Three weeks after 9/11, the city chose a cover-up over public safety. Jon Stewart described poison in the air and ground, coating clothes, pets, and air conditioners for months. People who survived the attacks were sent into toxic dust because “business as usual” mattered more.

We will pay a fortune for Trump to fly to Ireland this week with his massive Secret Service detail and grifter entourage to watch the Irish Open at his golf course but will meet with the president of Ireland for a few minutes to make it look like he’s going for official business.

He's right, it was a long time ago. I can't remember if I was working on campus here in Princeton signing students into classes or if I was heroically leading the recovery effort at Ground Zero, bravely digging through rubble with my bare hands. Time, am I right?

"Secretaries of defense must grasp the economics of the defense industry, the nature of alliances, congressional politics, the policy process, and dozens of other issues for which Hegseth seems to care little and about which he knows even less."
In a time of war, however, Hegseth’s shortcomings may prove deadly. Leave aside his early stumbles, including the mishandling of sensitive information. Leave aside, even, that Hegseth dissembled about the severity of Iranian attacks on U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf that had succeeded in disrupting the logistical support for American forces in the theater and led to the kind of deprivations that were suffered by the crew of the aircraft carrier the USS Abraham Lincoln. Hegseth’s incompetence, and his commitment to staying in Trump’s good graces, helped launch the war itself in the first place.

Model pinpoints glaciers at risk of collapse due to climate change

Glacier collapse may have triggered 'almost incomprehensible' Nepal flood
Scientists don't yet know exactly what triggered the Nepal flood, but they suspect a glacier collapse and suggest climate change also played a role.
