She was tackled, held down and punched as the president of the United States called her “scum,” “low-class,” and “a fat guy.” No one has been charged.

Noah Adams, a longtime host of NPR’s “All Things Considered” whose quiet baritone and empathetic ear brought listeners stories not often heard on U.S. airwaves, has died. He was 84. nyti.ms/4i6f8Kv

RIP Caryle Murphy, who reported from inside occupied Kuwait in 1990, hiding from Iraqi troops. She would roll a typewritten story into a tube, dress as a jogger, run past an embassy and throw the tube over the wall to get the story out. @amcovarrubias washingtonpost.com/obituarie…

The total amount spent by Rs on trans-themed ads in 2024 was around $215 million. By next month I bet that much has been spent on trans-themed ads in Texas alone.

Is AOC the first potential 2028er to discuss Neurodivergence and #Neurodiversity? I know Tim Walz has talked about it with his son (I interviewed him about it in my next book) and Tina Smith has. She and Zohran Mamdani met with #ActuallyAutistic students in New York in Sept.

Three years ago, Maria Alejandra Valero Brinez experienced a stillbirth when she was 8 months pregnant.
Now, she is 5 months pregnant and has been detained since August. She says she is having abnormal bleeding and not getting medical care she needs.

We sought comment from you before publication. You didn't respond. A tweet almost 24 hours later is not a comment answering our questions.
The @nytimes article by @apoorva_nyc still says HHS “did not provide a comment.” We sent @SecKennedy’s response more than 24 hours ago and asked them to update the story. They haven’t.
Readers deserve the full story. Here’s the response the Times has yet to include.
