United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) scored a massive victory this week, finalizing a new contract with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) that will cost the nearly-insolvent district an additional $1.2 billion a year and increase the union's power going forward by expanding the areas in which the union has bargaining rights (AI, subcontracting).

The Atlantic has a well-documented history of publishing fake hit pieces about President Donald Trump and his administration, and one wonders how many more hoaxes they can run before they get in real trouble.

President Trump’s Middle East envoy is headed to Pakistan this week to restart negotiations to end the Iran War, the commander-in-chief told The Post Sunday. “Steve’s going to be going there tomorrow night,” Trump said in a phone call from the White House, confirming that Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will land in Islamabad on Monday night ahead of a second round of peace talks. The president added that Jared Kushner — his son-in-law and a veteran of past Middle East dealmaking — will also be involved with the talks scheduled for Tuesday.
