Acting Army COS Gen. LaNeve says in HASC hearing this AM that conversations and the decision surrounding the cancelation of an Army brigade's deployment to Poland were "relatively recent." "It's probably been within the last two weeks," LaNeve told Rep. Austin Scott.

Read this...or just listen to "Patches." "Blind from youth and distinguished by his deep, declamatory baritone and lecherous, full-throated laugh, Mr. Carter combined the sermonic fervor of a backwoods preacher and the bawdy humor of a juke joint." nytimes.com/2026/05/14/art…

Adm. Cooper’s testimony suggested that he believed that the U.S. military’s record since Feb. 28 school strike had been near perfect. “Ridiculous,” said human rights group that investigates civilian casualties. nytimes.com/2026/05/14/us/…

@WizardsMuse1 This is the greatest shot in franchise history. @bobdandridge10 youtube.com/watch?v=iRRt9L…

Nine years ago today... JOHN WALL FORCES GAME SEVEN THE GREATEST SHOT IN WIZARDS HISTORY

I don't know a whole lot about a whole lot. But I know my city. Don't tell me there aren't Wizards fans out there. They're there, like they've been for decades. D.C. is a basketball town. It just needed a reason to have real hope for the pro team. Sunday was hope.

Comforting...

@SleeperWizards @TheAthletic Maybe some of the voters should ask Wemby and Jokic about Gobert. He's killing it.

“I don’t even know who’s coaching the Wizards, but whoever coaches the Wizards.” Brian Keefe was voted the worst coach in the NBA by 161 players (@TheAthletic) The same poll had Trae Young tied with Rudy Gobert for the 2nd most overrated player in the NBA, behind Alperen Şengün

@John_Hudson I would like to see a peer-reviewed study. Perhaps RFK Jr. could find at HHS?

Gentleman and scholar Sebastian Gorka was asked today if Trump's war in Iran might create new terror threats. Dr. Gorka responded: "You are testicularly challenged" if you don't support this war. "That's a low T approach"

I can't stop being happy for @FedGirlWaPo -- who mined the fed workforce beat unlike any other Postie has done. So happy for all my friends who won the Pulitzer for covering DOGE fallout, but Lisa is such a gem. Few reporters have her arc these days ... washingtonpost.com/people/lisa-re…

Grateful for the work of Brian Stelter at CNN/Reliable Sources putting this under lights. Hopefully everyone is doing the same. This is where 1st amendment abuses impact press freedom, chill sources and creep into biz interests for a free and plural press. Hold the line. 1/2

@DrPJSullivan The Mongolians sent a company to the exercise. Their experience was definitely appreciated.

The Mongolian and other Armies trade regularly in this sort of weather. nytimes.com/2026/05/04/us/…

@DanLamothe @KennyHolston I lost feeling in it for about three weeks. But it is mostly back! Too much standing around!

@GregJaffe @KennyHolston So what about that big toe???

How would soldiers from places like Florida, Texas and Georgia fight and persevere in temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees? (@kennyholston and I truly froze for this one. Ask me about my big toe!) nytimes.com/2026/05/04/us/…

The U.S. Army’s ‘Big Experiment’ in the Arctic Cold How would soldiers from places like Florida, Texas and Georgia fight and persevere in temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees? (We truly froze for this one. Ask me about my big toe!) nytimes.com/2026/05/04/us/…

And a third amazing piece that ran today from another journalist Bezos laid off. wapo.st/4cNY7Cm

And the second piece. nytimes.com/2026/05/03/opi…

Two stories from former Washington Post journalists (and a former Post photographer) that together tell story of journalism and our times. wapo.st/4eYhTwe

Three months later, this is my last @washingtonpost story — delayed because nearly everyone involved in it was laid off. I am very grateful to newsroom friends who made sure it published anyway, and to brave Roman Mongold and his family for their time. wapo.st/4cNY7Cm
