Bodegas are on every corner of New York City, there for us at all hours, and the bodegueros who service them become our family. So, when the CoViD-19 pandemic hit our city, our bodegas were a lifeline to our local communities. We relied on them for toilet paper, snacks, diapers, and a sense of community at a time of extreme uncertainty.
And while New York City has seen declines in major crimes, it’s important that we take additional steps to address the crimes our bodegueros continue to face and give them a way contact 911 during an emergency without having to find their phone or fear being attacked by a criminal. Now, thanks to the partnership of the Adams administration and the United Bodegas of America, our bodegueros will be able to click a button during emergencies and NYPD will be on their way without anyone knowing.
New York City will be investing $1.6 million to fund “SilentShields” buttons at 500 bodegas that will instantly call the NYPD during emergencies. These buttons will immediately direct city resources to these small businesses so that New York City can be a lifeline for them, just like bodegas were a lifeline for us during CoViD-19.
We are starting by distributing these buttons to bodegas in the areas with the highest levels of crime so that workers and customers, in communities who need them the most, will be safe and, more importantly, feel safe.
Now, workers…

A PROCLAMATION
Today, our Nation proudly commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Allied Powers’ triumph over national socialism and fascism, and the end of World War II in Europe — one of the most epic victories for forces of freedom in the history of the world. On this Victory Day for World War II, we celebrate the unmatched might, strength, and power of the American Armed Forces, and we commit to protecting our sacred birthright of liberty against all threats, foreign and domestic.
In the wake of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States righteously entered the fray of what would become the apex of the eternal battle between good and evil. After nearly 4 years of the darkest and bloodiest chapters ever recorded in human history, more than 250,000 Americans lost their lives in the fight against the Nazi regime. Today and every day, we pay tribute to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their Nation, their liberty, and the survival of Western civilization. Without the sacrifice of our American…

In professional golf, early odds for the majors don not just set betting lines—they offer a glimpse into the current landscape of talent and momentum. With the next PGA Championship approaching, sportsbooks have released their updated outright winner odds. These numbers reveal who fans and analysts believe are most likely to triumph under pressure. When favorites rise to the top of the oddsboard, it is rarely a coincidence. Their form, past performances, and projected course fit play a major role in shaping expectations.
Scheffler’s Consistency Commands Respect
Scottie Scheffler continues to set the pace in the betting markets, and for good reason. He has remained a dominant presence across multiple events, posting top finishes with remarkable regularity. His swing mechanics, mental discipline, and short-game control make him a favorite not just on paper, but also in the eyes of his peers (and many industry commentators). His odds reflect not just hype, but trust in his ability to manage four grueling rounds at major championship venues.
It is no wonder, Scheffler’s approach stats are among the best on tour, and his consistency off the tee is nearly unmatched. He may not always be the flashiest player in the field, but he rarely plays himself out of contention. The betting markets have reacted accordingly—he is the benchmark against whom other players’ odds are set.
