Caregiving services for seniors can easily cost more each year than what the average American makes. And health insurers, both government and private, may not provide the coverage people need.
That leads many people to step in and do the work for free. But caregivers need to take care of themselves, too.
That's something Dawnita Brown knows all too well, as a caregiver to both her parents, and founder of The Binti Circle. It's a group she founded for Black daughters like her who are doing caregiving work.

The Daily Signal - Victor Davis Hanson: Don’t Ignore This—Hitler Revisionism Is Growing Online
“Nazi.” “Hitler.” The smears have been used against conservatives for generations—but something new is happening.
Victor Davis Hanson warns that a small, vocal corner of the Right is beginning to flirt with World War II revisionism and even speak favorably about aspects of Nazism. He explains what the Nazi Party truly was, the destruction it unleashed, and why these comparisons—and this revisionism—must be confronted immediately on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
“For the first time in all of our lives, we are seeing people openly, overtly—not very many, but they have a larger audience, it seems, every couple of months—who defend Nazism and the horrors that followed from Adolf Hitler's career. And so, it's very incumbent upon us that we know what the Nazis were, when they rose, what they caused, how we defeated them, and how an American elected president or mainstream political figures, even if we don't agree with them, are not Nazis, are not Hitler-like. That is a given.”

The Gist - Fareed Zakaria on Revolutions, Backlashes, and the High Cost of Not Fixing Immigration
Fareed Zakaria joins the show to discuss The Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present, arguing that the past 30 years of globalization, AI, and cultural upheaval rival the Industrial Revolutions in their political consequences. He makes the case that today's populist surges—from Sweden to the U.S.—are driven less by economics than by immigration-fueled cultural anxiety, and that Democrats' failure to manage the border gave Trump his strongest 2.0 issue. Plus: the top of the show digs into the Federal Government's error-riddled Texas redistricting defense—complete with "sh*ts and gingles."

WSJ What’s News - Americans Are Looking for Deals. That’s Good News for Walmart.
P.M. Edition for Nov. 20. Walmart reported strong quarterly earnings and raised its outlook for the year as shoppers across income levels look for value. Plus, a delayed jobs report showed that the U.S. labor market added more jobs than expected in September, but that and strong earnings from Nvidia didn’t assuage jittery investors. WSJ markets reporter Hannah Erin Lang discusses what’s driving today’s market reversal. And a preliminary report into the deadly UPS cargo plane crash earlier this month found signs of metal fatigue and stress in a piece that connected the plane’s left engine to the wing. Alex Ossola hosts.
