French President Emmanuel Macron announced that he decided to dissolve the French National Assembly after the far-right party Rassemblement National received roughly twice as many votes as his own party, Renaissance, according to unofficial results in the European Parliament (EP) elections yesterday. Macron stated that it was a serious decision, but he saw it as a sign of trust in democracy.

“The rise of nationalists is a danger for our nation, our Europe and France’s place on the world stage. The far right is the impoverishment of the French and the decline of our country,” said Macron.

Flood Emergency Paralyzes NYC and New Jersey

0

A state of emergency was declared in New Jersey due to severe flash flooding, while parts of New York City, including the subway system, were submerged by heavy rainfall.

Governor Phil Murphy urged residents to stay home, as submerged vehicles and flooded roads paralyzed districts like Somerville and Plainsville. In New York City, subway lines 1, 2, and 3 were suspended, with water pouring into stations like 23rd Street. Social media footage showed stairwells turning into waterfalls and passengers stranded in subway cars.

Floodwaters also disrupted traffic on Manhattan’s FDR Drive. Nearly 18 million people across the East Coast, including in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, remain under flood warnings.
