A heartfelt thank you to everyone who showed up for @DanEggenDC memorial at The Washington Post yesterday. So touched by the stories and support from the community of journalists, friends and family. Dan hated attention but he would have loved this. Grateful❤️

The first call I made on my first newspaper story was to Barney Frank. His office took a message, my phone rang, I answered “Hello this is Michael Grun—“ and before I could finish my name he said “I know that, you called me, whaddya want.” RIP to an awesome no bullshit guy.

An interesting comment by NASA Administrator Isaacman at the ASCEND conference this morning: "The next time the world tunes in to watch astronauts fly around the Moon, which will be likely in sometime in 2027, they will be taikonauts, and America will no longer be the exclusive power to send humans into the lunar environment."

Trump's all-too-rare cooperative impulses should be encouraged. But when he expresses them, the MSM and the Blob give him negative feedback. My @NonzeroNews piece on the US-China summit: nonzero.org/p/trumps-accid…

SCOOP: Paramount leadership has had informal discussions about changing Bari Weiss’s mandate at CBS News (and, eventually, CNN) in ways that would give her less control over TV.

@ZeroDayMedia4U If you don't think designing and building an ENTIRELY NEW VEHICLE AND PAD just 7 months after the last flight rapid iteration, then I don't know what is. They're finally slowing down to try and do things right. V3 has a lot riding on its shoulders.

@RVAwonk Why would Trump allow these people back? He tried to deny folk during COVID reentrance into the US, and he said this in 2014 about Ebola.

The stakes for this week's Starship launch are high. The US commercial space industry is depending on lower launch costs and higher capacity. NASA’s lunar ambitions, to a great degree, hinge on its success. And the stakes are highest of all for SpaceX.

Masha did not survive.
Siobhán O'Grady@siobhan_ogrady
An 18-year-old dug out a victim while waiting for more help to arrive. He spoke to her to keep her conscious, touched her leg so she didn’t feel alone. He later learned her daughter, Masha, is still missing under the rubble. Her prom is in 2 weeks. nytimes.com/2026/05/14/wor…

I'm just gonna repost this tweet here — since WSJ clearly has a problem crediting other reporters’ scoops. 🙄
Not the first time. Happened when I reported Warsh was Trumps pick for the Fed too. But alas, here we are 🤷♀️

SCOOP: FDA chief Marty Makary's job is in jeopardy, as the WH considers an FDA shakeup. Two well-placed sources tell me he's likely to be axed in coming weeks — though, I'm told, nothing is final. (Worth noting: the WH's official line is still to stand by him, as I put in the story.) As WSJ reported yesterday, Makary has angered the president by slow-walking flavored vapes. But he's also upset MAHA and pro-lifers — two key parts of Trump's 2024 coalition — as well as top officials in the West Wing. The perception is that he pushes his own agenda, not the president's — and thus has gotta go. I'll be talking more about this on THE HUDDLE.

@ChildrenNeedUs_ @astrogrant @NASAAdmin @NASA Oh thank you! I did get nice reviews. Sales=meh. But I liked the book. X-Files was hot, Roswell had a big anniversary, "abductions" common. Seems like there's been a rebound of UFO/UAP since NYT [expletive deleted] decided it was front page news. washingtonpost.com/magazine/2021/…

I'm going nuts here not to be annoying, but because the discovery of life beyond Earth would be the greatest discovery in human history, and so reporting around *any* evidence should be deeply serious and carefully researched. UAP discourse is a sea of grift and crazies, sorry.

A reminder to our media friends that 100% of the Apollo material released today has been public for decades. The "shocking" audio "released" from Apollo 17 is literally in a Daft Punk song. The document below is from the Apollo 11 technical crew debriefing, made public in 1977.
English
Dr. Frank, with respect, why haven't you acknowledged the fact that NASA discovered microbial life on Mars in 1976?
Surely that's a less sensational issue that UFOs, yet even NASA and academia pretend like it didn't happen.
Adam Frank@AdamFrank4
Yes, scientists should never discuss scientific issues like evidence for life in the Universe in public. No more scientists on TV!

Now it’s Anderson Cooper time. I ❤️ talking about Astrobiology in any form.

Lisa has been so generous with sources and taught @hannah_natanson and I so much about the ins-and-outs of Social Security and the federal government. She’s not on Twitter anymore and can’t see this, but the Pulitzer winning coverage is thanks to her decades of reporting.
Paul Kane@pkcapitol
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…

@SenSchumer Better yet, Senator, you could point out that this is a zombie conspiracy theory embraced by many of the same people who hate the federal government and have led to massive departures of scientists washingtonpost.com/magazine/2021/…

For decades, UFO disclosure has been a distant object — unidentified and unexplained.
That’s starting to change. I’ll keep pushing until we land on the truth.
