“I like assembly folks. I like costumes. And I like performing,” mentioned Stephanie Windland, an actress who works as a information for the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Websites Tour. Together with her present gig, she will get to “speak about two issues I am keen on: the present and this metropolis.”
Set in New York within the Fifties, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” an Amazon tv sequence, is a few lady who finds her ardour as a slapstick comedian. The 2-hour tour highlights over two dozen spots well-known within the present.
Ms. Windland, 29, who lives in Astoria, Queens, with two roommates, mentioned she was employed after chatting somebody up at a celebration. “A automotive and a fancy dress have been concerned. I knew I needed to have this job.”
SLOW START I get up 7:30 a.m. to birds chirping. It’s a part of the sleep app on the iPhone. For the following 30 to 60 minutes there’s a big quantity of snoozing. I’m attempting not to try this. Then I make Chemex espresso for everybody. It’s slower however tastes higher. I’m a mug collector. I’ve 11 or 12. Proper now I’m doing a job for Hasbro as a toy demonstrator, so I’m utilizing one from them. Then I do three pages in my journal. It’s stream of consciousness. I’m attempting to get myself to jot down each morning. I additionally do a every day Wordle. I haven’t misplaced but.
SALUTATIONS I meet my roommate Abigail within the hallway or the kitchen and we now have a dialog. We name this open-door time. I’d watch some TV in my bed room. New obsessions are “The Nice” and “Ted Lasso.”
PARTY TIME For the previous three years I’ve been working a karaoke singalong for adults on the spectrum. Since Covid we’ve been doing them on Zoom. Each session begins with me saying, “It’s what?” They usually say, “Get together time.” Somebody is at all times requesting “Virtually There” from “The Princess and the Frog,” Beyoncé’s “Halo” and a Beatles track. Slightly after 12 p.m. I dress for work. My costume is much like Mrs. Maisel’s, a maroon gown, black heels, a black hat with a bow and a coat I purchased for $5 on the senior heart in Queens Village.
TOUR PREP I cease at Parisi Bakery to purchase black and white cookies at hand out to company on the tour and take the subway to Herald Sq.. By 1:15 I’m in entrance of the digital actuality retailer on Fifth Avenue and thirty fourth Road, which is our assembly spot. Earlier than Covid we had a van or a bus with 20 to 40 folks. Now it’s solely me and the motive force and two or three folks in an previous classic automotive. I escort them to the automotive and fake they’re celebrities.
OLD NEW YORK The primary location is correct there: the B. Altman division retailer. It’s the place Midge, the lead character, works, and is now the CUNY Graduate Heart. We’ll hit 25 spots; some I level out as we drive, just a few we get out and go to inside, just like the Previous City Bar, which is Sally’s within the present, McSorley’s Previous Ale Home and Caffe Reggio. I discuss concerning the present and reply questions. I ask them the place they’re from, which is usually New Jersey, Connecticut and Lengthy Island, what they do, what they like concerning the present and what group they’re on. Most say Midge. If they’re group Benjamin we now have it out.
PHOTOS, COOKIES At Albanese Meats and Poultry, we get out for a photograph opp. That’s the place Midge screams, “We received the rabbi!” In the event that they’re a shy group I re-enact the scene, then take some pictures for them. It’s essential to have a relationship with the shop homeowners. I by no means need to make their enterprise really feel like a vacationer attraction. Then I hand out the black and white cookies, which Midge arms out to her doorman and elevator man. I’m at all times shocked at how many individuals have by no means had one.
IT’S A WRAP We additionally hit Music Inn, after which La Bonbonniere, which is a diner within the present. By 3:30 the tour ends. We are saying our goodbyes, which is tough as a result of I really feel like we’re pals. Then I take the subway residence. Although I seem like a caroler, folks praise my outfit. I get numerous “We love your gown.”
DINNER IN THE HOOD If Abigail is residence, we discuss concerning the minor inconveniences of our day. In Astoria, we’d go to Aliada or Candy Afton, I like their Buffalo wings and spicy cocktails. If I keep residence, we order in from Orale!! Tacos!!
DRESS-UP I’ve a bin of wigs I maintain beneath my mattress. I’ve by no means grown out of the dressing up stage. We’ll play some music, Kim Petras, Anaïs Mitchell, who wrote “Hadestown,” or some Frank Sinatra, who hits excellent with me. Abigail makes white Negronis and we dance within the wigs. Or we watch a film. We’re massive Marvel followers. We simply noticed “Avengers: Endgame” and “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.”
SETTLING IN I plug within the Christmas lights I’ve up all 12 months and try and do some studying; I’m in the course of six books. For the previous two years I’ve been 300 pages into the “The E-book of Mud.” I get in mattress and go onto Instagram. Then I do a recap of my day in a e book my mom gave me known as “One Line a Day.” I began doing this in January. Now if somebody asks me in 5 years what I did at the moment or how at the moment felt I’ll know.

Trump Tries to Move Hush-Money Case to Federal Court Before Sentencing
![Trump Tries to Move Hush-Money Case to Federal Court Before Sentencing Trump Tries to Move Hush-Money Case to Federal Court Before Sentencing](https://static01.nyt.com/images/2024/08/29/multimedia/29trump-sdny-tzwh/29trump-sdny-tzwh-facebookJumbo-v2.jpg)
Former President Donald J. Trump sought to move his Manhattan criminal case into federal court on Thursday, filing the unusual request three months after he was convicted in state court.
The long-shot bid marks Mr. Trump’s latest effort to stave off his sentencing in state court in his hush-money trial, in which he was convicted of falsifying records to cover up a sex scandal.
He is scheduled to receive his punishment on Sept. 18, just seven weeks before Election Day, when he will square off against Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency.
“The ongoing proceedings will continue to cause direct and irreparable harm to President Trump — the leading candidate in the 2024 presidential election — and voters located far beyond Manhattan,” Mr. Trump’s lawyers, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, wrote in the filing.
Their filing came even as the Trump legal team is awaiting the result of a separate effort to postpone the sentencing; it opened a second front that could complicate the first.
On Aug. 15, Mr. Trump asked the state court judge who presided over the trial, Juan M. Merchan, to delay the sentencing until after Election Day. Mr. Trump’s lawyers argued that they needed more time to challenge his conviction on the basis of a recent Supreme Court ruling granting presidents broad immunity for official acts.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office, which won the conviction of Mr. Trump on May 30, has argued that the Supreme Court’s ruling has “no bearing” on their case, which centers on Mr. Trump’s cover- up of a sex scandal involving a porn star. But the Manhattan prosecutors deferred to the judge on whether to delay the sentencing, leaving the door open for Justice Merchan to punt until after the election.
Justice Merchan was expected to rule on the delay request next week, and it is unclear whether Mr. Trump’s federal petition would disrupt that. In the federal filing, the former president’s lawyers asked a judge to find that Justice Merchan was barred by law from sentencing Mr. Trump while their attempt to move the case was underway.
It seemed possible that effort might backfire. If the federal judge does not grant the lawyers’ request, they will have further alienated Justice Merchan as he prepares to sentence their client. Mr. Trump faces up to four years in prison, though he could receive a shorter sentence, or merely probation.
There are signs the federal judge might be skeptical. Mr. Trump already tried — and failed — to move the case to federal court. Last year, soon after the former president was indicted, he asked the same federal judge to remove the case from Justice Merchan, arguing that it concerned official acts as president.
The judge, Alvin K. Hellerstein, rejected that argument.
“The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that the matter was a purely personal item of the president — a cover-up of an embarrassing event,” Judge Hellerstein wrote in an opinion last year. “Hush money paid to an adult film star is not related to a president’s official acts. It does not reflect in any way the color of the president’s official duties.”
It is unclear how soon Judge Hellerstein might take up Thursday’s request, or whether he will hold a hearing to entertain it. In their filing, Mr. Trump’s lawyers cast aspersions on the New York State court system, saying its procedures had “proven inadequate” to protect federal interests and, if allowed to continue, would “result in further irreparable harm to President Trump.”
The unorthodox filing suggested that Mr. Trump’s lawyers are likely to make any and every attempt they can to delay the sentencing, even if Judge Hellerstein balks.
A spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office declined to comment.
The filing on Thursday captured two of Mr. Trump’s favorite legal strategies: delay, and attacks on Justice Merchan.
The former president has on three occasions sought to oust Justice Merchan from the case, claiming he is biased, and lobbing personal attacks at the judge’s daughter, who is a Democratic political consultant. The judge has rejected each request and assailed the claims as “rife with inaccuracies and unsubstantiated claims.”

Dear Governor Murphy,

This is to advise you that I will be resigning from my office as the United States Senator from
New Jersey, effective on the close of business on August 20, 2024.
This will give time for my staff to transition to other possibilities, transfer constituent files that
are pending, allow for an orderly process to choose an interim replacement, and for me to close
out my Senate affairs.
While I fully intend to appeal the jury’s verdict, all the way and including to the Supreme Court,
I do not want the Senate to be involved in a lengthy process that will detract from its important
work. Furthermore, I cannot preserve my rights upon a successful appeal, because factual matters
before the ethics committee are not privileged. This is evidenced by the Committee’s Staff
Director and Chief Counsel being called to testify at my trial.
I am proud of the many accomplishments I’ve had on behalf of New Jersey, such as leading the
federal effort for Superstorm Sandy recovery, preserving and funding Gateway and leading the
federal efforts to help save our hospitals, State and municipalities, as well as New Jersey families
through a once in a century COVID pandemic. These successes led you, Governor, to call me the
“Indispensable Senator.”
I thank the citizens of New Jersey for the extraordinary privilege of representing them in the
United States Senate.
Sincerely,
Pabet Menang.
