The president of the United States entertained the man who had this journalist chopped into small pieces in the White House in his golden showers room and made all of us watch.
I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

As the FBI’s deputy director, Bongino receives some of the country’s most sensitive secrets, including the President’s Daily Brief.

His ascent to that position without passing a standard bureau background check is unprecedented, insiders say.

In the five months since Florida officials floated the idea of a tent camp in the Everglades, the state's expenses for immigration detention facilities have reached well over $743 million* and climbing.

Aside from a handful of DeSantis cronies, no Floridians' lives are any better for it.

From 2021 through 2024, one #Florida city had a larger share of its homicides classified as justifiable than any other U.S. city or county with a population greater than 500,000. www.wsj.com/us-news/jack... via @wsj.com

In one case, authorities concluded the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old was self-defense—with no one claiming they killed in self-defense.

Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."

#Trump's #SSA is now undoing all their policies of #overpayment repayments. I called to report an overpayment. The agent insisted that this money was owed to me, even after a second call to the SSA. Now? SSA will be clawing it back from my retirement check at 50% of my monthly earnings.

Pleased to speak with @gregsargent.bsky.social about OLC's "get out of jail free card" for the Trump administration's maritime killing spree.
“This could indicate awareness of potential criminal exposure,” one legal expert tells me, and “may reflect consciousness that they’re in legally treacherous territory.”

Remember, the Admiral overseeing bombings just resigned. Did he think the orders are illegal?
