The story behind The Birdman of Auschwitz. Now told in an astonishing exhibition at the former home of Rudolf Höss—Commandant of the death camp—on the life of Dr. Günther Niethammer. It explores complicity, responsibility and wilful ignorance in Nazi Germany—with direct relevance to the rise in today’s violent antisemitism.

May the fourth be with you

This pathetic anti-Philly scumbag hates Notre Dame and hates all Philly sports teams. All good people of conscience everywhere should rejoice when he is sad. Let’s Go Sixers!

Secret Service agent ‘definitely’ shot by suspected gunman at last weekend’s correspondents’ dinner, US attorney says cnn.com/2026/05/03/pol…

TAPPER: "Has it been suggested to you, at any point, by anyone that maybe you need to recuse yourself because you were both a witness and a potential target?" JEANINE PIRRO: "Absolutely not. I mean, there is no way... my ability to prosecute this case has nothing to do with my being there."

US Attorney Jeanine Pirro on whether an IG probe will affect if she restarts her now-suspended criminal investigation into the outgoing Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell: "I want to see what's there. If there's something there, great. And if there isn't, I will go home."

JEANINE PIRRO: "We now can establish that a pellet that came from the buckshot, from the defendant's Mossberg pump-action shotgun, was intertwined with the fiber of the vest of the Secret Service officer." TAPPER: "So it's definitively his bullet?" PIRRO: "It is definitively his bullet."

Tillis on Comey indictment: "If this whole case is based on a picture in the sand of a North Carolina beach, it again makes no sense to me."

Two former members of Congress tell Jake Tapper whether they will run for office again. Former GOP Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler says, "I don't know. I'd be surprised if I didn't, but I see zero path or reason at this point." Former Democratic Rep. Conor Lamb on whether he will challenge Sen. Fetterman, "I'll probably give it some thought."

Former Democratic Rep. Barney Frank has a message for progressives as he enters hospice: "I think they make a mistake by taking the most controversial parts of the agenda and turning them into a litmus test."

US Attorney Jeanine Pirro on case against alleged press dinner gunman: "We have a lot of evidence that indicates his intent... whether it was, you know, following what the president was doing, where he was going, to the day of the of the event at the hotel. Tracking on his phone: Is the president in the ballroom yet? Has the president sat down yet? What time will dinner be served? This is clearly — the president is a target. And make no mistake, it is not just the manifesto, it is his actions."

Joel Embiid: "I have a message for our fans. Last time we played the Knicks, it felt like [Philly] was Madison Square Garden East. We're gonna need the support. Don't sell your tickets. This is bigger than you...If you need money, I got you."
