A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

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.

Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

[FOUNDER'S BRIEF - @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social]

Saalumarada Thimmakka and her husband decided to plant trees “and tend to them like we would our children.”

So they did. In the dry season, they carried pails of water for miles to nurture their banyans. In time, their “children” took root.
Saalumarada Thimmakka, mother of trees, has died, aged 114

The war on saturated fats. The huge controversy.

He also recommends bloodletting, leeches and a 30 day fast
RFK Jr says he will end the "war" on saturated fats, contradicting decades of evidence-based dietary recommendations.

"We’re ending the war on saturated fats in this country. So, we’re going to publish dietary guidelines that are going to stress the importance of protein and saturated fats."

Tomorrow, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives will finally vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Now, the question is whether enough House Republicans will turn on Trump, who has been doing everything he can to tank the vote.
How many Republicans will defy Trump and vote to release the Epstein files?
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said he expects a "deluge" of Republicans to join the Tuesday vote to release the Epstein files, adding it could be "100 or more."
