“Keep that faith. Keep your courage. Stick together. Stay strong.
Do not yield. Do not flinch. Stand up!
...We're Americans. We're Americans and we’ll never surender.”
—Senator John McCaIn, September 4, 2008

Watch this interview on NBC this morning @SavannahGuthrie did with retired NYPD Captain John Monaghan, and try not to break down.

This morning, our nation pauses to remember the nearly 3,000 people killed on September 11, 2001.
The NYPD holds especially close the memory of the 23 members of the department who were killed at the World Trade Center that morning, and the more than 500 members who later died from illnesses connected to the rescue and recovery effort.
May the memories of all those we have lost be an eternal blessing. And may we always be worthy of the legacy they left in our hands.

When the twin towers fell on Sept. 11, 2001, among the thousands killed was the one man who may have known more about Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda than any other person in America: former FBI agent John O'Neill. to.pbs.org/4yjlOdA

On Feb. 26, 1988, NYPD Officer Eddie Byrne was shot & killed—ambushed —as he sat in his patrol car guarding a witness. A cop for only 7 months, his murder impacted policing across America. We will #NeverForget his legacy of heroism, service, and sacrifice.
The public can & should play a role in finding this suspect. During my time at the NYPD suspects were regularly identified and cases solved with the public’s input & help 🙏🏻
Let’s do it again 👀⬇️
Today, the FBI is increasing its reward up to $100,000 for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.
New identifying details about the suspect in the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie have been confirmed after a forensic analysis of the doorbell camera footage by the FBI’s Operational Technology Division.
The suspect is described as a male, approximately 5’9” - 5’10” tall, with an average build. In the video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack.
We hope this updated description will help concentrate the public tips we are receiving. Since February 1, 2026, the FBI has collected over 13,000 tips from the public related to this case.
Every tip is reviewed for credibility, relevance, and information that can be acted upon by law enforcement. Threat Intake Examiners at the National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) and FBI personnel are supporting a 24-hour command post in which dozens of agents and investigators are assigned leads and tips to action each shift.
Media outlets should direct tips they receive to the FBI. Additionally, we do not comment on tips and information we receive regarding ongoing investigations.
Continue to submit information to the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or tips.fbi.gov to help us bring Nancy home.

Sir Mark Rowley is doing a fantastic job with the turn around of the Met, despite enormous culture & bureaucratic obstacles. Bravo to a safer city

NEW: 93 murders in London (pop: ~9m) in 12 months to October.
The city's murder rate is now lowest for decades; perhaps centuries. comment.press/7892

NEW: Is the internet changing our personalities for the worse?
Conscientiousness and extroversion are down, neuroticism up, with young adults leading the charge.
This is a really consequential shift, and there’s a lot going on here, so let’s get into the weeds 🧵

“Here, in this place where the West held together, let us make a vow to our dead. Let us show them by our actions that we understand what they died for. Let our actions say to them the words for which Matthew Ridgway listened: ‘I will not fail thee nor forsake thee.’” ~Reagan

On Saturday I raced the historic first women's @milansanremo in 20 yrs, my first race back after a long break. I supported my teammate Noemi Ruegg who placed 3rd! Getting this monument on the women’s calendar is a huge milestone, but the men's race had 9x more prize money & more TV coverage. We are still fighting for more equality. You can help us close that gap by watching more women’s racing! 💪🏼 . My next races you can watch on tv will be:
April 18: @DeBrabantsePijl
April 20: @Amstelgoldrace
April 27: @LiegeBastogneL
Here’s how to watch:
USA: HBO MAX
Canada: Flobikes
Europe: Peacock

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is a world treasure. For 75-years, this storied organization has made the world safer. Audiences view us as lifelines to the free world. Attempts to defund @RFERL would be a massive gift to America's enemies, many of whom are already celebrating

For 80 years, the United States government has believed government funded information distributed to people whose governments try to stifle that information--or punish those who obtain it--has been in the national interest.
This began with @VOA, which beamed its first broadcast into the Soviet Union in 1942. It expanded with @RFERL in the 1950s, each of which were initially run by CIA. The goal: send facts over the Iron Curtain to try and win the Cold War.
In the 1980s, the geography expanded: Radio Marti (today the Office of Cuba Broadcasting) reached into Communist Cuba, and @RadioFreeAsia began in the 1990s to reach Asian countries with poor media environments. After 9/11, it expanded to Arabic language Middle East Broadcasting Network, which includes @alhurranews.
And when the information started being blocked by government suppression technology, the US government created the @OpenTechFund, which funded software that allowed dissidents from Iran to China to Venezuela to communicate (@signalapp) and get around firewalls, and Frontline Media Fund, a brand-new incubator designed to create new content distribution, especially in Mandarin
That effort is beginning to end today.

For 51 years, Peter Farley was the heart and soul of the NYPD. He was the ultimate source of joy and kindness, and one of the few things he loved more than his work were the people he worked with.
We're devastated by his passing, and he will be greatly missed by his NYPD family.

Look, I don't know the story of every Olympian in Paris.
But the story of Alaska's Kristen Faulkner, who won a stunning gold medal in cycling yesterday, shocking the world?
I know her story.
Here it is: wsj.com/sports/olympics/kris…
“I learned how to take calculated risks, how to assess risk...if there’s high risk but the reward is high, it might be worth it…What is the risk-reward of being patient versus being aggressive?”
