In the posts, Trump casts immigrants as dangerous and draining public resources. Trump wrote that he would, quote, permanently pause migration from all third world countries and terminate millions of Biden immigrant admissions. Trump also said he wants to denaturalize certain immigrants and quote, deport any foreign national who is a public charge security risk or non compatible with Western civilization. In the post, Trump also referred to Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz using a crude ableist slur, and referred to Minnesota Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar, who is Muslim, as quote, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab. Trump finished by writing, quote, only reverse migration can fully cure this situation. Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR News.

As part of the deal to end the government shutdown, Senate Majority Leader John Thune agreed to hold a vote by mid December on legislation to extend Affordable Care act tax credits that phase out on December 31st. Some Republicans support renewing these subsidies but want to add income caps to limit who can qualify. Even if a bipartisan deal clears the Senate, it's unclear whether House Speaker Mike Johnson would allow a vote. Many conservatives oppose any extension. Unless Congress acts quickly, more than 20 million Americans will see spikes in health care premiums. Deirdre Walsh, NPR News.

The Grand Ole Opry kicked off with an elderly fiddler named Uncle Jimmy Thompson, who recorded this a few years later. Over the years, the Grand Ole Opry would host powerhouse country performers Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Hank Williams, who debuted on the fabled Ryman Auditorium stage. Johnny Cash met his wife, June Carter, there. Even after a move to the Grand Ole Opry House, it was a spiritual home to performers like Bill Monroe and his bluegrass boys performing there in 1985, the same year the Grand Ole Opry started broadcasting shows on pbs. It remains a central tourist attraction for Nashville, a city the Opry helped to place on the musical map. Netta Ulibi, NPR News.
