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.

I kept wondering when I'd see her name and face- you know, like she's a real person.
Catherine Lucey from Bloomberg was called Piggy by Trump yesterday. His misogyny knows no bounds.

Knowing this is fascinating and has also helped me through some times in my life marked by interrupted sleep
Humans Used to Sleep Twice Every Night.
Here's Why It Vanished. 🏺🧪

Continuous sleep is a modern habit, not an evolutionary constant, which helps explain why many of us still wake at 3 am.

Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:

"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

This is very helpful.
I just want to make things clear for the non-lawyers among us: this DOES NOT allow them to hide everything under the guise of a random investigation.

If they are investigating Bill Clinton, they can withhold documents related to him, but they have to provide a log to Congress of every document
Here's the actual text of the Epstein Files Transparency Act that will get a vote in the House tomorrow.

Note that while it does permit files to be withheld if release "would jeopardize an active federal in9 vestigation or ongoing prosecution," the withholding

It will be fun for the average time/energy strapped consumer, who is already frustrated to death (pun intended) by insurance, to have to spend even more time and energy trying to go it alone against a powerful, shadowy, intricate industry. Anyways- never going to happen.
Cassidy: "The president is proposing that we take the $26b that would be going to insurance companies if we just do an extension and give it directly to the American people in which 100% of the money is used for them to purchase healthcare on their own terms. That makes them an informed consumer."

Surroundings! Lol. Do you have to present ID to buy Thanksgiving surroundings?
Trump shamelessly lies: "Go to Walmart and other companies, and in every case it's about 25% that a Thanksgiving meal and surroundings are 25% lower. That's big fact."

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

When I tell people I am an atheist who got an MA at a seminary and found a meaningful home in that community I get a side eye... but these are the kinds of future faith leaders I found myself in the midst of. Would not be even a little surprised to see some of my alumni in a photo like this.
there are good and brave people engaging in acts of heroism out of love for their fellow human beings. Be brave enough to allow their courage to inspire you, too.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

When you read these Epstein emails, you start to understand why so many prominent conservatives are obsessed with checking the genitals of children. It's a big thing for them!
