Congratulations are in order to The Nation for being a thorn in the side of authoritarianism for 160 years. I was disappointed, however, that there was no mention of The Nation's reporting on the Alger Hiss case (which, thanks to Carey McWilliams and Victor Navasky, is part of the magazine's legacy) and the publication this year of evidence establishing his innocence.

Democrats' latest fault lines do not track perfectly along the familiar split between progressives and centrists. Instead, there's renewed rancor over how aggressively to fight President Donald Trump and his compliant GOP majorities on Capitol Hill, with some progressives renewing their calls for Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer to step aside, even as he publicly opposes the latest deal.

My daughter was trying to open her eyes. She was struggling to breathe, Veraza told reporters at a press conference Sunday, a day after an operation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the store.

There's a bunch of craziness and what really seems to me like a bunch of crazy failure that is unfolding this week on the legal front, specifically, what appears to be some really bad lawyering inside the Trump administration. A bunch of these things is about to come sort of to a head all at once, all over the course of this week. And I want to know what it means and how it might change things going forward. Let me explain.

Pulte has gained notoriety in recent months for leading the crusade against several Trump political enemies including; Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and New York Attorney General Letitia James publicly accusing them of mortgage fraud. To date, only James has been criminally charged, and even the strength of that case has been called into question by legal analysts.

For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU.

Air travelers could face more frustration as busy U.S. airports need to meet a higher Federal Aviation Administration target for reducing flights Tuesday after already canceling thousands to scale back demands on the nation's aviation system during the government shutdown. The FAA ordered domestic airlines last week to drop 4% of their flights at 40 major U.S. airports, saying absences and signs of stress among traffic controllers made it imperative to act in the name of public safety.

President Donald Trump took a sudden swipe at France on Monday during an interview with US broadcaster Fox News, saying "we've had a lot of problems with the French." Fox News presenter Laura Ingraham questioned the US president on the enrolment of Chinese students at US universities, saying, "they're not the French, they're the Chinese. They spy on us. They steal our intellectual property." But Trump abruptly cut in to respond, saying: "Do you think the French are better, really? I will tell you, I'm not so sure."

After yesterday's monster rally, the S&P 500 is down about 19 points at the moment. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF ( SPY) is also down about $1.82. Dow futures are up about 19, with the NASDAQ down about 116, especially with Nvidia ( NASDAQ: NVDA) and CoreWeave ( NASDAQ: CRWV) under pressure. Nvidia is down a few points in premarket after SoftBank sold its entire stake in the chipmaker for about $5 billion.

Here's another that aired Sunday night: correspondent Bill Whitaker reported on Trump's battles with elite universities over accusations of liberal bias and antisemitism. He has threatened to cut their federal funding for research. If Trump were to follow through on more of those threats, it could jeopardize research into potentially life-saving advances in medicine and severely limit scientific progress. Harvard scientist Don Ingber told Whitaker, "We are truly putting the brakes on scientific innovation in this country at a time when our ostensible adversary, China, is going faster and faster and faster."

Those crimes included putting his live-in nanny in a headlock, grabbing her breast and forcing her hand onto her genitals in February; menacing a nurse at Mount Sinai South Hospital in January by swinging an IV pole at her and threatening to fing kill her; menacing and grabbing the arm of a congregant of a synagogue in May; and repeatedly evading bridge tolls while driving a Lamborghini and Ferrari.

The dollar index held steady on Tuesday, as markets awaited confirmation that the US government shutdown could soon end.

Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

Is the key to making homeownership more affordable just giving buyers more time? That's the pitch from President Donald Trump, who proposed creating a 50-year mortgage. The social media post touting the idea also got a cosign from Federal Housing Finance Agency director Bill Pulte. He said a 50-year mortgage is being worked on and would be "a complete game changer."

Eloy Detention Center lies nine miles east of Interstate 10 in Arizona, amid a patchwork of windswept mesquite scrub, solar farms, and alfalfa and cotton fields, with the jagged ridgeline of the Picacho Mountains visible to the southeast. Beyond the truckers chapel and the sign at the cornerCoreCivic: We're Hiringacres of ruddy, bare dirt surround a cluster of austere buildings linked by concrete walkways.

After failing to unseat Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Marine veteran and lawyer John Deaton is now the first Republican to launch a run for Sen. Ed Markey 's seat, he announced at an event in Worcester Monday night. "Our leaders should be doing their jobs to help Massachusetts families, but they're all career politicians, and they're failing," Deaton says in a new campaign video, as Warren, Markey, and Markey primary challenger Rep. Seth Moulton span the screen.

Our competition is actually political. The woke left and the woke right wake up every day, figuring out how they can hurt Palantir. And if they get into power, they'll hurt Palantir.

The board was demanding that I compromise my integrity and values. I would not do that, Landreth wrote. I stand by my values and my reputation as a professional administrator for the past 25 years. Landreth wrote that the board of directors demanded she take actions she said would have harmed her professional and personal reputation, which she refused to carry out, but did not specify what those actions were.
