The selections of Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz, and Elise Stefanik to senior foreign-policy posts in the incoming administration offer significant signals that Trump 2 is not going to follow the neo-isolationist hopes and dreams of the Tucker Carlson crowd. What will this mean for Ukraine, and what does it say about the Jewish vote? Give a listen.

Native America Calling - Tuesday, November 12, 2024 — New Caledonia at a crossroads
Tensions are high in New Caledonia as the remote Pacific island nation's Indigenous people are pushing for independence more than 170 years after the island was colonized by France. At least 13 people have died in protests triggered in May when the French government attempted to institute voting changes that would bolster the political power of New Caledonia's white settler communities at the expense of the Indigenous Kanak people. There's been little progress in the four decades after the Kanak tried to force better recognition from New Caledonia's political leaders aligned with Paris. It's a fight that has parallels to current and past struggles by Indigenous people in North America and elsewhere. CBS News Roundup - 11/12/2024 | World News Roundup
More key Trump nominations with Marco Rubio expected for Secretary of State. Planes hit by gunfire in Haiti. Verdict in IN teen deaths. CBS News Correspondent Steve Kathan has today's World News Roundup.

The Intelligence from The Economist - Parting Scholz: what next for Germany?
At a time when Russia is making gains in Ukraine and Donald Trump has been re-elected as president, Europe needs strong leadership. Instead, Germany’s ruling coalition has collapsed. A study that hinted at racism among white doctors in America may have been flawed (9:18). And the wondrous revival of King’s Cross in London (17:23).

Honestly with Bari Weiss - Resistance or Opposition: Which Route Should the Democrats Take?
Even your most optimistic Mar-a-Lago member didn’t see Donald Trump winning the popular vote and taking all seven swing states. He even came within five points of taking the Democratic stronghold of New Jersey!
So, what on earth does the Democratic Party do next?
They can stay the course and resist. It’s what they did the last time Trump won.
In the aftermath of Trump’s 2016 victory, America was stunned. Every time he opened his mouth, Trump exploded political norms, and the Democratic Party responded in kind. Being a mere opposition party—at least at that moment for the Democrats—was not strong enough for this situation they believed. Instead they needed to become a resistance.
And while Democrats won in 2020, the resistance ultimately did not work. Democrats spent a decade telling Americans that Trump was an existential threat, yet Americans didn’t care. The Democrats’ goal was to scrub Trump from future history. Instead, he now controls it.
Democrats need to look inward if they want to have a shot at winning in 2028. They need to act like an opposition, not a resistance.
Today, Ei Lake explains why this will require a different approach, but one for which there is already a template. He tells the story of how a few centrist renegades saved the Democrats from oblivion 40 years ago. In 1984, after Ronald Reagan’s 525–13 Electoral College landslide over Walter Mondale, the Democrats were not just in disarray—they were on life support. And yet, eight years later, they found their savior: a young governor from Arkansas named Bill Clinton. And they remade their party.
