Both rappers released diss tracks that took blistering personal shots on Friday night. "He doesn't have the heart for the lying, disrespect, and animosity it requires to make an effective diss track," Pierre wrote. Later in the track, Drake references Cole's diss track and apology. At the end of the track, Lamar samples a 1994 Tupac interview to simulate a conversation between the two rappers. "6:16 in LA" also parodies Drake's song titles, which often feature location names and timestamps.

There’s the day to day admin, the glad-handing of donors, and, crucially, keeping internal fires from becoming public, violent conflagrations. That last one is a public relations lesson, one on which Columbia’s president might need a refresher. In doing so, Columbia’s leadership threw out the playbook for managing protests that universities have honed for decades to keep students safe. To be sure, Columbia’s president, Minouche Shafik, knows her job could be on the line. Meanwhile, thousands of students, parents and alumni are about to descend on Columbia’s campus for commencement, adding more pressure to remove protesters.

President Biden’s behind-the-scenes crisis management appears to have helped stop a wider war from igniting in the Middle East — for now. But that tactical win for the administration is actually part of its much larger strategic failure in the region. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu didn’t heed the order, but Israel’s response was so muted that Tehran effectively ignored it. Mr. Netanyahu’s minister of national security called it “lame.”Mr. Biden deserves credit for orchestrating this crucial de-escalation. Instead, he has followed Mr. Netanyahu’s lead, even as Israel has put vengeance over interest.

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen (L) shakes hands with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng during a meeting at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing on July 8, 2023. WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will host her Chinese counterpart, Vice Premier He Lifeng, for two days of "intensive diplomacy" in San Francisco on Nov. 9-10, the Treasury Department announced Monday. The groups will "provide ongoing channels for our teams to drill into the substance of economic and financial policy issues," Yellen wrote in the Post. "In certain sectors, these unfair practices have resulted in the overconcentration of the production of critical goods inside China," Yellen wrote, but added that a "private-sector pullback" from China would trigger disorder. "Diverse supply chains are necessary in a volatile world; decoupling our economies would be economically disastrous and run counter to our national interests," Yellen wrote.

Xi similarly met with Blinken in June when the secretary of State traveled to Beijing for talks with Wang.
