Donald Trump could have just kept his mouth shut about Jamal Khashoggi.
But to smear a dead journalist, while sitting with the person accused of orchestrating his murder is just vile.
Every time this administration hits rock bottom, a trap door seems to open.
Cretin behavior.

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.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

When the inevitable photos come out of starved corpses arranged in rows, I personally will be watching for the people who saved their horror and condemnation for when the war crimes were already over
Few if any experts know more about the deliberate use of starvation as a war crime than Alex de Waal. If he says it's happening, it's so.

Has there been any media attempt to understand how much of Mamdani's win was because of his left-wing beliefs/policies vs. the primary "establishment" candidate just being bad? Cuomo resigned in disgrace and seems generally not liked. Maybe that's why he lost?

Two days after deadly Texas floods, the agency struggled to answer calls from survivors because of call center contracts that weren’t extended.

Kristi Noem requires her personal approval for FEMA to sign a contract over $100k. (Normally this just requires the approval of the contracting officer.) In doing so, she has made herself personally liable for FEMA's slowness in responding to any disaster.

Beyond the source having racist motives, the guy didn't even get in! What's the point?
Chris Rufo and the NY Post have a new and shocking Mamdani BOMBSHELL:
His SAT scores were AVERAGE among admitted students!!!!!!!
This is definitely the sort of thing you report when a candidate has skeletons in the closet.

Which party is supposed to support states' rights again?
Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a “show of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government.
After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.

A fun thing about American politics is that more people voted in New York City in a June primary than live in five states that get two senators.

Two things can be true:
1. D establishment is overdue for some bloodletting like this. It will be read as left vs. moderate but much of it will also be old vs. new and conventional tactics vs. new approaches.
2. It's just one race and it's a primary among NYC Ds. Takes getting pretty overheated.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.
Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.
