City-Run Supermarkets Aren't New. But No One's Tried Them in a City Like New York
Nowhere is the potential impact greater than in New York City, where Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani wants to test a city-run grocery store in each of the five boroughs at a projected cost of $60 million. But New York isn't the only place where alternative models are emerging.

Man captured on surveillance camera attempting to enter Wisconsin lawmaker's home
Wisconsin State Rep. Priscilla Prado described a "deeply unsettling experience" when a shirtless man allegedly attempted to open her front door several times late Monday night, according to her office and Wisconsin State Capitol Police. Officials said they were investigating whether Prado was targeted. The lawmaker's doorbell camera outside of her home captured the incident and Wisconsin State Police released screenshots of the suspect in hopes of identifying him. This incident comes a month after the targeted attacks in Minnesota, where lawmakers Melissa Hortman, John Hoffman and both their spouses were shot in their homes. Wisconsin State Capitol police said this is an ongoing investigation. Prado, a Democratic lawmaker from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, released a statement Tuesday afternoon saying "this has been a deeply unsettling experience, and I appreciate the influx of concern. I respectfully ask for privacy and patience as law enforcement continues its work." Authorities described the suspect as a white male in 'his late 40s to early 50s, approximately 6 feet tall, 200 pounds with shoulder length blond hair.' The subject did not end up gaining entry into the residence but could be seen walking around Prado's property for a period of time, though police did not confirm how long he was there for. The investigation into the incident is currently active and ongoing.

Trump says Japan, US to form LNG joint venture
By Yuka Obayashi and Katya Golubkova TOKYO (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Japan will form a joint venture to develop a liquefied natural gas project in Alaska though a Japanese government official said he was not aware of such plans. It was not immediately clear whether Trump was referring specifically to the proposed $44 billion Alaska LNG project. That project would consist of an 800-mile (1,300-km) pipeline carrying gas to a planned liquefaction plant for export. Trump's announcement of the venture came in comments to lawmakers at the White House where he discussed his trade deal with Japan. "We concluded the one deal ... and now we're going to conclude another one because they're forming a joint venture with us at, in Alaska, as you know, for the LNG," Trump told the lawmakers. "They're all set to make that deal now." The METI official, who oversees resource development, said the agency is working to confirm Trump's comments. Several companies from Japan have expressed an interest in buying LNG from the project, along with Thailand's PTT and India's GAIL. JERA and Tokyo Gas, Japan's two biggest LNG buyers, have expressed their interest in the Alaska LNG project but said they would need to assess specific conditions, including costs, before moving forward. But when asked about the joint venture mentioned by Trump, a JERA spokesperson said they could not confirm it. A Tokyo Gas spokesperson declined to comment, saying the company is not involved in a joint venture for LNG in Alaska and is not familiar with the details.
