Clarence Thomas had the audacity to rule on ANOTHER matter involving Donald Trump without recusing himself. Clarence Thomas needs to be impeached and disbarred.

After years of covering the Gaza Strip as a freelance photojournalist for the New York Times, I was informed via an abrupt phone call from the US outlet that they will no longer work with me in the future.

Today, Oct 2nd, marks 4 years since my Washington Post colleague Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in a Saudi consulate in Istanbul. We still don’t know where his body is.

That's a MOON of Jupiter. Making an eclipse. On Jupiter. That I'm capturing "from space" 367 MILLION miles away. How could someone NOT become absolutely addicted to this hobby?
