Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

"Three different defense officials who spoke with The Intercept called Trump’s speech 'embarrassing.' ... One called Hegseth’s address 'garbage,' using a term the war secretary used during his speech. Another said: 'We are diminished as a nation by both Hegseth and Trump.'"
