Mayor Mamdani announced that the city will fine online retailers $2,000 for each illegal e-bike or e-scooter sold.
The city also sent cease-and-desist letters to more than 40 retailers, including Amazon and Best Buy, accusing them of selling vehicles that exceed the city's speed limits.

Museum of Sex ads that have been prominently displayed along NYC buses for the past few months will be phased out over the next two months after a series of complaints by parents and religious groups.
The ads promoting the Museum of Sex will rotate off the MTA system within 60 days, rather than by the end of the year. In fact, the museum had been planning to expand its advertising campaign to cover the entire exterior of buses and include more explicit imagery.

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed HR 193, a bill that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent, ending the twice-yearly clock changes if it becomes law.
The bill now moves to the Senate.
If approved by the Senate and signed by the President, Americans would no longer “fall back” or “spring forward” each year.
Do you support making Daylight Saving Time permanent, or would you rather keep Standard Time year-round?

Campers from Camp Gan Israel near Moscow who were visiting started digging in the courtyard of the rebbes’ home and discovered the watch, alongside ancient rubles that had been buried for decades.

This photo shows Israeli Sayeret Matkal commandos and rescued hostages aboard an Israeli Air Force C-130 Hercules after the Entebbe Raid. The black Mercedes-Benz seen in the image was brought by the raiding force as a replica of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin's official car, part of a deception plan intended to make the convoy appear like Amin's motorcade and gain precious moments of surprise as they approached the terminal.

On July 4, 1976, Israeli commandos flew more than 2,500 miles (4,000 km) to rescue 102 hostages held by Palestinian and German terrorists after Air France Flight 139 was hijacked while en route from Tel Aviv to Paris and diverted to Entebbe, Uganda, where dictator Idi Amin supported the hijackers.

The assault lasted about 30 minutes. Nearly all of the hijackers were killed, along with dozens of Ugandan soldiers, and 11 Soviet-made MiG fighter jets were destroyed on the ground to prevent pursuit.

The operation came at a cost:

• Lt. Col. Yonatan "Yoni" Netanyahu, commander of the assault force and older brother of current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was the only Israeli soldier killed during the raid.
• Three hostages were killed during the rescue.
• A fourth hostage, Dora Bloch, who had been taken to a hospital before the raid, was later murdered by Ugandan authorities.

Fifty years later, Operation Entebbe (Operation Thunderbolt) is still studied by militaries around the world and is widely regarded as one of the most daring and successful hostage rescue missions ever conducted.
