On Giving Tuesday, don't forget the world's worst humanitarian crisis, in Sudan, where half of all children under 5 are acutely malnourished. Huge thanks to @chefjoseandres for providing a $1 million match for donations to respond through

Sit in our air conditioned offices? Finally I have to say it. How dare you sir. Close to every member of the press corps you despise has made multiple reporting trips to combat zones, been under fire, some reporters wounded, some killed. Some today still with PTS. Mr. Hegseth
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike? HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the

We liberals have a way of letting good intentions run amok.
This is a great piece with some mind-boggling statistics. - At Brown and Harvard, more than 20% of undergraduates are registered as disabled - At Amherst: more than 30 percent - At Stanford: nearly 40 percent Soon, many of these schools "may have more students receiving

Please read these facts checks - they matter:
Here's a fact check of 13 of the false claims President Trump made at his Cabinet meeting today: - He claimed he's secured more than $18 trillion in investment commitments since he returned to office. That fictional figure is nearly double the $9.6 trillion figure the White

Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Nothing says ‘war on drugs’ more than releasing convicted drug trafficker ex-president
Breaking News: Juan Orlando Hernández, a Honduran ex-president convicted for drug trafficking, was freed from prison after a Trump pardon.

How to point the finger at someone while pretending to support him.
Let’s make one thing crystal clear: Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my 100% support. I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made — on the September 2 mission and all others since. America is fortunate to have such men protecting

Pregnant and postpartum women report starving in ICE custody, freezing cells, invasive procedures, miscarriages, and their pleas for help going unanswered. More from @Independent & @RFKHumanRights ⬇️.
(1/4) ICE detention has become a black box. Oversight has been gutted. Families are being separated. Pregnant and postpartum women report starving in custody, freezing cells, invasive procedures, miscarriages, and their pleas for help going unanswered. https://t.co/jlR7u6M13s

@WhiteHouse this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.

This is an absolute disgrace that betrays the hollowness of the “war” against drug trafficking. Killing alleged drug mules without due process while liberating a drug lord is both unserious and immoral. How about we follow the law and prosecute and imprison both?
BREAKING: Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández has been released from a U.S. federal prison, Bureau of Prisons tells AP.

Hooray for the many Americans who led (when it was not popular!) the fight against the #AIDS pandemic! George Bush, Bill Frist, John Kerry, Bill Gates, Nancy Stetson, Bill & Hilary Clinton, Tony Fauci, Helene Gayle, Mike Gerson, Chris Dodd, Josh Bolten & so many activists!

He was regular beaten with a plastic pipe and survived on a paltry diet of ground-up fish heads: The horrors of Ukraine's "civilian hostages" seized and held in Russia's modern gulag. @gettleman

Even if a peace can be reached, it won’t be easy to solve the problem of Ukrainian civilians languishing in Russian jails. This is one prisoner’s story.

To make fun of the killing of people, when you have the power to stop them and do a true interrogation and actually make sure you know what they do and whom the higher up’s are..is so sad.

A stat worth knowing: McKinsey the consulting firm has more employees than there are journalists of any kind in the US, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Newspapers are closing at an emergency-level rate—over the past 20 years, America has lost more than 3,000. For the past six years, the photographer Ann Hermes has been documenting the lives lived in these dying places across the country. See more images: https://t.co/fZqNYFMo1O

@NickKristof @babson I am a 3 times Trump voter. I did NOT vote for this. Deporting criminals and those who are a danger for society? Sure! Deporting this lady and many others who came here through no fault of their own and who are net contributors to America? NOPE! This will cost the GOP 2026.

Good piece by @brhodes on lessons that must be learned from the tragedy and myopia of Biden Democrats enabling Netanyahu in Gaza and the West Bank. It was an utter moral, diplomatic and political failure:
nytimes.com
It may be tempting to memory hole what happened in Gaza. That would only compound the mistake of ignoring, or rationalizing, an intolerable reality.

I still can’t believe the media called this “targeting Hamas.”
