Some of my earliest memories are in the lousy station wagons my father bought to transport our family of seven around. We were always breaking down at night on the Garden State Parkway or the Connecticut Turnpike. But when I got older, my dad started buying cool cars. I remember a 1975 Toyota Celica and a 1978 Datsun 280Z.

And what if more Americans refuse to get their kids vaccinated or if our public health institutions are shut down? Trust in scientists, physicians and science itself — amongst all demographic groups — is still higher than Americans’ trust in, say, elected officials or journalists. The public health workforce has declined by half over the past two years, according to research from Harvard T.H. Data-sharing efforts like Connecticut’s DataHaven show how urban neighborhoods can be involved in gathering and analyzing health data. By combining facts with stories, we can share tangible examples of how science and public health protect us, thereby increasing trust.

☆ Why it pays a lot less to switch jobs right now: ‘That new-hire glow is fading’

At the height of the "great resignation," many new hires could expect to double their salaries or receive generous sign-on bonuses. But landing a new job today doesn't pay off like it did only a year ago. Lower quit rates, increasing labor supply and falling worker demand could all be to blame for slowing wage growth this year, says Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP. Some industries have been hit harder than others: For new hires in finance, pay growth has been at a "literal standstill" since July, says Richardson. As Richardson cautions: "That new-hire glow — contentment fueled largely by big pay increases — is fading fast."

The new book, "The Fund: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates, and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend" — which Dalio and his lawyers have pushed back against — describes everything from Bridgewater's investment process to internal grudges and backstabbing to allegations of sexual harassment. Here are the places where the dozens of Bridgewater employees and consultants named in the book ended up. Dalio, the book said, wrote into the firm's bylaws that he could never hold that title again. Before that, she was the head of investment research and a co-chief investment officer for sustainability.

The 118th Congress, which took an initial step to punt funding deadlines to the winter, looked more like a fourth grade class on a day that will further erode trust in government ahead of next year’s elections. Across Capitol Hill in the world’s so-called greatest deliberative body, Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin was spoiling for a prize fight. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, however, suggested that policing the Capitol was beyond even his wily capacity to enforce discipline within his conference. And only in the malfunctioning Congress would a speaker try to prevent one government shutdown by laying the possible path for two others.

Washington CNN —A group of US senators is demanding that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg hand over troves of emails and documents that could show how the company handled the knowledge that its platforms could harm the mental health of teens. The company didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the letter. Meta spokesman Andy Stone said that the company is in touch with the members who signed the letter. The letter further accuses Meta of showing an “apparent willful disregard” for young people’s well-being, of “misrepresentations to Congress” and of “profiting from threats” to user safety. The letter requests a response by Nov. 30 and calls for Meta to provide its correspondence related to Bejar’s warnings to executives, as well as senior leaders’ own correspondence with Zuckerberg about proposed investments in user well-being.

The House on Tuesday voted in favor of a stopgap measure to keep the government funded, with Democrats propelling it to passage after conservative opposition put its approval in jeopardy.

They added that House Republicans should work with Democrats on the full-year spending bills going forward. Political Cartoons on Congress View All 272 ImagesFor Democrats, the measure fostered some initial skepticism, with an unusual two-step timeline put forward by the House Freedom Caucus.

Congress now appears likely to avoid a government shutdown this week. The White House even weighed in over the weekend before House Democrats started to warm up to Johnson's plan. Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas didn't stop Obamacare. And Republican Sen. Rand Paul's colleagues tore into him after he forced a brief shutdown in 2018.

The move could head off the Washington holiday-season tradition of shutdown dramas and mammoth all-encompassing spending bills.

The website advertised “models” – pictured on the sites in underwear in provocative poses – for photographers to hire, the affidavit says. Junmyung, investigators say, was born in Korea and is in the US on a student visa, which started in 2018.

And for newly minted Speaker Mike Johnson, the fight ahead marks a major test – and one that foretold his predecessor’s loss of the gavel. Instead, to the frustration of a handful of House Republicans who have already expressed opposition to the measure, it extends current funding levels set under former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It’s nearly the same set of circumstances that tested former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy just months ago – and precipitated his ouster, posing a major test for the new speaker. Adding to Johnson’s difficulties was a commitment from House Democrats to oppose anything but a clean continuing resolution. But lawmakers ultimately coalesced around a last-minute House continuing resolution that angered House conservatives and dealt McCarthy his final blow.

Luckily, there are a few ways judges can stop his delay tactics, if they are willing to apply them. Cannon is the Florida federal judge presiding over the case examining whether Trump mishandled classified documents at his Florida home. In this way, if judges apply the usual court process, Trump can keep the cases marching in place for years — until after the 2024 election in particular.
