Let’s hope everyone is at least well-dressed amid everything.
We all can remember the days when thanking the flight crew and dressing up for your flight was just the bare minimum.
Let’s bring back the Golden Age of travel, America!🇺🇸✈️

New: A month after reporter Jake Pearson published his investigation into DraftKings, he got an email. “Upon review your account has been closed at DraftKings’ discretion,” the message read. propub.li/4iQS6q7

In "Promise Me, America,” Joe Biden is as stubbornly in denial as ever. And that assessment risks making the memoir sound more interesting than it is. newyorker.com/books/page-tur…

Biden’s ever-present grief over Beau is clear in his book. He writes:
“if Robert Hur wants to know when my son died, here’s my answer: Today. I wake up every day feeling like I just lost him a minute ago.”

The @FAAnews issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them.

Paul Barringer was exercising in the dark on Election Night when he heard whooping coming from near his house. He thought it was coyotes. In reality, it was his family and friends running out to tell him he’d won his race for Congress in a Trump +17 district.

uhm, i didn’t have a bat mitzvah.
- I was at @MonicaLewinsky’s Bat Mitzvah and her third candle at the party was for her handler.
She cleverly and cutely rhymed squad with Mossad.

Sanders endorses Chris Van Hollen for Senate majority leader:
Azi™️ retweeted
This is a win-win for Van Hollen — he becomes a release valve for (pretty widespread!) Dem voter anger at/frustration with Schumer, so either he is successful & dethrones Schumer or he falls short & burnishes his anti-establishment credentials ahead of a possible presidential run

I cover Mexico for The New York Times, and there is no such "invasion."
About 1,500 people recently began walking north from the southern tip of Mexico — weeks away from the United States — and very few, if any, will reach the northern border.
Over the past two years, the Mexican government has repeatedly broken up these small caravans within days of them starting. And there have been far fewer of them since Trump took office.
The reality is the number of illegal border crossings remain near historic lows.

Scott Bessent's take on the midterms at Heritage's The Forum:
"A lot of these Democrats who won in what are red seats — maybe there was a protest vote, maybe we didn’t have a great candidate — but I think the Democrats are renting the seats. And I think we do the right thing, we’re going to get on the other side of this Iran conflict, prices are going to come back down. I think the trajectory is good."
Washington Spirit, DC's women's soccer team, is in the semi-finals. Game quickly scheduled for Saturday @ Audi Field.
The Secretaries Cup, college football game b/w Merchant Marine & Coast Guard academies, had been scheduled there too.
Solution?
Soccer @ 12. Football @ 4:30.

The Trump admins immigration crackdown has reshaped life for many immigrants. But on Long Island, it’s spurred a quieter unease among Latinos about an unavoidable requirement: driving.
Some are even starting to carry around copies of their passports.

First time I can recall seeing @wsj publish the same article in print twice. On consecutive pages. Even the pull-quote is the same.
