I, along with print photographers, have been denied entry to cover today’s Pentagon briefing. All other media were allowed in.

@anjumsheh Is it more sickening than all the other stuff he is doing? We should expect and prepare for the worst.

This is sickening and racist. The president is going apeshit: thehill.com/homenews/admin…

I'll never get over the fact that Google/YouTube's business model involves selling ads to companies that uses deep fakes to trick old people into thinking they can cure memory loss with a "secret" honey/cinnamon elixir!

Gosh, are CCP propagandists now giving lessons to US State Department officials on writing Chinese-language propaganda?

平息了八场战争。谋杀率创史上最大降幅。边境安全堪称全球第一。本届政府的首年施政表现是美国史上历届政府中最为卓越的，并且成就还远不止这些。

@wstrobel @hannah_natanson @washingtonpost And a reminder that journalists everywhere need to take extraordinary measures to protect themselves and their sources.

I stand with my Washington Post colleague @hannah_natanson
She is a terrific reporter doing vital and unmatched work. This is a reminder of why we @washingtonpost and throughout the journalism community do what we do.

Rob and Michelle Reiner were incredibly caring, warm-hearted, talented people. Here we are on the set of #shockandawemovie with Woody Harrelson, James Marsden and scriptwriter Joey Hartstone. RIP, Rob and Michelle. Thanks for all you gave us. @JonathanLanday @JohnWalcott20

Bogus convictions based on bogus charges based on a bogus law. The Hong Kong and Beijing authorities will face accountability for their cruelty towards Jimmy Lai — one of the bravest human beings of our time. I hope that day will come soon, and we together will bring it about.

"Pakistanis need to stop blaming India for everything. We spent 60 years saying India is the enemy. But no country with a 7% growth rate wants war. But a country with a 2% growth rate like Pakistan can go to war because it has nothing to lose," said PAK journalist Ahmed Rashid

On NPR, I spoke about how Trump's coercion of law firms reminds me of CC's tactics of pressuring private businesses to fall in line with the party. While the CCP is far more repressive, the feeling of "I've seen it in my own country" still rings true. (See link below)

I spoke with @Troublemak3r author @MarkLClifford, and I am so moved by his friendship with Jimmy Lai.
Mark understands why Lai chose to sacrifice his freedom for the principles he holds dear.

"Pakistan's economy has totally collapsed. I haven't had gas for 6 months in my house. There has been no investment in keeping the country running. Instead, Pakistan's army is building nuclear weapons faster than any country in the world," says PAK journalist Ahmed Rashid

🚨🚨#BREAKING: Another depressing start of the day for a helpless mother of journalist @Ahmad_Noorani, coming out of courtroom crying even after 28 days IG @ICT_Police conveniently get away with the abduction of her two sons from the court of #JusticeInaamAmeenMinhas.

Pakistan should stop disappearing journalists for reporting the news. What utterly shameful behavior!! @Matiullahjan919 should be freed. immediately. His work is important for the people of Pakistan.
Usama Khilji@UsamaKhilji
On his @NeoNewsUR show last night right before @Matiullahjan919 was disappeared, he had invited bureaucrat @RashdiSuleman who resigned yesterday in protest of state firing at PTI protestors, along with @saqibbashir156. Saqib Bashir was released shortly after #ReleaseMatiullahJan

In 2012, Pete Hegseth wrote about how "eroding values" were breaking up families.
He cited his out-of-wedlock child but said his family's "culture of values" enabled him to move forward.
In 2017, he had a child from an affair, and a separate sexual encounter led to an NDA.

I believe Trump’s behavior in 2020 totally disqualified him for democratic office, and I’m so dispirited that more American voters didn’t think so.
But Democrats need to acknowledge that many of us would have voted for a goat or a weeping pimple over any Republican candidate.

CPJ synthesized an entire year of research into this staggering by-the-numbers piece on the Israel-Gaza war. Main takeaway: 128 journalists killed, the vast majority Palestinians by Israel, in the deadliest conflict for the press we've ever recorded.

[Graphic Video] After the internet was restored, videos of #PoliceBrutality are emerging. One video shows a protestor being repeatedly shot and killed by the police despite attempts by a fellow protestor to save him. #QuotaReformMovement #StepDownHasina #Bangladesh
