President Trump's financial disclosures yesterday showed that one big reason for his soaring income was a big payout from a UAE company. I hope that's not the reason he has been quiet about the UAE backing the RSF militia in Sudan as it engages in mass murder and mass rape. The RSF is now poised to overrun the city of El Obeid and massacre many thousands more people. Trump could avert these mass atrocities by insisting that the UAE tell its pet militia to back off. Will he?

It’s looking for the Circle Cinema where I saw my first movie - Bambi!

Just finished Nicholas Enrich's new book, "Into the Wood Chipper," about Doge's destruction of USAID. It's a window into an asylum in which clueless zealots around Elon Musk were killing aid recipients worldwide without having a clue what they were even doing.

Jeff Bezos's devastation of the writing staff of The Washington Post has been noted. But its photographers have also been fired, all of them. Photographers are incredible journalists, often taking greater risks than we writers do, and the WashPost has had many brilliant ones.

@HarvardMBB Can you share the video shown on Saturday?

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

The Trump administration claims that Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, was armed and a threat when agents shot him in the back and killed him. In fact, as best we can tell at this stage from the multiple videos, he was: a.) a Good Samaritan trying to help a small woman with a backpack whom agents had thrown to the ground and pepper sprayed; b.) unarmed, his legally licensed weapon already having been removed by another agent and taken away from the scene seconds earlier; c.) on his knees, pinned by agents and no threat to anyone at the moment two agents shot him approximately ten times in the back. As with Renee Good, it's disgusting not only that the authorities execute a person in cold blood but also that they lie about it to defame their victim and then block an investigation by local police that might establish the facts.

My video report from the perilous front lines of what President Trump described as “war-ravaged” Portland, a city “on fire,” requiring troops to come save us.

So ICE is going after "bad guys"? Really? In rural Newberg, Oregon, ICE seized Moises Sotelo, a taxpayer and small business owner much respected in the community, winner of an industry award. The community is rallying around him: https://t.co/eGgYGkIDQz

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

Extraordinary development: Danielle Sassoon, a former law clerk to Justice Scalia, member of the federalist society and legal superstar, quit a dream job as acting head of SDNY U.S. attorneys office rather than do Trump’s bidding and drop criminal charges against the NYC Mayor.

That British edition, published by @scribepub, looks mighty sharp. Thanks for reading - it was three years in the works, reporting around the world.

Yamhill, Oregon, is celebrating Beverly Cleary Day on May 11. The late Beverly Cleary is the author of the Henry Huggins and Ramona the Pest series, plus a memoir about growing up in Yamhill. A true Yamhill girl! https://t.co/0unL3B02CR
