So the University of Texas at Austin neither signed Trump's higher-ed compact nor rejected it. The deadline passed and UT just did not respond: www.texastribune.org/2025/11/17/u...

Messing around with Bloomberg's vessel mapping function and....not a lot of ships cruising the placid waters of Venezuela!
I count two oil tankers and a chemical ship. Every other trackable vessel appears crammed into the port of Caracas (the light blue clump)

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

How does a reporter do a catch-and-kill operation without paying off a source? I suppose Nuzzi could sit on an unflattering story instead of reporting it out for New York but catch-and-kill is something different and worse.

Q: Why did you fly here? Aren't trains greener?
