Tonight marks a milestone for all of us at the PBS News Hour. On this day 50 years ago, we aired our first broadcast. The show had a different name, but the same mission to deliver thoughtful & trustworthy journalism. Half a century later, we're still at it & guided by the same principles & mission.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

“If you have a park close to you, make the trip & find a reason to purchase a book on a subject that is currently being targeted. Do it as a statement of resistance … that you will not sit idly buy & watch as our history is removed from our most important public historical sites.”

Today The Washington Post is reporting on some of the books that National Park Service employees have flagged for review owing to their content.

Good morning readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

Usyk became a 3-time world boxing champion last week. These wins lift spirits but also work as soft power by creating a strong image of Ukraine.

Ukrainian Maik Taison (yes, his real name) hopes to continue Usyk's legacy.
Don’t push the horses.
Boxing as a Ukrainian cultural export: it has long been Ukraine’s calling card. Ukraine’s Maik Taison (yes, his real name) wants to follow the steps of global heavyweight champ Oleksandr Usyk.
