Brandon Simosa, 25, who has apparent ties to the vicious prison gang, was nabbed outside the Row Hotel migrant shelter in Midtown Manhattan Tuesday night over the sick ordeal, the sources said.

He is accused of robbing the 38-year-old assistant district attorney when she arrived home to her 44th Street pad at about 2 a.m. Sunday and busted him midway through the lewd act in the building’s hallway.

Simosa, who was hit with a slew of charges — including sexually motivated robbery, grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property — was spotted smirking as he was hauled away in handcuffs by cops ahead of his pending arraignment Wednesday.

It wasn’t immediately clear when Simosa arrived in the Big Apple, or where he’d been living. At one point, one of his addresses was listed as one of the city’s taxpayer-funded migrant shelter in Queens, sources said. […]

That, at least, is what the FBI raid against Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan looks like.

At 6 a.m. Wednesday, agents stormed his home to demand his phone and other devices.

Was the Polymarket raid a political hit?

Why? Officially, as part of a criminal probe into the platform for allowing US users to bet on politics via VPN, in contravention of a previous agreement Polymarket made with regulators at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

That, at least, is what the FBI raid against Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan looks like. […]

Men are breathing a sigh of relief, as this self-defeating gesture by the Trump-deranged bodes well for natural selection, especially since conservative women are having more babies.

But the joke is on the Trump-hating femmes. It was supposed to be the gender gap election, which women would win for Democrats because more of them vote.

Kamala “Brat” Harris was banking on the sisters to make her the first female president in history.

Except that’s not what happened. Women do historically vote Democrat, but this time Harris did worse with the female vote than both her Democratic predecessors — five points worse than Joe Biden and three points worse than Hillary Clinton. […]

The 40-year-old upstate Republican, who helped force out two Ivy League presidents with her sharp questioning on campus antisemitism, will the lead Trump’s “America first” and pro-Israel message in Turtle Bay.

“I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter,” Trump, 78, said in a statement to The Post Sunday night.

Stefanik, the No. 4 House Republican, has been a close Trump ally, including serving on his ceremonial defense team in 2020 during his first impeachment trial for pressuring Ukraine to investigate alleged Biden family corruption.

The Harvard grad worked to turn the tables on what she called the “Biden Crime Family” and has regularly appeared on TV to drive home the Republican positions on issues — setting up a likely a contrast from the outgoing UN ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who rarely courted media attention. […]

Kelly McBride, who has been NPR’s ombudsman since 2020, told The Wrap that tech firms such as X and Facebook were wrong to prevent users from sharing links to The Post’s revelations about the laptop, whose hard drive included emails linking the Biden family to a Ukrainian businessman.

“I was really uncomfortable with the tech companies censoring it,” McBride said. “Who are they to be the arbiters of truth?”

In April, Uri Berliner, who left NPR after publishing an essay critical of the outlet for its left-wing bias, faulted his former employer for ignoring the laptop story.

Nevertheless, McBride, who is now senior vice president at Poynter Institute, told The Wrap that she is more troubled with how tech companies blocked people from reading the story than she is about how NPR covered it. […]

Authorities in Buncombe County reported the horrifying toll in an emergency meeting announcing emergency medical shelters and ongoing rescue efforts in areas almost overwhelmed by stormwater.

They also announced a special website to appeal for help finding those unaccounted for — with “more than 1,000 reports so far,” one local official told the live-streamed meeting.

“We’re doing the best we can,” Buncombe County Sheriff Quentin Miller said of conditions making it almost impossible to reach the stranded due to collapsed roads, failing infrastructure and widespread flooding.

Many of the unaccounted for are hoped to just be those without electricity and efforts to let loved ones know they are safe, officials said. However, the county, home to Asheville, already has 30 of the Tar Heel State’s 36 confirmed deaths — a terrible toll expected to soon rise, Gov. Roy Cooper conceded. […]

Julio Cesar Pimentel-Soriano, 34, allegedly used a “sharp object” to fatally stab Fraime Ubaldo, 30, Marangely Moreno-Santiago, 26, Evangeline Ubaldo-Moreno, 4, and Sebastian Ubaldo-Moreno, 2, inside their Irondequoit home on Aug. 31, according to a felony complaint viewed by WHAM.

He allegedly stabbed each victim in the neck and chest multiple times.

“Obviously, the allegations are troubling,” Assistant District Attorney Perry Duckles told the outlet. “They are difficult to deal with. They are difficult to see.”

“It seems like this family was very well-liked and very active in their community, so obviously my condolences go out to their family, friends, and neighbors who had to suffer through this,” Assistant District Attorney Perry Duckles said. […]

Shamel Kelly told NBC New York that he was introduced to the top cop’s brother, James Caban, by a City Hall staffer — who was fired Wednesday over his alleged involvement in the arrangement.

Kelly reportedly said that James Caban told him that he’d take care of his problems with the police department if he paid him $2,500.

“He said he will mediate my issues,” Kelly told the local station of the alleged conversation. “He said he could bring the NYPD to me and resolve our issues is what he said he could do.” […]

Caban — whose electronic devices were seized by federal agents last week in what sources described as a sweeping corruption probe involving potential influence peddling — submitted a letter of resignation that Adams said he accepted.

After Caban’s resignation takes effect Friday, the commish job will be filled by former FBI official Tom Donlon on an interim basis, Adams said.

“The news around recent developments has created a distraction for our department, and I am unwilling to let my attention be on anything other than our important work, or the safety of the men and women of the NYPD,” Caban said in an internal email sent to members of service Thursday morning, and obtained by The Post.
