The director Rob Reiner delivered an incredible number of widely acclaimed movies, from “When Harry Met Sally” to “Stand By Me” and “Misery.” On “Cannonball,” Wesley Morris reflects on the impact Reiner had on his life and why his films are so beloved. nyti.ms/3MJFrZR

I don't live in New York; but I am also worried as a center-left Democrat; about the spread of the toxic ideology of antizionism, about the future of the Democratic Party, about the future of the United States.
I was part of a group of rabbis who met again with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. While we were pleased to be able to discuss our concerns with the mayor-elect, those concerns remain. We've never before had a mayor who has expressed this kind of ideological hostility to the very existence of #Israel..

As we today wonder if polls will be accurate, consider that, last year, state-level election polls had an average error (in any direction) of 3 points, the most accurate year since 1944. And they had an average pro-Democratic bias of 2.7 points.
The bottom line: Across all levels of elections, the average polling error in 2024 was 3.3 percentage points, down from 5.3 in 2020 and 5.2 in 2016. National presidential polls missed by 2.6 points on average, and state-level presidential polls by 3.0 on average.
