Last week, Nolberto Armando Sanabria Meza was delivering food to customers to earn extra money to help support his family back home in Venezuela. He was on his moped when a U.S. Park Police chase of a suspected stolen car ended in a crash, killing him.

Since last week, Craig Paulette and a small group of others have spent almost every night at the Reflecting Pool chanting in support of the algae that has thrown a high-profile wrench in President Trump’s multimillion-dollar plans to beautify the landmark.

The protesters said they care about algae, but what they really care about is drawing attention to what they said the algae represents: the ludicrousness of the president’s Reflecting Pool project. My latest, on Team Algae for @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Also love NYT's McCraw taking the politics out of press rights: "This was not an attack on the left. This was an attack on independent journalism. It was an attack on people who believed journalists should ask hard questions. Independent journalism works for all of us."

All of this was from interview with @liamjscott.bsky.social in WaPo's Press Freedom Desk. Last question was if suing Pentagon could make NYT more of a target for Trump admin. McCraw quipped: "Oh, I don’t think we could be more of a target." Worth a free sub: s2.washingtonpost.com/4672080/69cd...

NYT lead newsroom lawyer, David McCraw, was asked about risk of losing Pentagon access case and setting precedent for Trump to restrict press further. Perfect quote about not chickening out: "What’s worse than losing is falling in line, because it simply encourages more of this to happen."
