President Trump “is pushing our country toward an international crisis without valid reasons,” the editorial board writes after the U.S. attack on Venezuela was announced on Saturday. “If Mr. Trump wants to argue otherwise, the Constitution spells out what he must do: Go to Congress.”

The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing. While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too. On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe—on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past.

Workers can regulate AI with strong contract language. Full stop.

Unionized journalists just proved this at POLITICO. @pen-guild.bsky.social
Graphic announcing that NiemanLab reported Politico management violated AI adoption safeguards. Large text reads: “NewsGuild Journalists won their AI arbitration against POLITICO… but why does that matter?” Below is a red button stating “Let’s talk about it.” At the bottom are the logos for The NewsGuild and “News Not Slop.” Graphic explaining the significance of the AI arbitration ruling. Section heading reads: “The ruling marks one of the first major tests of an AI clause in a newsroom union contract.” Social media screenshots quote PEN Guild posts discussing Politico’s use of AI tools and emphasizing that AI isn’t held to human editorial standards. Large red box states that NewsGuild journalists fought for AI protections because robots are not subject to the same editorial rigor. Graphic stating that the Politico arbitration proves union contracts protect workers from unethical AI implementation. A large quote from the US Congressional Research Service notes that no broad federal AI regulatory framework exists. Text below explains that government hasn’t caught up to regulating AI, leaving workers vulnerable to cost-cutting by employers. Graphic with heading “This is a blueprint for workers everywhere.” Text explains that strong contract language on AI at Politico sets a model for all industries facing unregulated AI. Another line reads: “If workers can enforce AI protections here, we can enforce them anywhere.” Below is a photo of a woman holding a megaphone at a labor rally, and a “News Not Slop” block inviting viewers to sign a petition.

Tomorrow's frontpage
Front page of The New York Times, dated Wednesday, November 5, 2025. The headline reads: “Mamdani Is Elected Mayor, Capping Ascent.” Sub-headline: “First Muslim to Lead the City — A Triumph for Progressives.” Large central photo shows Zohra Mamdani smiling and walking outside among supporters and press, with cameras and phones pointed toward him. He is wearing a white shirt, black blazer, and campaign button, holding papers and waving. A crowd surrounds him, some taking pictures. Caption beneath: “New York City — Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday. The Democratic mayoral nominee defeated Andrew M. Cuomo and other candidates.” On the left bottom corner, another photo shows Mikie Sherrill hugging a supporter in New Jersey after winning a governor’s race. On the right bottom corner, a photo of Abigail Spanberger clapping on stage in Virginia after her gubernatorial win. Article text highlights Mamdani’s historic election as New York City's first Muslim mayor, his progressive platform, strong support from immigrant and working-class communities, and comparisons with former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whom he defeated. Mentions national implications, turnout from South Asian and Muslim voters, his housing and social safety net policies, and broader Democratic wins nationwide. Weather and NYT slogan appear at the top; price listed as $4.00.
