With the abrupt shutdown of USAID funding, many clinics, including those serving women in remote areas, have shuttered. Midwives are reporting that mothers and babies are dying as a result.

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

🚨 BREAKING: After torpedoing yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky, JD Vance fled to Vermont for vacation—only to be met by hundreds of furious protesters. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy!

An NPR review of new data added to DOGE's "wall of receipts" finds the group quietly changed previous errors, added new ones and still has little verified savings to show for its work.

Back on the road. Another long haul, this time to Kerala, India to teach a workshop for the Ross School. Looking forward to seeing a part of the subcontinent that I have never visited before.

Because of DOGE, countless Americans are going to die.

The packing never gets any more enjoyable. Hitting the road again. This time to Nigeria, 🇳🇬, Africa’s most populous nation. It will be my first time there. Looking forward to the energy, Afrobeats rhythms and experiences, if not the searing heat at this time of year!

President Trump's inaugural address was a misleading assessment of the U.S. It has a growing economy, falling inflation, slowing illegal immigration, a record-breaking stock market, the lowest levels of violent crime in years and a military that has limited engagement in conflicts around the world.

Lovely Sunday morning outside Valencia at the blessing of the animals.

In October, I spent three weeks in Ukraine for @npr.org reporting stories throughout the country. One of those was on the Russian offensive on Ukraine’s coal region. www.npr.org/sections/the...

If you ask me, this would have been a much better choice for Time’s Person of the Year.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

Torrential rains in Valencia caused flooding that killed more than 200 people. Among residents, anger is seething as they ask whether such a calamity had to be so deadly and why they were not alerted in time.

An incredible story from @npr about the man who secretly photographed the Nazis in occupied France. www.npr.org/2024/10/28/n...

“For one Cabinet nominee to be accused of sexual impropriety may be regarded as misfortune. For two Cabinet nominees to be thus accused looks like carelessness,” Quinta Jurecic writes. “For four—well, that moves beyond carelessness into outright malice”:

It’s been over 3 weeks since the disastrous floods in Valencia. Volunteers are still helping out and the regional and federal government response is still lacking. The outpouring of support from locals has been inspiring.

Breaking News: The ICC issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a former Israeli defense minister for war crimes in Gaza. It also issued a warrant for Hamas’s military chief. Follow live updates.

Spectacular sunrise this morning over the Mediterranean. Valencia, Spain.

Thinking of Mexico. Oaxaca, a few years ago.
