The New York Democrat former Rep. Max Rose, who was unseated by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) in 2020, is reportedly scheming to run for congress again in the same congressional district. The Democrat is preparing to launch a rematch campaign against Malliotakis in the coming weeks, according to Politico . However, after the redistricting is finalized, Rose may have a better chance if the congressional district leans more in his favor, but still an uphill battle since he lost by over six percent. Rose was one of the 13 House Democrats who Republicans unseated last year. The district also favored former President Donald Trump in both elections. Sources close to Rose told Politico that the former congressman already started hiring campaign staff to fill a team since leaving the President Joe Biden’s task force for the Chinese coronavirus, in addition to contacting former supporters in suspense of the run. Another source who spoke to Politico addressed Rose’s campaign …

LONDON — Britain’s High Court agreed on Wednesday to intervene in a sexual assault lawsuit against Prince Andrew, clearing the way for him to answer a legal claim in the United States that he sexually abused a minor while a guest of Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II, has denied the allegations, and his American lawyer contended on Monday that the lawsuit, brought by Virginia Giuffre, was “baseless, nonviable and potentially unlawful.” The lawyer, Andrew B. Brettler, also argued that legal papers had not been properly served on his client in Britain. The High Court, which said it was responding to information provided by Ms. Giuffre’s lawyers, agreed to serve the papers on Andrew if the two parties did not work out a way to do so. Andrew has been visiting the queen at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, making that process more complicated. The allegations against Andrew, 61, known as the Duke of York, have led to his exile from official duties and have …

On a recent weekend afternoon, Damian Biollo went to Hudson Yards with his wife to meet up with a drawing group that typically convenes in Central Park, where the mysteries of nature reveal themselves more reliably. On this day, a mall-cum-office park would dubiously provide the inspiration, but not long after they arrived, they noticed something out of context and quite beautiful — a tiny creature with two pairs of wings, the front set a pale gray elegantly dotted in black, and the back set smaller and accented in bright red. It had situated itself near an entrance to the High Line. Someone without Mr. Biollo’s particular grasp of the moment might have simply begun sketching what looked like a detail of an exquisite Chinoiserie wallpaper, but he knew that he was in the presence of something insidious. After two attempts, he managed to squash it. A software engineer who follows a lot of naturalists online, Mr. Biollo correctly identified what he was looking at as a spotted …

View the edited version of the webinar above or register to view the on-demand recording. Teaching students how to read, interpret and question graphs, maps and charts is a key 21st-century skill. One of our weekly features, “What’s Going On in This Graph?”, provides an authentic way for students to interpret graphs, evaluate their reliability and draw logical conclusions. Each week during the school year we spotlight a new Times graph — on topics ranging from pop music and sneakers to climate change and college costs — as part of our “What’s Going On in This Graph?” activity. On Wednesdays, teachers from the American Statistical Association provide live facilitation to help students notice, wonder and deepen their analysis. And on Thursdays, our A.S.A. partners provide additional background about these graphs and relevant statistical concepts. In this webinar, we walk you through the components of our “What’s Going On in This Graph?” feature. The Learning Network editors is …

A year ago, The Learning Network fulfilled a longtime dream and welcomed 60 educators to the first-ever cohort of The New York Times Teaching Project . Now that members of this group are officially alums and we’ve welcomed a new cohort of 40 , we want to spotlight just a fraction of the work they did, in the hope that it might inspire you — whether you’ve ever taught with The Times or not. Even given the near-daily upheaval of teaching during a pandemic, our inaugural cohort managed to both come up with imaginative ways to teach with the news daily and design immersive semester-long curriculum projects that engaged their students in deeper work. Perhaps the best thing about this group, in fact, was the community we built that helped get us all through what was a difficult year for classrooms and newsrooms. For us Learning Network editors, the insights these teachers offered from schools across the country were invaluable in helping make our offerings as responsive as …

Teachers have told us how much they value participating in our live events with a community of educators — even if the events take place virtually — because they connect teachers from around the world with each other and The Times. And that’s our goal with our fall webinar series: In four free professional development sessions from October to December, we will explore using The New York Times to teach and learn with personal narratives, mentor texts, vocabulary and journalistic profiles. Sign up for a single webinar, or come to all of them. If you can’t attend live, you can watch later at your convenience. And don’t forget that we have a library of free on-demand webinars that can be watched any time. We also offer a professional certificate for participating — and C.T.L.E. credit for New York teachers. THURSDAY, OCT. 7 @ 4PM ET Personal Narratives From the Newsroom to the Classroom Building on our narrative-writing unit plan, this webinar will delve deeper into what makes a …

Inequalities, by definition, involve a comparison between two or more things. In math, we can easily express inequalities with simple mathematical sentences, such as x<y . But how can we illustrate complicated inequalities deeply entrenched in our society that are often hidden from plain sight behind segregated neighborhoods, schools of varying quality and different health care systems? Graphs are one powerful tool. In this teaching resource, we have gathered 28 New York Times graphs that relate to social inequalities in income, education and health care, many of which are exacerbated by issues of race and gender. We have also gathered examples that show how the coronavirus pandemic both laid bare and widened these disparities. We hope teachers across the curriculum will be able to use this collection to help students think critically about American society. To support teachers, we have created a lesson plan to guide individual students or whole classes — as well as a …

Note: Register for our free November 5 webinar about teaching with graphs , or watch a previously recorded on-demand webinar here . For the last three years, we have collaborated with the American Statistical Association (A.S.A.) to produce “ What’s Going On in This Graph? ” This weekly feature invites students to analyze and interpret graphs previously published in The New York Times, first by noticing and wondering, and then by creating a catchy headline and considering what impact this data might have on them and their communities. Scroll through the dozens of graphs in the slide show above or explore each graph further in the collection below. This curated list is organized by topic and graph type — ranging from science to sports, and from bar graphs to bubble charts. If you’re new to the feature, here is how it works: Each week during the school year we take a graph that has been published elsewhere in The New York Times and ask students to share …

Times Insider explains who we are and what we do, and delivers behind-the-scenes insights into how our journalism comes together. David Halbfinger recently returned to the United States after nearly four years as The New York Times’s Jerusalem bureau chief, a role widely considered one of the most sensitive jobs in journalism. His next challenge is proving to be just as big a test: Heading the paper’s U.S. political coverage during a time of partisan division and what looks to be a bare-knuckle midterm election in 2022. In a recent conversation, Mr. Halbfinger, who served as deputy politics editor during the 2016 presidential race, discussed the reasons he wanted the job, the differences between working in Israel and the United States and the value he sees in even some of the most virulent criticism. This interview has been edited and condensed. You spent the past four years as the Jerusalem bureau chief. What brought you back to the United States? The Jerusalem role was a …
