On Giving Tuesday, I have a suggestion: Check out my holiday giving guide recommending 3 superb nonprofits -- two overseas and one in the US. They do heroic work, and @bloombergdotorg.bsky.social is matching donations, so your donations get more bang for the buck. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/o...

"Under the law of armed conflict, a wounded person clinging to debris is... protected under the Geneva Conventions. Deliberately targeting such a person is not a tactical decision. It is a potential war crime."
@markhertling.bsky.social on Hegseth and the problem of moral corrosion in the military.
Education struggles in the US, yet both parties put it on the back burner. An @nytopinion.nytimes.com editorial discusses this and offers a way for readers to step up, through the @nytimes.com communities fund to support 7 outstanding nonprofits. I'll be donating: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/o...

One of the most odious episodes of the first Trump administration was family separation, ripping kids from migrant parents (and in some cases losing them). Now family separation is back, @propublica reports: www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Just kidding, CBS wasn't settling a lawsuit. They were paying a bribe and they knew it.
Eleventh Circuit throws out Trump's suit against CNN in a per curiam unpublished ruling. Meaning Trump's arguments were totally meritless, not even worthy of a published opinion. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

President Trump speaks of making America great again, but my column argues that instead he is systematically undermining the three key ingredients to the formula that over the last 150 years made the US the world's leading economy: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/o...

America rose to preeminence because of three pillars that President Trump is now systematically undermining. We're so consumed by the daily outrages that I'm not sure we focus enough on the risk that Trump's long-term legacy will be a substantially diminished USA. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/o...
