21yr Fed Pros (Org Crime, Chief SJ Branch), Past Stanford Law Pro Bono Dir/Lecturer & US Dist Ct. Clerk. Pub. Famous quote: "Keep talking, moron."

It's long past time for editorial boards across the U.S. to call for Trump to: (1) resign; (2) be removed via the 25th Am; and (3) to be impeached. They don't have to choose which way he should be removed, but they must explicitly argue that he cannot be allowed to remain POTUS.

A 25-year-old woman was abducted at gunpoint and forced into the back seat of a car. Desperate for someone to notice, she locked eyes with two teenage boys in another vehicle and silently mouthed two words… “Help me.” 17-year-old Jamal Harris and 19-year-old Aaron Arias immediately called 911 and began following the car. The driver realized they were behind him and started speeding up, slowing down and swerving through traffic trying to lose them. But Jamal and Aaron stayed with him, continuously updating police on where the car was going. They knew if they lost sight of it, the woman could disappear. Police eventually caught up, surrounded the vehicle and arrested the driver. The woman was finally safe, and later embraced the teenagers who had noticed her silent plea and refused to look away. Jamal and Aaron were just out driving that day. But because they paid attention and kept following when it would have been easier to turn away, a kidnapped woman made it home safely. These are the types of young people the internet should be talking about. 💙

Cardinal Robert McElroy, less than a mile from the White House on World Day of Migrants: “We must recognize that in abandoning the words of Deuteronomy and the Statue of Liberty, we are losing our soul as a nation.” He told Catholics to fight every dimension of Trump’s war on immigrants. The cathedral applauded for half a minute.

First they repeatedly assaulted the Palestinian bus drivers (who serve Israelis). Then they assaulted a Palestinian worshiper on their way to nightly prayers at Al Aqsa. Then they spat upon Christian clerics and pilgrims. Then they targeted the business run by Jewish believers in Christ. Then they daily targeted Armenian Jerusalemites and the Armenian Quarter in the Old City. Now they are desecrating Reform Jewish Synagogues. The rabbis and religious leaders are shtum. The Foreign Minister ordered a post by the MFA condemning anti-Christian hate crime taken down. Ben Gvir's militia, AKA the Israeli Police, are too busy arresting peaceful demonstrators and securing home demolitions to take action. The Mayor has a coalition with the ulrra-Orthodox and the Kahanist right he feels obligated to maintain. The Mayor threatened to fire the Director of the Jerusalem Museum if she gave a room to academicians conducting a workshop on anti-Christian hate crime. Our national hologram, Herzog, occasionally make some noises of reservation. Netanyahu? Our Netanyahu? Are you kidding? Cry, the beloved city. We need many more Rabbi Jacobs. And Israel needs a new birth of decency. haaretz.com/israel-news/2026…

Israeli intelligence, Israeli hi-tech, Israeli medical breakthroughs, Israeli women and men of letters, Israeli Nobel laureates, Israeli technical and medical aid to victims of natural disasters, all things of which we can be proud, do not give us license us to doing what we have been doing in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, things that decent people and wise leaders cannot countenance. It's not that kind of ledger sheet. Israel has morphed into something that decent people are finding impossible to support. It will only get worse until we own up to it.
IDF intelligence helped the UK and the US to foil the plot that targeted the RAF Fairford base. That shouldn’t surprise anyone, as Israel has better intelligence access than the UK and the US when it comes to Iran. Once more, it was Israel that helped the UK. Someone should tell that to Miliband

I'm thinking that the GOP stunt about Jack Smith and the basketball game wasn't a misunderstanding of Hawks/Hawkeyes. I think Schmitt and company planned to flash that poster and then move on, leaving Mr. Smith looking confused on camera and unable to explain the supposed texts. The thing that blew it up, and the thing that really got to Schmitt, was that Senator Klobuchar called him on it and foiled his plans. The GOP men involved were mad at being exposed and beaten by a woman.

Hac intellegentiae artificialis aetate, urgens fit humanam artem ab iis distinguere, quae machinis efficiuntur. Ars enim et ea, quae machina ex innumeris alienis imaginibus statisticae ope computationis generare potest, ontologice, prius etiam quam aesthetice, inter se differunt. Algorithmis humani deest favilla. Quapropter Ecclesia cum artificibus et humani cultus institutis foedus renovare cupit: foedus scilicet ad humanum custodiendum.

Looking forward to whatever you bring your energy and voice to @NPRKelly Mary Louise. Congrats on an amazing run
NEWS: I’m stepping down as host of All Things Considered and Sources & Methods. 25 yrs since I first set foot in this newsroom! I'll continue to contribute interviews; NPR remains a place where I can do the kind of work I came to journalism to do. Now, on to the next adventure.

Not to worry, Jared. All those subpoenas coming your way will provide you an unparalleled opportunity to provide the testimony and documentation that will demonstrate to the nation your exemplary moral and ethical rectitude.
For the last 10 years, I have ignored false and misleading stories about me and focused on the work. But the cycle has gotten out of control where old lies get repeated as fact, new ones get added, and the record becomes increasingly distorted. So from time to time, I’m going to respond, not to every allegation. But when the truth matters, I’ll put the facts and supporting information out publicly, and people can judge for themselves.

This is unheard of: the two opponents in the most recent NYC mayoral race-instead of attacking one another with incendiary rhetoric-have made a lighthearted public service ad together Good for Mamdani Good for Sliwa And-most of all-good for New York
Sliwa getting a flu shot: This could be very embarrassing. I’m supposed to be a tough guy, right? Mamdani: I can hold your hand. Sliwa: What happens if I faint? Mamdani: I got you. Doctor: You’re in great hands, literally. Mayor Mamdani encourages everyone to get their flu shot as flu season approaches. New Yorkers can find free flu shots and locations at nyc.gov/healthmap

Community note
RFK Jr. did not say "Infertility is genetic. If your parents can't have kids, neither can you." The quote is an older joke that circulated online since at least 2022 and in humor books from 1997-2002 before being misattributed to him. snopes.com/fact-check/rfk… leadstories.com/hoax-alert/202…
