There’s a right way and there’s a wrong way to report on Trumpian extremism. Right way: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/u... Wrong way: wapo.st/4yElwyB
By Chris Cameron

Pentagon officials said on Thursday that the Army officer convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting would be executed in public, a practice that ended in the United States nearly a century ago and is most commonly carried out in a handful of countries, including Iran, North Korea and Afghanistan.

The Pentagon said in a statement that the military execution, scheduled for Dec. 3, would also be broadcast via livestream. Such a broadcast has little precedent, and releasing video of executions is most often associated with extremist militant groups like the Islamic State.By Amy B Wang, Aoife Walsh and Maegan Vazquez

The Defense Department said in a statement Thursday that the firing squad execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be live-streamed for the public to watch.

Earlier Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he wanted the execution to be public.

In the Broadview 6 case, DOJ has filed an apparently sealed request to release grand jury material. Judge Perry was like, "Sure, but you already did that." I have noted that the existing transcript does not match known events.
MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: The Government's request to disclose grand jury materials 272 is granted. That said, the Court notes that the 10/9, 10/16, and 10/23 Grand Jury transcripts - in both redacted and almost entirely unredacted form - are already on the public docket. See Doc. 129-1; 129-2; 229-1; 219; 220; 221. Mailed notice. (jcc,) (Entered: 10/08/2026)

NYFed: By February 2026, Trump's tariffs had contributed 2.9 percentage points to consumer goods price inflation; without tariffs, goods prices would have fallen slightly. The tariffs raised the cost of imported goods AND their domestically-produced competitors.
