It’s okay for hard things to be hard. On the subject of AI and writing, I like the way George Saunders puts it:

[Andy Kroll @AndyKroll]

From the DC Bar's document: "Mr. Martin’s conduct as set forth in Count I violated his oath of office as an attorney admitted to the Bar of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, in which he swore to 'support the Constitution of the United States of America' "...

NEWWW >> D.C. Bar Counsel has initiated formal disciplinary proceedings against Ed Martin, per doc unsealed this morning. A 2025 prelim probe found evidence Martin misused his govt position in trying to coerce Georgetown law school to drop "DEI" classes

Sorry. Phone died. What did I miss? In the meantime, I wrote a book

Pres. Trump is reportedly asking Hill Republicans if he should fire Kristi Noem at DHS, per @PunchbowlNews.

Why's he so angry? Over her testimony about a $200 million self-promotional ad campaign at DHS — about which @propublica broke news last year: https://t.co/0diGezgIMQ

Some fun news 👇👇

It’s a privilege and thrill to work with and alongside such incredible colleagues as I do at @propublica

New images in the search for Nancy Guthrie:

Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors - including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.

Working with our partners - as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance.

Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit https://t.co/m55w5cqC7Y

There are still hundreds of good journalists at the Post. They will, in spite of Bezos, publish stories that expose wrongdoing, educate the public, & save lives.

If you’re mad at Bezos, cancel Prime. Mad at Post execs, write to them & say why. But we need their journalism.

[I’m an inside cat. 📚🐈🎧 @a70sgirl]

@DanEggenDC @AndyKroll Why would we stay when all the good journalists were let go? It’s a propaganda rag now. Good for lining litter boxes.

[Dan Eggen @DanEggenDC]

Please don't do this folks

A note from our editors:

[Andy Kroll @AndyKroll]

I still laugh when I think of Silvio’s line to Tony, “eh, it’s hard to raise kids in an information age.”

[Lincoln Michel @TheLincoln]

This was the norm for the prestige TV era. The Sopranos is hilarious, and The Wire and Breaking Bad were frequently funny. Sadly, most of the TV after kept the cinema quality filming and lost everything else...

[Jodi Kantor @jodikantor]

Incredible story-- with oh my god text messages-- from @mega2e and Isabella Kwai on how Andrew Tate, the manosphere star accused of rape + trafficking, secured his freedom. He was barred from leaving Romania. But he courted Barron Trump, among others. After support from Trump administration officials, and an extraordinary order, he was free. https://t.co/M8lyOuoGzM

I know you probably do not want to read another article about American Canto. I certainly didn't think I wanted to read another article about American Canto. But this is, in fact, the best article I've yet read about American Canto.

Pope Leo on cinema, today at the Vatican, could not be more right (and, dare I say, holy):

The House has been in session for just 12 of the past 100 days since July 24th (by my count).

They were out 40 days for August recess, returned for 12 of 18 days, and now have been out for 42 days - even during a shutdown!

Congress really is just a ceremonial body these days.

[Andy Kroll @AndyKroll]

NEW: I spoke with the inestimable Terry Gross (!) on @nprfreshair about my year-long investigation of Russ Vought, the "shadow president" of Trump's second presidency.

National Guard personnel focused on nuclear disasters and terrorist attacks will instead be given riot-control gear and sent into cities, a sign that Trump military deployments into urban centers "could become the norm" https://t.co/UJha09NSzd @alexhortontx @davidovalle

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Relying on an expansive theory of Presidential power and a willingness to test the rule of law, Russell Vought has laid waste to the federal bureaucracy—firing workers, decimating agencies, and undoing regulations. https://t.co/UMbyoO4G0S
