Contributor: Every shooting reflects our culture of violence, which the president cheers
On May 21, as they left the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were fatally shot, and because they were employees of the Israeli Embassy and the suspect was associated with pro-Palestinian politics, the story was reported in the familiar mode of Middle East politics. The questions that reporters and pundits have been asking are: 'Was this antisemitic?' 'Was this killing a direct result of Israel's starving of Palestinians in Gaza?' 'Was this another act of pro-Palestinian terrorism?' 'Is this the direct result of 'globalizing the intifada'?' While these are valid questions, they miss a central part of the story. Only in the eighth paragraph of the New York Times report are we told that the night before the shooting, according to officials, the suspect 'had checked a gun with his baggage when he flew from Chicago to the Washington area for a work conference' and, further, that officials said 'The gun used in the killings had been purchased legally in Illinois.' (The Los Angeles Times article does not mention these facts.) This tragic shooting, however, is not unique. In November 2023, a Burlington, Vt., man was arrested and charged with shooting three Palestinian college students without saying a word to them. (He has pleaded not guilty.) In October 2018, a gunman entered the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh and shot and killed 11 Jews at prayer. In 2015, three Muslim students were shot and killed by their neighbor in Chapel Hill, N.C. This brief and very incomplete list of the literally hundreds of thousands of people who have been killed by guns in the U.S. in the last decade does not include the racist mass shootings in Buffalo, N.Y., and at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C.; the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Fla.; or the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, at a music festival in Las Vegas in 2017. This macabre list also leaves out the thousands of people who have been shot and killed by law enforcement. The elephant in the room — so fundamentally accepted that it largely goes unmentioned — is the deeply ingrained culture of violence in the United States. Gun ownership, police violence and abuse, and mass shootings are symptoms of that culture. However, the militaristic approach to international conflict (from Vietnam to Ukraine) and the disdain for nonviolent solutions are also grounded in this culture, as are the manosphere and the cruelty of predatory capitalism. Now we have a presidential administration that embodies this culture. Kristi Noem, the secretary of Homeland Security, personifies this ethos of cruelty and violence when she is photographed in front of a cage full of humans in a Salvadoran jail known for torturous treatment of inmates or writing casually about killing her dog. Noem is a key player in the theater of cruelty, but she is not the only one, and the unparalleled star is of course President Trump. Trump's policy agenda is based on vengeance. He revels in the theatricality of violence of the world of mixed martial arts, and he signs executive orders that aim to destroy individuals, law firms and universities that have not bent the knee, and the economics of his 'Big Beautiful' budget moves money from those in need to those who need for naught. Now, the president wants a military parade on his birthday that will include tanks, helicopters and soldiers. Although Trump himself evaded the draft, and he reportedly called American soldiers who were killed in war suckers and losers, he likes the strongman aesthetic of an army that is at his beck and call. He exulted in the fact that 'we train our boys to be killing machines.' Although some want to draw a dubious line from pro-Palestinian campus demonstrations to the killings of Lischinsky and Milgrim, the direct line that should be drawn is the one that everyone seems to have agreed to ignore: a culture of violence coupled with the widespread availability and ownership of guns inevitably leads to more death. The only way we get out of this cycle of violence is by addressing the elephant in the room.

How much is Andrew Cuomo's rent? He's given three answers
Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo has given a couple of different answers when asked how much he pays for rent — including on Wednesday night during a chaotic Democratic mayoral primary debate. Cuomo, the frontrunner in the June 24 primary, told moderators that he was forking over $7,800 monthly as he scribbled on a pad of paper during the lightning round of questions at the fiery NBC-Politico forum held at 30 Rockefeller Center Plaza. That was the third figure the veteran politician has offered in recent months about the cost to live in his luxury Manhattan apartment, located near Sutton Place. When The Post reviewed Cuomo's lease earlier this year, it was listed at $8,200 and he paid just over $8,000 to start. He told the New York Times earlier this week that his rent had just jumped to about $8,000 per month. Cuomo has been labeled a carpetbagger by critics after it came to light he only registered to vote in the city last fall. He also only started living full-time in the city since the fall after splitting time between Westchester County and Manhattan. Cuomo initially lived in the Midtown East apartment with one of his daughters, before she moved out as hear dad geared up for his comeback bid for mayor, which he announced March 2. The other candidates said during the debate they either rented or owned their homes across the Big Apple – though their monthly payments were lower than Cuomo's. Here's what the rest of the candidates for the Democratic nod said they pay for housing: City Comptroller Brad Lander: $3,300 City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams: 'Our home is paid. I'm a homeowner.' State Sen. Zellnor Myrie: $1,300 State Sen. Jessica Ramos: $2,500 Former City Comptroller Scott Stringer: $6,400 State Assembly member Zohran Mamdani: $2,300 Rev. Michael Blake: $1,800 Financier Whitney Tilson: Owns but pays $5,000 in upkeep and taxes One of the pressing issues brought up numerous times during the debate, was how to make housing in the city more affordable — with candidates detailing various plans.

Wordle hints today for #1,447: Clues and answer for Thursday, June 5
Hey, there! We hope your week is going just swimmingly. Speaking of which, those of us in the northern hemisphere are sliding into pool season. That's exciting! However, there's no need to worry about your Wordle streak — we're here to help you keep it afloat. Here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Thursday's puzzle (#1,447). It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too. Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. The gist is that there is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone. Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats. The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily. To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard. However, you can still use those letters in subsequent guesses. You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once. Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak. If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,400 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions. In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game. Before today's Wordle hints, here are the answers to recent puzzles that you may have missed: Yesterday's Wordle answer for Wednesday, June 4 — CEASE Tuesday, June 3 — ADMIN Monday, June 2 — PREEN Sunday, June 1 — ROUGH Saturday, May 31 — HABIT Every day, we'll try to make Wordle a little easier for you. First, we'll offer a hint that describes the meaning of the word or how it might be used in a phrase or sentence. We'll also tell you if there are any double (or even triple) letters in the word. In case you still haven't quite figured it out by that point, we'll then provide the first letter of the word. Those who are still stumped after that can continue on to find out the answer for today's Wordle. This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead. Here is a hint for today's Wordle answer: A single piece of (perhaps digital) data. There are no repeated letters in today's Wordle answer. The first letter of today's Wordle answer is D. This is your final warning before we reveal today's Wordle answer. No take-backs. Don't blame us if you happen to scroll too far and accidentally spoil the game for yourself. What is today's Wordle? Today's Wordle answer is... DATUM Not to worry if you didn't figure out today's Wordle word. If you made it this far down the page, hopefully you at least kept your streak going. And, hey: there's always another game tomorrow.
