Americans moving abroad, dollar store shoppers, fear of flying: Catch up on the day's stories
👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! A rare 19th-century condom decorated with an erotic etching featuring a nun and three clergymen will go on display at a museum in the Netherlands. Believed to be made from a sheep's appendix, it's part of an exhibit on prostitution and sexuality. Here's what else you might have missed during your busy day: 1️⃣ Fed up: Kevin and Jessica Cellura's problems with President Donald Trump's second term go well beyond the usual policy tussles and fierce disputes, so they decided to move to Morocco. They're part of a growing stampede of Americans who are relocating abroad or trying to obtain citizenship rights. 2️⃣ Bargain shoppers: More middle class and wealthy Americans are buying necessities at Dollar General, a discount chain with more than 20,000 stores — primarily in rural areas. That's good news for the company's bottom line, but it could be a warning sign for the US economy. 3️⃣ Persistent plague: In medieval Europe, the pandemic known as Black Death killed at least 25 million people in just five years. The disease is caused by bacteria that's been circulating among humans for at least 5,000 years. Scientists say they now know why. 4️⃣ Safe space: Max Comer never set out to become a social media star, but the aircraft mechanic's quirky videos help travelers feel less afraid to fly. He puts your mind at ease about things like those weird noises during takeoff and the 'smoke' coming from overhead vents. 5️⃣ Old-school cool: Buffalo, New York, is more than just a gateway to Niagara Falls. It's a city with a friendly and increasingly sophisticated mix of nightlife, culture, food and nature. CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer calls his hometown 'my happy place.' 🍅 Food fight! Thousands of people gathered in Colombia to throw tomatoes at one another during the Gran Tomatina Festival, which uses tomatoes that are overripe or otherwise not suitable to eat. • South Korea's opposition leader Lee wins election as ruling party's Kim concedes• Ukraine strikes bridge connecting Russia to Crimea with underwater explosives• Musk blasts Trump's agenda bill as a 'disgusting abomination' 💰 That's how much richer the wealthiest 10 Americans got over the past year. 🦭 Back from the brink: Hunting and conflicts with fishermen brought the Mediterranean monk seal to the edge of extinction. Thanks to conservation efforts and legal protections, it's making a comeback. 🎓 Chilling effect: Schools are scrambling to assess the impact of the Trump administration's order pausing new visa interviews for international students. 🧑⚖️ Trump privately complains that the Supreme Court hasn't stood behind his agenda. Which justice receives most of his ire? A. Samuel AlitoB. Neil GorsuchC. Brett KavanaughD. Amy Coney Barrett⬇️ Scroll down for the answer. 🏔️ On top of the world: Sherpa guide Kami Rita recently reached the summit of Mount Everest for the 31st time, breaking his own record. He first climbed the world's highest mountain — more than 29,000 feet — in 1994 and has been making the trip nearly every year since. 👋 We'll see you tomorrow. 🧠 Quiz answer: D.

Joy Reid floats speculation that her race, 'anxiety' surrounding Trump played role in MSNBC firing
Ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid spoke out about her show being canceled on Monday, speculating that her race and network "anxiety" surrounding President Donald Trump played a role in her ultimately being fired from the liberal network. "I try not to speculate too much publicly because, again, I can't get inside the minds of other people. But I can tell you what other people have speculated about… There are lots of people at the network who are critical of Donald Trump. I mean, and they're still critical of him, I'm assuming, you know. So I don't think that's [it], but I do know there is a lot of anxiety both there and, I think, in every media. We're seeing it at CBS," she said, referring to Trump's lawsuit against the network over a "60 Minutes" interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Reid spoke with Katie Couric in a video posted on her Substack page and on her YouTube channel. Reid's MSNBC show was canceled earlier this year. "We're seeing it at ABC, where allegedly 'The View' hosts were told not to go so hard on Trump. There's a push for people to, hey, do less Trump. Do more entertainment. Don't be hard on him," the former MSNBC host said, noting reporting that ABC's "The View" hosts were told to tone down their political discussions. Jen Psaki, The Ex-biden Flack Who Defended His Mental Fitness, Launches Expanded Role At Msnbc Couric pointed out that there was no difference between Reid and liberal hosts Nicolle Wallace or Rachel Maddow, to which Reid responded, "only in one way was I different. I'm a Black woman doing the thing." Read On The Fox News App "I think that there is a difference for Trump in hearing the kinds of criticisms specifically out of a Black woman, it bothers him in a way it doesn't bother him like anything else. He's got this sort of tick about race, you know, and about, sort of criticism coming specifically from a Black woman because we've seen him lay out and dish out real abuse against Black women journalists," Reid said during her conversation with Couric. "I did a specific thing, which was, I tried to constantly unpack the racial history of the country, which is very much against the sort of Project 2025 thing. And it's something I can do in a certain capacity because of my background, because not only am I a Black woman, but I come from immigrant parents who come from what Donald Trump would consider s---hole countries, but that have a take on race that is different," Reid continued. Joy Reid Says Black Women No Longer Interested In 'Saving America' After Betrayal By White Female Voters Reid's show was replaced with "The WeekNight", an ensemble program featuring former Kamala Harris spokesperson Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez, the daughter of disgraced former New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, and Michael Steele, the former Republican National Committee chair who now staunchly opposes the GOP. MSNBC's new lineup has struggled in its first month, with Psaki shedding half the audience her predecessors averaged in the same timeslot, and with its other new programming struggling to attract viewers. MSNBC and ABC's "The View" did not immediately return requests for comment. Reid said prior to her show's cancellation, she was told that her show was "down less" in ratings than any other MSNBC show, aside from Maddow's. Reid and her former primetime colleagues faced a major ratings decline after Trump won the election. Click Here For More Coverage Of Media And Culture Her show, "The Reidout," shed 47% of its total audience, averaging just 759,000 viewers after averaging 1.4 million viewers throughout 2024 leading up to Election Day, "Our show was down less than any other primetime show. We were down, other than Rachel Maddow, we were down the least. So we were just told that we were holding on pretty well. And, you know, it's not like the ratings have gotten better since I've been gone. So I can tell you, honestly, I even had my exit interview and no one has told me why I was fired. I have no idea," she said. Reid said MSNBC's reasoning was "scripted" and "perfunctory," and explained that she had started being careful on social media. "We were being very careful, and I was trying to be more careful about anything on social media, because I know there was a real anxiety about social media, very much an anxiety about anything on social media," she said. "I don't know, I genuinely was not told."
