[b]Trump said he would fix Joe Biden’s inflation mess. The economy is worse now.[/b]
“Much heralded by the White House, the study found that tariffs reduce inflation. Ignored by the White House, the same study found tariffs reduce inflation by causing an economic slowdown and an increase in unemployment. 
Stated very simply in the report’s page one abstract, the bank found, “that a tariff hike raises unemployment (lowers economic activity) and lowers inflation.” 
For those keeping score at home, Verizon just announced a 15,000-person layoff. Amazon is cutting 14,000 employees. UPS is cutting 48,000 positions. Intel is reducing its workforce. Nestle will cut 16,000 jobs globally. Target is reducing employees. IBM, American Airlines, General Motors, Meta, Accenture, Bosch, Starbucks, Ford, and others also have all announced layoffs in the past few months. 
Some are related to AI efficiencies. Others are directly related to reductions in demand, particularly in the automotive and airline industries.”

[b]Vindman demands release of Trump-Mohammed bin Salman call after Khashoggi murder: ‘You will be shocked’.[/b]
“Rep. Eugene Vindman (D-Va.), who served on the National Security Council (NSC) in the first Trump administration, called on President Trump to release the transcript of a “shocking” phone call that took place with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the aftermath of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination.
Vindman — who played a key role in exposing details of Trump’s infamous call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2019 — said a second phone call exists with the Saudi crown prince that rivals the first as “the most problematic.”

[b]Lawmakers react with bipartisan disgust to the Coast Guard's policy change removing hate symbol status from swastikas and nooses.[/b]
“Even Republican senators expressed skepticism about the reclassification. Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) told reporters the policy change “seems ill-advised,” while Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) said “that would not seem to be something I agree with”.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) called the move “incomprehensible and utterly antithetical to basic norms and values,” while Sen. Angela Alsobrooks (D-MD) described the policy as “ludicrous but consistent with what we’ve seen,” adding that “every week we see a further decline away from what is human, right, justice and decent”.

[b]TACO Time: Trump administration reverses, wants to join G20 summit: South African president.[/b]
“The administration’s last-minute pivot to join the summit comes after months of tense relations between the U.S. and South Africa, in part due to President Trump’s claims that the country is discriminating against white Afrikaner farmers. 
Trump again repeated these claims in early November, when he announced the U.S. would be boycotting the G20 summit being held this weekend.”

[b]DOJ, FBI probing top Trump officials over investigations of president's foes: Sources.[/b]
“In what would be an extraordinary breach of DOJ protocol, Martin is also believed to have shared sensitive grand jury information about the James case with at least one unauthorized individual as well as worked with another person from outside the federal government to examine potential evidence in the Schiff and James probes, sources familiar with the matter said.
At least one witness in the Schiff investigation has received a grand jury subpoena to hand over any correspondence with Martin's associates as well as with Pulte himself, sources told ABC News.
Senior Trump administration officials have expressed concerns that the potential misconduct may have compromised the investigations and jeopardized the viability of the cases if they proceed to trial.”
