Higgins defended a video Trump shared depicting the Obamas as apes, said same-sex marriage was “abominable,” and speculated about how many abortions former Kamala Harris might have had, citing her age and claiming she had a “long record of sleeping around.”

Katie Zacharia was in her office with the @WSJ when Jason Miller knocked on the door. “JD wanted to chat with us real quick." Outside Trump was telling reporters he asked her to reconsider the role. She never returned to the interview, or the job. wsj.com/politics/policy/kati…

Merrill College students know their rights as journalists. "Cat Murphy is a master's student at the University of Maryland, credentialed as a reporter for our Capital News Service and doing the job we teach our students to do. Cat recorded openly in a public space alongside other news outlets, and that is her legal right," Dean Rafael Lorente (@DeanLorente) said. "I'm proud of how she handled herself in a difficult situation."
Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

New: White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia calls herself a lawyer. There’s no evidence she was admitted to practice law in the United States, and legal experts say foreign citizens cannot take the bar in China. My deep dive: washingtonpost.com/business/…

Imagine being a high level government official cheering on the bombing of a country and the killing of individuals over a Signal chat, and then seeing: "Jeff Goldberg left the group." The chat has finally been officially released to me by ODNI in response to my #FOIA request.

A CNN investigation has found that while Jared Kushner acted as a key Middle East peace negotiator, his private equity firm held the largest stake in an Israeli company backing businesses tied to Israel's military campaign in Gaza, including its largest arms manufacturer. cnn.it/4y0xe5x

So proud of you Cereese. Keep fighting.
This is Cereese Qusba, the hero investigative journalist for the Cornell Daily Sun who doggedly pursued the story about the Cornell 7 for two years, blowing the lid off what had happened when her article was finally published on the 19th.. With so many dark posts about such a horrific incident, Ms. Qusba’s work shows the importance of journalism in accountability. She is the best of Cornell.

Who says foreign policy is boring?
Kim Jong Un broke off his friendship with Rodman after the last visit where Rodman allegedly got super drunk and allegedly defacated on the hotel room floor. He can’t help Trump with North Korean diplomacy anymore.

NEW w/ @caseytolan: Casey Askar (R) called Sharia a “growing threat” and vowed to join the Sharia-Free America Caucus. But our investigation found he partnered with a firm to expand his brands in the Middle East, with pizzerias marketed as “100% halal.” bit.ly/4zb7ft8

👀 Trump won this district under its redrawn lines by 10+ in 2024, but political observers rate Askar's race against former educator Pia Dandiya as among the most competitive districts in the country that will determine the House majority.

Phoebe Bridgers’ sold out mandatory phone-free arena stadium concert was absolutely amazing. Haven’t felt that kind of collective lock in at a concert in years, maybe ever

Some BBC Dad content. It's been awhile: My birthday; James and I hiking; Marion looking very grown-up; BBC Mom and I at a street festival. James is now 10; Marion is 13.
