Jake Sullivan had his spokesperson call into NPR *during @akbarshahidahmed.bsky.social's interview* to complain he was treated unfairly in Ahmed's book about how the Biden administration fathered the Gaza genocide. Sullivan wants us to know he was in fact "working tirelessly" to help Gaza.

"At least six babies in Pennsylvania have been born infected with measles, with two so sick they had to be admitted to intensive care. Congenital measles is a disease that’s rarely, if ever, seen in the U.S..." www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

This club raid in CO, which resulted in 115 immigration arrests, didn't get much attention. The feds claimed "significant drug trafficking" & "prostitution." 16 months later, there's been only one conviction tied to the raid – a security guard's misdemeanor possession. www.9news.com/article/news...

The New York Times on CROSSING THE RED LINE: “Indispensable... Ahmed doesn’t merely document decisions [by Biden & his aides on Gaza]. He also illuminates the habits of mind that underlay those decisions—habits that will require a political revolution if the Democrats want to uproot them."

I wrote last year about @jessicaschulberg.bsky.social’s coverage of an Oklahoma death-row convict who was spared by a GOP governor, just moments before the scheduled execution. Someone who can handle a story like this ought to be hired pronto by a first-rate news org. www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...

Today is my last day at HuffPost. After 11 years, I was laid off as part of the 33% cuts at BuzzFeed. My team, the National desk, was cut from 7 reporters to 3, after being cut from 14 to 7 just over a year ago

Somewhere in a sweltering desert, cockroaches scurry around the cell of Carlitos Ricardo Parias. He holds up a plastic bottle, gazing at the worm-like creatures swimming in his water. His other arm is turning purple from a gunshot wound for which he says he hasn’t received proper medical care.

Days before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...
