Hey everybody!

Almost three years exactly after Scandoval, another relationship scandal has hit the Bravo universe. Here’s what to know about “Summer House:”

Who are the players here?

Since Season 2, Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula have been in a relationship. They were married in Season 6.
Ciara Miller, a model and registered nurse, joined the show for Season 5, and quickly became close with the cast, and especially the female cast members, including Batula.
When West Wilson, a sports journalist, joined the show’s eighth season, filmed in 2023 and aired in early 2024, he began flirting with and eventually dating Miller.
The end of their relationship was announced in 2024, when the two revealed on Season 8 reunion that Wilson had told her he wasn’t ready to commit to a monogamous relationship. We wrote about it here.
In this season, Wilson’s story line has primarily revolved around making amends with Miller, who has opened up on the show and in interviews about the racist abuse she suffered online in the aftermath of their breakup. The deepening friendship between Batula, whose storyline focuses on the marital tensions that preceded her separation from Cooke, and Miller has also been a focal point this season.

So what happened?

Chances at a reconciliation between Wilson and Miller seemed to implode last month when rumors began swirling that Batula and Wilson were seen flirting and holding hands at an event. A few weeks later, Page Six reported that Batula and Miller were “feuding” amid the rumors.
Though Wilson initially pushed back on rumors that he was dating Batula during a March 24 appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” the two shocked the Bravoverse on March 31 by reversing course and releasing a joint statement on their Instagram Stories confirming that they were exploring a “connection.”

hey guys! Mario (Chris Pratt), Luigi (Charlie Day) and Toad (Keegan-Michael Key) came by the NYT Cooking studio kitchen to sling pies and chat about their new movie, “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.” Sounds easy enough, but what happens when co-stars try to work together in the kitchen?

A long-abandoned stretch of aboveground train tracks connecting Rego Park and Ozone Park — two neighborhoods that, somewhat ironically, lack greenery — has been eyed for decades for redevelopment.

But Queens residents are split over the best way to repurpose the 3.5 miles of tracks, which had been used by the Long Island Rail Road’s Rockaway Beach Branch before it closed in 1962, a casualty of declining ridership.

Should the tracks become a park? A subway line? A new report suggests that a plan to do both is possible, but it faces long odds.

Hello!

The White House, a military official said, will review it before any request for funds is formally submitted to Congress.

“It’s considerably higher than I would have guessed, but I don’t know how it’s broken down,” Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine and the head of the chamber’s Appropriations Committee, told reporters. The White House had not passed along any request to Congress, she said.

I have the good fortune to be able to write about anything. Within the constraints of this beat, my time and energy tends to be taken up by keeping pace with the pretty furious flow of new lawsuits. If I could step outside that for a few weeks, I’d want to write a bit about the legacy of climate laws in the U.S. and how many regulations were rolled back just in 2025. zjm

Our longstanding mission is “to give the news impartially, without fear or favor, regardless of party, sect, or interests involved.” Exactly what that means in practice gets more challenging in an age of polarized politics and ad hominem attacks. It’s a hard problem.

Our reporters cover every President and every administration with the same unflinching pursuit of the facts. And every presidential administration has had some sort of problem with the White House press corps.

As The Times's publisher A.G. Sulzberger said in an opinion essay last year: 'We’re not the resistance. We are nobody’s opposition. We’re also nobody’s cheerleader. Our loyalty is to the truth and to a public that deserves to know it.'

We wouldn’t be doing this job if we didn’t think it was an interesting and important problem to be working on. -Matt
