s second-in-command told policymakers the…

PARKLAND, Fla. — It’s an image that has become emblematic of the Parkland school massacre: two terrified moms outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, one of them a tall, weeping blonde with the black smudge of Ash Wednesday on her forehead, the other a petite redhead crying in despair on her shoulder. But the bond in that widely seen photograph didn’t survive long. The two women soon found themselves at odds…

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) took a dig at Donald Trump’s reading skills after the president criticized, with falsehoods, the Green New Deal during his campaign rally in El Paso, Texas, on Monday night.

Nearly two years after China first laid out its plan to become the world leader in artificial intelligence by 2030, the U.S. on Monday released its own playbook. The document, an executive order from President Donald Trump, explained his administration’s views on developing artificial intelligence, but left open a major question: Where’s the money? “Money talks when it comes to government priorities, and new money actually drives priorities.” said R….

For more than a decade, a Baptist preacher in Oklahoma has been what he calls “a lone voice in the wilderness.” Pastor Wade Burleson called on the Southern Baptist Convention to protect its flock by creating a database that would track church workers accused of sexual abuse. Such a list was published Monday, but not by the Baptists. The Houston Chronicle and San Antonio Express-News in an expansive investigation named…

Democrats are leaning in hard in the new border talks under pressure from the party’s left flank, which is pushing to limit law enforcement operations against immigrants in the country illegally — and complicating negotiations to prevent another government shutdown in the process. The conference committee seeking a bipartisan agreement on Homeland Security funding is well stacked with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), which has long advocated for…
