The rest of 2019 was less lofty.\n\nIt was a year of grinding politics. A rookie Democratic-controlled State Legislature went through a jam-packed and sometimes chaotic legislative session, from overdue voting changes to complicated criminal justice reforms. Local fraud and abuse continued as usual, with the convictions of former Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano and former Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota.\n\nAll the while, Washington was a tempest, with special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election coming and going. White House scandals and travesties popped from the Mexican border to Ukraine.\n\nUltimately, 2019 saw just the third impeachment of an American president.\n\nThere were devastating storms over the Bahamas and fires in California as climate change created havoc around the globe. The world seemed to spiral, with protests in Hong Kong and authoritarian or populist movements gaining steam from India to Eastern Europe to Britain. American troops continued to fight and die in the Middle East, as the truth about the long war in Afghanistan only continued to come out.\n\nThere were bright spots. Yankee great Mariano Rivera was unanimously voted into baseball\u2019s Hall of Fame, and the U.S. Women\u2019s soccer team dominated the World Cup. Even Congress made the belated promise to care for 9/11 first responders permanent.\n\nThose good moments can be hard to clock. With a presidential election coming, time will only speed up. But some things endure, like that New Horizons mission. The spacecraft is still transmitting data from the January flyby. And it\u2019s still healthy, traveling 31,000 mph toward future discoveries, more and more distant from Earth.\n\nSign up for The Point Go inside New York politics.
