Cynthia Nixon, a progressive activist and actress best known for playing Miranda on HBO’s “Sex and the City,” announced Monday that she would challenge New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a Democratic primary. I love New York, and today I’m announcing my candidacy for governor. Join us: https://t.co/9DwsxWW8xX pic.twitter.com/kYTvx6GZiD Nixon is known as an ally of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who often finds himself at odds with Cuomo, and has been mulling a bid for months. The governor, who was first elected in 2010, is running for a third term. Cuomo faced a stronger-than-expected primary challenge from progressive academic Zephyr Teachout in 2014. He is thought of as a potential candidate for the Democratic nomination for 온라인카지노 president in 2020. First, however, he’ll have to fend off Nixon, who has largely left acting for activism in recent years. Her announcement video does not mention Cuomo by name, but does knock “politicians who care more about headlines and power than they do about us.” More in Bill de Blasio “We are now the most unequal state in the entire country,” Nixon says in the ad, “with both incredible wealth and extreme poverty.” De Blasio backed Cuomo in the 2014 primary despite their frequent sparring. However, given his close connections to Nixon, de Blasio is unlikely to support Cuomo this time. Two strategists with ties to de Blasio...

Updated 2:02 a.m. Eastern (AP) TOKYO – Japanese police Friday arrested the last fugitive suspected in a doomsday cult’s deadly nerve gas attack on Tokyo subways 17 years ago: the cult leader’s former bodyguard, who was finally tracked down at a comic-book cafe.

An employee at the downtown Tokyo cafe had recognized him and called police, she said. Takahashi admitted who he was when approached by the police at the cafe. His trail had been cold for years, but it heated up after another fugitive from the cult was arrested June 3. Thousands of officers had been hunting for him across the capital, handing out fresh photos of the suspect and monitoring transportation hubs to keep him from escaping. Woman who housed Japan cult fugitive in custody Takahashi, who had been cult guru Shoko Asahara’s bodyguard, was on Japan’s most wanted list for his suspected role in the sarin gas attack on Tokyo subways, which killed 13 people and injured more than 6,000.

Updated 5:44 p.m. ET (CBS/AP) CAIRO – Egypt’s highest court on Thursday ordered the country’s Islamist-dominated parliament dissolved and ruled that the last prime minister to serve under Hosni Mubarak could stay in the presidential race, twin blows to the Muslim Brotherhood that could sweep away its political gains since Mubarak’s ouster 16 months ago. The rulings by the Supreme Constitutional Court, whose judges are Mubarak appointees, escalated the power struggle between the Brotherhood and the military, which stepped in to rule after Mubarak’s fall. The decisions tip the contest dramatically in favor of the ruling generals, robbing the Brotherhood of its power base in parliament and boosting Ahmad Shafiq, the former Mubarak prime minister who many see as the military’s favorite in the presidential contest against the Brotherhood’s candidate. Senior Muslim Brotherhood leader and lawmaker Mohammed el-Beltagy said the rulings amounted to a “full-fledged coup.” “This is the Egypt that Shafiq and the military council want and which I will not accept no matter how dear the price is,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
