2:47 PMGet this guy a teddy bear: A blubbering bigot is suing the New York Times for $50 million over the paper’s refusal to call the Israel-Hamas war a “genocide.” Timothy Murphy of Manhattan claims this causes him to “cry himself to sleep” every night. • The lawsuit claims there’s a secret memo from Times editors, “in order to deceive the public about Israel's genocide,” forbidding them to use the word genocide. • There is no genocide in Gaza other than the ardent desire by its residents to do one on Jews. But Murphy insists there is. His attorney wrote that he “cried himself to sleep on numerous occasions and was wrought by insomnia on others,” adding that he “had compromised health through stress and a profound feeling of helplessness.” • Along with $50 million, Murphy also demands that the paper place a warning label on top of any “censored” article about the Gaza war. "Similar to the tobacco companies, a warning on the top of any censored article [should state] "WARNING: PROPAGANDA" or "WARNING: MISINFORMATION," the lawsuit declares.

5:34 PMNEWS EXPLAINER: Opposition Seeks to Oust Knesset Speaker Before Forming New Government: • Israel’s opposition is moving to replace Knesset Speaker Amir Ochana, a Likud member and close ally of PM Netanyahu, in an effort to gain control of parliament even before forming a new government. Background: • Opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot has received the mandate to form the next government, but his bloc currently holds only 48 seats, short of the 61 needed for a majority. • By joining forces with the two Arab-led parties, which hold a combined 19 seats, the opposition could potentially secure enough votes to replace Ochana. What's the goal? • A new speaker would give the opposition greater control over parliamentary proceedings and allow it to advance legislation Netanyahu has blocked, including a state commission of inquiry into the October 7 massacre and legislation imposing term limits on the prime minister. Where do things stand? • Eisenkot and Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman have reportedly agreed that the next speaker should come from Eisenkot’s Yashar party, although the arrangement still requires approval from the other opposition leaders, Naftali Bennett and Yair Golan. Yair Lapid had previously been floated for the position. Opposition: • However, United Torah Judaism (UTJ) chairman Yaakov Asher rejected an appeal to support the move, insisting that the speaker should only be replaced when a new government is formed. Although UTJ has broken with Netanyahu, its seven seats could be important in the broader effort to establish a new governing majority. • Unlike the Arab-led parties, Shas has not announced that it will vote to remove Ochana. Reports indicate it is not expected to support the move. What's next? • If the Charedi parties don't join the move, the opposition can still get rid of Ohana with just the Arab votes, but such a move would be politically tough. • The opposition is seeking an early vote at Tuesday’s inaugural Knesset session. Replacing Ochana would require 61 votes, potentially allowing the opposition to take control of the parliamentary agenda before it has secured the numbers to form a government.

Damages are estimated at tens of millions of euros. • Similar attacks were reported in Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Estonia and Ireland in early November.

7:34 PMThe real genocide taking place in Iran: If the widespread killing of civilians is a genocide, as leftists and Muslims led by Iran claim, then the real genocide is taking place in Iran. About 80% of all death penalty cases last year were perpetrated by the Iranian regime, mostly against innocent protesters. • The number of documented executions worldwide has risen to a level not seen since 1981, and a majority of the increase came from Iran. At least 2,707 people were executed globally in 2025 — not counting China, which has put thousands of people to death secretly. This marked a 78% increase from 2024. • Iran was responsible for at least 2,159 executions, more than double the previous year. The remaining executions took place in 16 countries: Saudi Arabia (356), Yemen (51), United States (47), Egypt (23), Somalia (17), Kuwait (17), Singapore (17), Afghanistan (6), United Arab Emirates (3), and one each in Japan, South Sudan and Taiwan. • The Gaza “health ministry” claims about 1,600 Gazans were killed in the fighting against Israel since October of last year, or nearly half what Iran genocided.

9:01 PMMore reporting out on Biden’s decline: The new paperback version of “Original Sin,” by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, is out tomorrow and it has some new reporting on former President Joe Biden’s mental decline. • In 2024, in the heat of his reelection race, Biden forgot that Bob Dole, his longtime Senate colleague, had died three years before. That’s despite Biden having “delivered a nationally televised, roughly eighteen-minute eulogy for him at the Washington National Cathedral in December 2021,” the duo write. On another occasion, Biden seemed to think his son Beau, who died in 2015, was still alive and fighting cancer. • Biden is publishing his own book next week, though in a statement yesterday he said he will limit his interviews and book signings due to cancer.

If it prices at the midpoint, Anthropic will raise $61 billion in its IPO.

Three years after canceling the requirement to take the Regents exam, the board now says that high school students must take it — but they don’t have to pass them to get a diploma. • At a board meeting Monday, federal officials said that the state risked violating federal law if students don’t take assessments in four subjects — English, math, social studies and science. So the board voted to continue administering the Regents exams as it works on a new assessment system it aims to introduce in 2030. • The board had nixed the tests in 2024 over complaints that it burdens minority students or those who don’t speak English fluently. It was supposed to have gone into effect this year but they have yet to announce what it will replace it with.

Since then, all trace of him has been lost, despite herculean efforts to find him. • The details, published in Ami Magazine, also revealed that when Moishy would have turned 18, the National Insurance Institute’s automated system began sending the family bills, debt notices and fines in his name for unpaid insurance fees. • The IDF Spokesperson’s Office responded that draft notices are automatically sent to all eligible candidates upon reaching 18. When a candidate fails to report, officers are dispatched to the registered home address. The IDF said that once the officers arrived and understood the painful circumstances, they left. The army added that it hopes and prays that the family will soon find him.
