US may consider offering asylum to British Jews amid concerns about antisemitism in the UK
US officials are reportedly discussing whether to offer asylum to Jewish people from Britain, amid claims that rising antisemitism has made the UK unsafe for Jewish worshippers. Robert Garson, described as President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, said he has spoken with the State Department about the idea and criticised Prime Minister Keir Starmer and UK authorities for failing to curb antisemitic incidents and protests since October 7. Surveys and monitoring groups cited in the report indicate widespread concern among Jewish Britons and a high number of recorded antisemitic incidents.

Dave Bossie: One Year Into His Second Term, Trump Says He Is Overhauling Washington’s Status Quo
In “DAVE BOSSIE: One Year Since Taking Office, Trump Is Decimating Failed DC Status Quo,” David Bossie argues that President Donald Trump’s first year back in office has reversed what he describes as major Biden-Harris failures. He credits Trump with tightening border enforcement and deportations, pursuing federal spending cuts and anti-fraud investigations, reshaping the federal bureaucracy, and adopting a more assertive national security posture.

Young U.S. College Graduates Are No Longer Finding Jobs Faster Than High School Graduates
Research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland finds that the job-finding rate for young college-educated workers has fallen to roughly match that of young high school graduates, suggesting the long-standing advantage in securing initial employment has faded. The shift follows recent labor data showing rising unemployment among college-educated workers and a 9.2% unemployment rate for ages 20–24 in September, up 2.2 percentage points from a year earlier, amid slower white-collar hiring. Researchers note that college graduates still tend to have higher pay and greater job stability once hired, and they attribute the convergence largely to long-term trends such as growing numbers of degree holders rather than to recent developments like AI.
