American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten, commenting on the nomination of Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education, said the organization will work with her or anyone "who puts the aspirations of our students, families, and communities first."

"That means strengthening public education, not undermining it," Weingarten posted on X Wednesday while sharing her statement about the nomination. "Voters made it clear that's what they wanted in November's down-ballot elections."

Trump on Tuesday nominated professional wrestling mogul McMahon to helm the Education Department. She led the Small Business Administration from 2017-2019 during Trump's first term in office.

McMahon had been under discussion to head the Commerce Department until Trump offered the role to Wall Street executive Howard Lutnick, reports The New York Times.

Weingarten said in her post that the job of education secretary "should not be a consolation prize," but added that the AFT is "pleased that Linda McMahon wanted to teach in her early life and that her work on the Connecticut State Board of Education led to her interest in literacy and building career pathways."

McMahon was on the Connecticut Board of Education for a year starting in 2009 and spent years on the board of trustees for Sacred Heart University in Connecticut. She has also expressed support for charter schools and school choice.

Weingarten added that the AFT is looking forward to learning more about McMahon.

"If she is confirmed we will reach out to her as we did with Betsy DeVos at the beginning of her tenure," she said in the statement. "We hope [President-elect] Donald Trump means it when he says he wants a focus on project-based instruction, career and technical education and apprenticeships. This will improve education and job options, making schools more relevant and engaging for young people."

However, Weingarten said the organization questions the future of some of the incoming administration's "popular ideas," and is concerned about whether the Trump White House will follow through with plans to close the Department of Education.

If that happens, she said, that will leave "in doubt a federal-funding lifeline that disproportionately goes to children in need, children with disabilities, and young adults who are the first in their families to go to college."

College has been the "engine to innovation and opportunity in America," Weingarten added, as well as growth, improvement, and strengthening communities.

"[This is] why we fight so hard for young people to be able to attend without pauperizing student debt, and for educators to have the academic freedom and support they need for our young people to soar," she added.

Weingarten added that the AFT still has several questions about McMahon as secretary.

"Will Linda McMahon support us as we teach students to read?" she said. "Will she protect kids and families, so that everyone in a school feels welcome and can learn? We don't know the answers to these questions. And while we expect that we will disagree with Linda McMahon on many issues, our devotion to kids requires us to work together on policies that can improve the lives of students, their families, their educators, and their communities."

The AFT represents 1.8 million teachers for grades pre-K through 12, as well as paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.

https://www.newsmax.com/finance/streettalk/comcast-nbcuniversal-cable/2024/11/19/id/1188722/

Comcast is set to announce a groundbreaking $7 billion spin-off of its NBCUniversal cable TV networks, marking a pivotal shift in its growth strategy amid the changing media landscape, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Comcast Corp. is moving forward with plans to spin off its NBCUniversal cable TV networks, a move aimed at restructuring its portfolio to adapt to the evolving media environment. The $7 billion venture, expected to be tax-free, will house a range of entertainment and news channels, including MSNBC, CNBC, USA, Oxygen, E!, Syfy, and the Golf Channel.

The announcement, slated for Wednesday, reflects Comcast's strategy to refocus its resources on broadcast TV, streaming, sports, and other high-growth areas. Although cable networks generate steady profits, cord-cutting trends have significantly impacted subscriber bases and viewership, diminishing their once-dominant status.

Key NBCUniversal assets, such as Bravo and its popular reality TV programming, will remain with Comcast, along with the NBC broadcast network and the Peacock streaming service. These entities are vital to the company's future growth. The cable networks being spun off earned approximately $7 billion in revenue in the 12 months ending Sept. 30.

Mark Lazarus, chair of NBCUniversal's media group, will serve as CEO of the new cable-focused venture. Anand Kini, NBCUniversal's chief financial officer, will serve as CFO and operating chief for the spin-off. Comcast Chair and CEO Brian Roberts will hold a one-third voting stake in the new entity but will not join its board.

The move reflects Comcast's belief that the cable venture will require greater scale to remain competitive. Media analysts suggest the new company may seek consolidation opportunities with other networks to expand its reach and profitability.

The spin-off follows a series of leadership changes across Comcast and NBCUniversal. Donna Langley, currently the Chief Content Officer, will become chair of NBCUniversal Entertainment and Studios. Her role will include overseeing production greenlights, marketing, and managing content budgets.

Matt Strauss, head of Comcast's direct-to-consumer business, will become chair of NBCUniversal Media Group and oversee sports, ad sales, and distribution. Langley and Strauss will share responsibilities in key operational areas.

Cesar Conde will continue as chair of NBCUniversal News Group, which oversees NBC News, Telemundo, and local TV stations. He will also advise on growth opportunities. Additionally, an executive vice president, Adam Miller, will be promoted to COO of NBCUniversal, with responsibilities spanning operations, technology, and communications.

The decision to spin off the cable networks marks a significant moment for Comcast, which acquired NBCUniversal in 2011. At the time, channels such as E! and Oxygen were among the company's most valuable assets in a thriving cable market. However, with the rise of streaming and the decline of traditional cable TV, Comcast is prioritizing investments in areas with greater growth potential.

The spin-off is expected to take about a year to complete.

https://www.newsmax.com/us/aclu-ice-trump/2024/11/19/id/1188652/

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit on Monday against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seeking information as to how the agency plans to carry out the mass deportations planned by President-elect Donald Trump.

The lawsuit is seeking information regarding ICE Air, which was used to remove approximately 140,000 illegal immigrants last year. The ACLU is concerned that the Air Operations network could be increased to aid the incoming Trump administration in deporting the over 11 million people that have entered the U.S. during President Joe Biden's term.

"For months, the ACLU has been preparing for the possibility of a mass detention and deportation program, and FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) litigation has been a central part of our roadmap," said Kyle Virgien, senior staff attorney at the ACLU's National Prison Project. "A second Trump administration underscores the urgency of our litigation."

Trump had made illegal immigration and its effects on society a key campaign issue and has promised he will conduct mass deportations if elected. "We're going to have the largest deportation in the history of our country," Trump said last month during a speech in Los Angeles.

"Little is known about how President-elect Trump would carry out its mass deportation agenda, but what we do know is that this proposal has already instilled fear among immigrant communities," said Eva Bitran, director of immigrants' rights at ACLU SoCal. "The public has a right to know how its taxpayer dollars could be used to fund deportation flights that would tear apart not only families, but also our communities."

Tom Homan, whom Trump has picked to be border czar, denied allegations the administration plans to remove U.S. citizens under the planned mass deportation operation. During a "60 Minutes" interview in October, Homan said "families can be deported" together — leaving many to assume U.S. citizens would be included.

"The Freedom of Information Act requires federal agencies to disclose information requested by the public," said Sophie Mancall-Bitel, a partner at Mayer Brown LLP, which joined the lawsuit. "It's more important than ever that we understand what federal resources could be used to forcibly remove people from the United States."

Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the president-elect's intentions in a statement early in the week, "President Trump will marshal every federal and state power necessary to institute the largest deportation operation of illegal criminals, drug dealers, and human traffickers in American history."

The impending return of Donald Trump as Commander in Chief has caused some Pentagon officials to fear one of his first changes will be to replace current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. C.Q. Brown, Politico reported on Friday.

During Trump’s first term, conflict arose between the White House and the Pentagon during the riots of 2020 over the Insurrection Act which Trump wanted to invoke to bring order to civil unrest. One of Trump’s chief critics was C.Q. Brown, then chief of staff of the Air Force, who has spoken publicly about his rise as a Black man in the military and has been a staunch supporter of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives (DEI).

“There is some anxiety,” one current Department of Defense official said to the outlet on a condition of anonymity. “I think they are immediately worried,” the official said of Brown’s team.

Last month, Trump posted a campaign video in which the president-elect promised to make a Trump-led military more like those seen in the 1987 film “Full Metal Jacket” and not like those showcasing pride month and transgender soldiers.

"We will not have a woke military!” Trump posted on X. The spot ends with the tagline “Let’s make our military great again.”

Two individuals in the Trump transition team said that Brown has long been a thorn in the side of congressional Republicans who had accused the current Pentagon brass of being more focused on DEI and less on building an effective military.

“He’s a DEI/woke champion,” a second DOD official said. “Can imagine he’ll [Brown] be gone quite quickly.”

Reached for comment by Politico, Trump transition spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said, “The American people re-elected President Trump because they trust him to lead our country and restore peace through strength around the world. When he returns to the White House, he will take the necessary action to do just that.”
