Donald Trump’s ever-changing tariff policies created an enormous amount of uncertainty in the economy and raised the cost of imported goods. Will costs start to settle in 2026? newyorkermag.visitlink.me/hR-5Cr

NEW: Senator Blumenthal writes to donors to Trump's ballroom whose contributions were revealed by the @nytimes, raising questions about "what promises may have been or may yet be made in exchange for what presumably will be substantial contributions."

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Looking for the truth about what it was like inside CECOT? Earlier this year, we spoke to the men the Trump administration deported to El Salvador. Hear about what they endured, in their own words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8INs141xeQ

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

If you read a book this year, im proud of you 🫶🏽 reading and literacy has become an act of rebellion in such an illiterate world

This is extremely important

My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Couldn't agree more. All of these proposals are constitutional, reasonable, and vital. (1/2)

Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

Don’t miss my new piece for @americanprogress.bsky.social on how the Trump admin’s use of interagency agreements is illegal and meant to further dismantle the Department of Education, creating more bureaucracy, not less, and harming schools and students 👇🏼 www.americanprogress.org/article/movi...

The Trump administration's move to unlawfully dismantle the Dept. of Education by moving critical programs to other agencies will cause headaches for students, families, schools, and colleges. Read the new CAP analysis on this below ⬇️ www.americanprogress.org/article/movi...

Great resource on those higher ed programs likely to be flagged as "low earning" in new warnings that will be added to the FAFSA application process.

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

I’ve been thinking about the “we don’t assign books anymore and no one reads” issue in schools. And yes, all the obvious culprits are the things many people have discussed, and yes, teaching more books (or in some cases ANY books) is hugely important if we want to maintain even minimal literacy. 🧵

Red Texas is a leader in renewable energy deployment. The state's solar surge proves that the energy transition defies politics.

This is an excellent read. The more you know. #Science 🧪 “… we were advancing toward elimination of hepatitis B in the United States,” says Ward “I am deeply concerned that if the ACIP rescinds this policy, they’re going to contribute to the spread of hepatitis B rather than its elimination.”

You may have heard that Trump’s extortion of University of California was defeated in court. But do you know who won this historic case? Spoiler: not a single UC administrator participated. It was all faculty members of the UC Faculty Associations and @aaup.org! Cc: @veenadubal.bsky.social

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

When you align with yourself with repressive forces, you are not necessarily protected from their impacts. Republican women in the House of Reps are finding out that leaders of the party that is rolling back women's rights are hostile to women—themselves included. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...

- companies add the Trump family as “advisors” - those companies receive taxpayer-funded contracts and regulatory approvals from the Trump administration - Trump family profits This is their shameless, uncomplicated grift that we need to talk about more popular.info/p/update-tru...

If the SCORE Act is signed into law, women’s sports and scholarships will be eliminated across the country. We’re fighting to make sure that women have more opportunities, not less.

College athletes have made progress in their fight for fair treatment, but the SCORE Act would unravel it. This union-busting bill would empower schools and the NCAA, and diminish the voices of college athletes — opening the door to more exploitation. https://bit.ly/44O9ju3

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

We talked about this in my class. People (& lenders!) need to have credible information about climate risk to their homes. However the way it is done right now, if at all, has lots of uncertainty. A home could be categorized as low-risk when it’s high risk, & vice versa! NOAA should do this service.

Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom: We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor. Some changes that they can look forward to:

Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

No contract, no coffee. We don’t believe in sitting on the sidelines. Join our Transition co-chair @linamkhan.bsky.social , First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan & @sbworkersunited.org at the picket lines.

The original purpose of 529 savings plans was to help families to save for their children's college education. The two Trump tax cut bills (2017 & 2025) allowed 529s to be used for private K-12 tuition, which effectively makes these accounts a vehicle for wealthy tax avoidance. shorturl.at/8DjuI

Right-wing lawmakers wouldn’t be trying to ban ideas, concepts, books, and words if they weren’t powerful.

Wow. Vitale wrote The End of Policing, advocating for community-based solutions for safety instead of policing.

Mom's for Liberty knew they'd catch Dems unaware if they started getting elected to school boards in order to push the book banning/christian nationalist (CN) policies. Glad to see Dems caught on. Often Dems yell about culture wars while the CNs mobilize locally. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

🦃 NEW: Thanksgiving dinner is up 10% this year—more than 3x overall inflation. Families are cutting back or skipping the holiday entirely. The reason? Trump’s policies are driving prices up for the whole meal. Full analysis from Groundwork, TCF, & AFT: go.tcf.org/TurkeyDay
