NEW YORK CITY—Former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) has filed to launch a candidacy for a seat on the New York City Council next year, to make a potential political comeback following a series of scandals over sexting and a criminal conviction for obscene online contact with a minor. Weiner, 60, told the Associated Press that he is “still exploring” whether to run. District 2 encompasses a broad swath of some of Lower Manhattan’s most iconic neighborhoods, such as Gramercy, the Lower East Side, Greenwich Village, the East Village, Flatiron, Union Square, and Murray Hill. Carlina Rivera, a progressive Democrat with a focus on abortion access and transgender rights, currently represents the district on the City Council. After numerous investigations into sexual improprieties and a criminal conviction that sent him to prison for 21 months, Weiner has tried, so far without success, to make a political comeback. Weiner launched a run for mayor of New York in 2013 and failed to get past fifth place in the primaries. He had previously run for the same office, without success, in 2005. In 2011, Weiner engaged in sexting with social media users, causing a scandal that led to his announcement on June 16, 2011, that he would resign from the U.S. House of Representatives. Not long after his entry into the 2013 mayoral race, reports emerged that Weiner had used an alias to send sexually explicit photos to a 22-year-old woman. Another scandal erupted in August 2016 around reports that Weiner had sent a woman an image of himself lying in bed with his son. His then-wife Huma Abedin, a longtime close aide to former Secretary of State and two-time presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, filed for divorce in 2017. The two later agreed to negotiate their separation privately. In September 2016, allegations that Weiner had sent obscene content to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina prompted officials to seize Weiner’s laptop. After a discovery of certain emails on the laptop, then-FBI Director James Comey reopened an investigation into then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s improper use of a private email server for sensitive official matters. Prior to the reopening of the investigation, many polls had heavily favored Clinton. To this day, many people, including Clinton herself, believe that Weiner’s improprieties helped hand Donald Trump the presidency in November 2016. In 2017, Weiner received a 21-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to having sent obscene content to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. He served his sentence and was released from prison in 2019, and ordered to register as a sex offender.Agrochemicals Market Poised for Significant Growth, Projected to Reach $282.2 Billion by 2028Vivek Ramaswamy , one of the leaders of the Trump administration ’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, blamed a series of 1990s TV sitcoms for what he saw as a decline in U.S. dynamism in science and technology, leading tech companies to hire more qualified foreign-born and first-generation workers over their mentally lazy American counterparts. “A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers,” he wrote in a post on X pock-marked with misspellings. “A culture that venerates Cory from Boy Meets World or Zach & Slater over Screech in Saved by the Bell, or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in Family Matters will not produce the best engineers,” he noted. Ramaswamy, who himself is the child of immigrants to the U.S. , argued that the nation needs a new “Sputnik moment” to spur domestic advancement in science and technology. “We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again,” Ramaswamy added. “Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up.” his comments are part of wider tensions that have been exposed in recent days within the Trump coalition, which includes both far-right anti-immigration views, and an increasing embrace of the tech industry, whose workforce is highly diverse and made up of many immigrants and first-generation Americans. During the campaign, Trump doubled down on his long history of “America First” nativism and racism, calling for “ bloody ” mass deportations, the end of birthright citizenship , and claiming immigrants were “ poisoning the blood of the country .” Those stances have contrasted with the reality of the tech world of Trump’s key ally Elon Musk in which foreign-born workers in the U.S. in 2021 made up nearly 20 percent of the overall STEM workforce and nearly 60 percent of doctorate-level computer scientists, mathematicians, and engineers across fields, according to the National Science Foundation . Musk has recently lamented the state of U.S. engineering talent, triggering outrage from the Trump base. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent,” Musk wrote on Wednesday on X. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.” The “number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low,” he later added . “Think of this like a pro sports team: if you want your TEAM to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever they may be. That enables the whole TEAM to win.” That tirggered pushback on social media. “Nobody should come from another country taking American citizens’ jobs,” responded one user with the display name Constitutionalist America First, who said they worked in the internet technology field and had witnessed American workers lose status. “This needs more vetting as a policy prior to going ahead with it as it is not America Citizens First.” “There has been a permanent opposition in the heartland (and most of the country, frankly) to helping out talented kids from poorer or rural areas,” another user, whose profile picture showed a red MAGA hat, added. “Americans have been locked out for decades in a sick game that puts our interests last.” The Trump base’s hostility to immigrants also prompted criticism from social media users of the president-elect’s choice of adviser on artificial intelligence for his administration, Indian-American venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan. The attacks prompted the pro-Trump Shaun Maguire, a fellow venture capitalist, to defend Krishnan. “Sriram has a huge heart and is very talented — I’m sad he’s the one who stepped on this landmine,” Maguire wrote on X on Wednesday, while claiming new immigrants needed to be “skilled” and “assimilate to American culture,” lest the U.S. become the “3rd world.” “America is lucky to have him and so many other immigrants — our ancestors were all immigrants,” he added. Trump’s own, lesser known history with migrant workers adds further complications to these debates. Despite attaching much of his political rise to opposing immigration, Trump’s companies have also regularly employed undocumented people .Richard D. Parsons, a pioneering Black business executive who led Time Warner after its disastrous merger with AOL and had a hand in untangling some of the media industry’s knottiest dilemmas, died Thursday in Manhattan. He was 76. His friend Ronald S. Lauder told the New York Times the cause was bone cancer. Parsons had been suffering from multiple myeloma, a type of cancer, and a resurgence of the disase prompted him to step down from his role as interim chairman of CBS Corp. in October 2018. Shari Redstone reached out to Parsons in the wake of the abrupt departure of Leslie Moonves from CBS leadership following sexual misconduct allegations. “As some of you know, when I agreed to join the board and serve as the interim chair, I was already dealing with a serious health challenge – multiple myeloma – but I felt that the situation was manageable,” he said in an announcement at the time. “Unfortunately, unanticipated complications have created additional new challenges, and my doctors have advised that cutting back on my current commitments is essential to my overall recovery.” He was replaced by Strauss Zelnick. Parsons, who got his start working in New York state politics, rose to become CEO of the Dime Savings Bank, CEO of Time Warner and chairman of Citigroup before returning to the media industry and new challenges at CBS. He would have a hand not only recalibrating a merger of AOL and Time Warner that many viewed as disastrous but also rebuilding Citigroup after it began to suffer during the nation’s subprime mortgatge crisis. Parsons also played a crucial role in the preservation of Harlem’s famed Apollo Theatre when it fell into dire straits in the late 1990s. He orchestrated a fundraising campaign to save the historic venue and restore it as a music and arts hub for New York. He stepped down as board chair of the organization in December 2020 after 19 years. “Without Dick, there would be no Apollo as we know it today,” Jonelle Procope, president and CEO of the Apollo, told the New York Times in 2020. Parsons, who stood at more than six feet, had an easy charm and approachability about him despite the weight of the offices he carried and his role as a trailblazer leading what was at the time the world’s largest media company. When meeting reporters, he was talkative rather than guarded, and rarely let the complexity of his job get in the way of casual conversation. “”I take this job seriously. It’s important I do it well,” he once told Business Week. “But it’s not my life. I exist apart from this job.” Richard Parsons was born April 4, 1948, in Brooklyn, one of five children. He would attend the University of Hawaii and then moved to Albany Law School, where he finished at the top of his class. While working as an intern for the New York state legislature, he was offered a job working for the staff of the governor at the time, Nelson Rockefeller. The association would serve him well, and Parsons moved to Washington, D.C. when Rockefeller served as U.S. Vice President under Gerald Ford. He moved back to New York and worked in the law firm of Patterson, Belknap Webb & Tyler, where one of his clients was Rockefeller’s widow. In 1988, he was named chief operating officer of the Dime Savings Bank, recruited by a former Rockefeller aide who was working as CEO. Parsons later became chairman and CEO of the bank. In 1991, Rockefeller’s brother, Nelson, recommended him for a job on the board of Time Warner. Parsons would become president of the company in 1995. He faced a heady challenge at Time Warner, then a sprawling media conglomerate that controlled everything from HBO to Time magazine to CNN to Time Warner Cable. A $165 billion merger with dial-up Internet provider America Online has proven disastrous, with the company suffering from slowing growth in AOL memberships as well as the effect of an economic recession on the advertising that fueled its magazines and TV networks. But his easygoing demeanor was seen as an advantage in helping to stabilize the company. “”Dick has a people orientation, a political positioning,” that helps get things done, said Gerald Levin, the former CEO of Time Warner, told the New York Times in 2001. While other Time Warner executives would show more ambition in public, Parsons kept things on an even keel. “Ideally, you want to underpromise and overdeliver. To the extent that we’ve lost credibility, repairing it is important,” He told Time. He would end up working to pare a massive debt the company built up as a result of the merger, selling off sports teams like the Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Thrashers, as well as Warner Music Group, He also removed the AOL from the merged company’s name, restoring Time Warner’s dominance of the corporation, Parsons would step down from the company as CEO and chairman, respectively, in 2007 and 2008. He kept a hand in politics, playing a role in oversight of the transition team for former New York governor Eliot Spitzer, and former New York mayors Michael Bloomberg and Rudy Giuliani. He worked as economic adviser to U.S. President-elect Barack Obama. In February 2009, Parsons was named chairman of Citigroup, a role he would hold until 2012. In 2014, he was appointed interim CEO of the Los Angeles Clippers. In 2018, he emerged as an adviser to Redstone in the midst of a new media industry crisis. CBS Corp. was sparring with National Amusements for control of the company, and a courtroom battle loomed. Meanwhile, Moonves had been accused of sexual harassment in two different expose articles published by the New Yorker articles. As part of a settlement, Parsons joined the board. He was married to the former Laura Ann Bush. He is also survied by three children, Gregory, Leslie, and Rebecca .
