When Trump raided John Bolton last year it was met w/ immediate outrage in the opinion pages of NYT, WSJ, WaPo, Atlantic & New Yorker. Since Rep Omar was raided Mon––and subsquently threatened w/ deportation––these same outlets have been silent. I wrote about this double standard
Unlike the raid on John Bolton, the targeting of Omar has elicited zero condemnation from NYT, WSJ, and Washington Post. theintercept.com/2026/10/15/…

A huge loss. RIP to Laura Lytle, who led the Senate Daily Press Gallery with humor, skill and resolve during a tumultuous time in history, including January 6, 2021. We'll all miss her. rollcall.com/2026/10/15/jour…

Scoop: The 25-year-old who bombed a Palm Springs abortion clinic in May 2025 planned the attack with an unnamed generative AI tool that failed to detect his request for bomb-making instructions, per the FBI theguardian.com/technology/n…
The "source" here is the person going on the record to say Guilfoyle asked for $100k and providing the messages
Asked about WSJ reporting on Kimberly Guilfoyle—which includes her texts—Rubio turns his fire on the press: “I’m not playing this game with you.”
“I don’t even know if it’s true or not true.”
“You guys somehow walk around thinking that because some source told you something and you reported it, it’s the gospel. It’s not the gospel. It’s not the gospel for me.”

At 1pm ET, CNN will air my discussion of CROSSING THE RED LINE w/ @amanpour. Probing horrific Biden-Trump continuity from Gaza to Iran + efforts by US officials to rewrite history & distract from bloodshed with one of the key chroniclers of our era was such a privilege. Tune in🙏🏽

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.
At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.
It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

Honored an excerpt from CROSSING THE RED LINE is out in @guardian
My reporting found the patterns among Biden-Harris officials which fueled atrocities in Israel-Palestine also shaped the doomed Biden-Harris campaign. For 2028, a reflection could be key

The University of Washington canceled its scheduled Hasan Piker event after the university said the planning process "did not meet the necessary level of rigor."
If the decision was based on process — and not public backlash or criticism — @UW should be transparent about what standards were not met and how they were applied.
Public universities can set standards for events. But they can’t use those standards as cover for canceling a speaker because of their views.

The emails, which are a partial list of invitations, show that Luckey has held fundraisers over the last seven years for at least 20 Republican politicians, ranging from Trump to a California attorney general candidate.
