WorkJake Paul Beat Mike Tyson - Vulture (No paywall)This confirms were in the darkest timeline. YouTuber turned fighter Jake Paul won the fight against Mike Tyson.

WorkWhat Russia and Ukraine Want from a Second Trump Presidency - The New Yorker (No paywall)Eight years ago, after the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, the mood in Moscow was one of lucky disbelief. In Donald Trump, Russian officials saw a transactional businessman who spoke in the language of national interests, not valuesVladimir Putins kind of leader. Margarita Simonyan, the head of RT, the Russian state channel, declared that she would drive around the streets of Moscow waving an American flag. A nationalist politician threw a party in the offices of the Duma, with champagne toasts. For Russia, however, Trumps first term turned out to be a disappointment: the U.S. introduced more sanctions, expelled Russian diplomats, closed Russian consulates across the U.S., and delivered antitank Javelin missiles to Ukraine. WorkWorkTrump Signals a 'Seismic Shift,' Shocking the Washington EstablishmentHe has chosen a weekend morning television host with a history of defending convicted war criminals while sporting a Christian Crusader tattoo that has been adopted as a symbol by the far right to run the most powerful armed forces in the history of the world.

WorkThe Middlemen Linking Migrants in the U.S. to Your Shopping CartBut despite the tough talk, the broken border has been a lifeline for America’s on-demand economy under both Democratic and Republican administrations, including Mr. Trump’s first term, an investigation by The New York Times found. Thousands of companies have exploited its porousness by plucking workers from the ranks of unauthorized migrants, sometimes with impunity. WorkBiden's Policies Offer a Starting Point for Trump's Border CrackdownAs chaotic scenes emerged of migrants crowding at the border, Republicans like Mr. Trump argued that the Democrats were unable to govern and protect American cities, and they urged a crackdown on immigration.

WorkHow to Stop a Late-in-Life Divorce From Ruining Your RetirementMs. Solomon has plenty of company. While divorce rates in the United States have generally been falling, they have doubled for people over age 50 since the 1990s and tripled among those over 65, according to a 2022 study from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. Longer life expectancies and a rise in older women working, which makes divorce more feasible economically, are helping to drive the trend. All told, nearly 40 percent of divorces now involve someone who qualifies for AARP membership. WorkOpinion | EnoughMr. Trump painted the United States as a dark and foreboding place, festering with immigrants and criminality. A place where good, “normal” Americans have been forgotten as unchecked progress reshapes the world they want — a white, middle-class, heterosexual world — into something inhospitable and unrecognizable. Mr. Trump lacks vision because he lacks imagination and empathy.
