Broken windows theory but for airport pants
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Could argue the misogyny Summers expressed both publicly while president of Harvard and in emails to Epstein says more about the culture at our most elite institutions than any of the frontpage freakouts over academia in the past few years but hey

Video of a daycare raid in Chicago went viral last week, showing armed federal agents dragging a teacher from Rayito de Sol Spanish Immersion Early Learning Center as children watched in terror.
To the families at the daycare, the scene was a show of force that shattered their sense of safety.

I still can't get over that a million Russians have died attacking Ukraine. Per Wikipedia that's about 4x as many US soldiers and allies died in the entirety of the Vietnam War. In 3 years.

The White House says that key inflation and jobs data for October will “likely never” be released due to the government shutdown.
The last time a shutdown delayed a jobs report was in October 2013, when the report was delayed by a few weeks.

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Truly nothing the Times enjoys more than platforming a fascist
As the Trump administration ramps up its crackdown on illegal immigration, it has turned to Gregory Bovino, a Border Patrol official, to try to increase deportations. On "The Daily," our reporter spoke with Bovino about why his militaristic approach may be here to stay.
Listen to "The Daily."
