Isaac Chotiner called just to wish me a happy Thanksgiving, but then he ended up asking a bunch of questions about this thread. We talked for almost an hour, he seemed really impressed with how I think and my other opinions about food. Really neat.

Zohran Mamdani chastised a Manhattan synagogue that hosted an event promoting migration to Israel and settlements in occupied territories. His stance further tested his strained relationship with pro-Israel Jews in New York.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

"A growing body of research suggests that minimum wages distort economies in ways that do not immediately appear in jobs numbers."
Maybe The Economist should focus on how tech companies with inflated valuations distort economies instead of targeting low income folks.
