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 :

I was right. The question took Trump and MBS by surprise.
The reporter was Mary K. Bruce of ABC News.
She also asked about the murder Jamal Khashoggi.
Good for her and ABC News. It’s refreshing and rare to see actual journalism in the Trump White House.

A “high-level” Trump admin official told the @newyorker.com that in an interview for her position “her interlocutor opened his mouth to reveal that he had a MAGA tattoo on the underside of his lower lip.”
The official said, “It’s over the top, but it’s the currency of the realm.”

If you heard those attacks and felt they were calling *you* out personally, then that's entirely on you, champ.

Dems didn't brand "white dudes" as the "bad guy" as Portnoy suggests. We branded people who support a toxic, hate-filled convicted felon who abuses women and lies constantly about everything as the bad guys, and they just happen to be disproportionately white men.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.
