Some personal news: I'm so incredibly excited to be joining the @latimes Washington bureau.

It's bitter sweet as I leave the @MiamiHerald, my professional home for the past five years. I will miss all my colleagues, and the great work we did together.

.@oaklandrootssc - @NWSL knows how to keep the clock running through stoppage time. Why don’t your time keepers do the same?

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :

“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.

By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.

I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”

— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

🧵 In a highly unusual move, the FCC has asked CBS News to hand over the unedited transcript and tapes from its interview with VP Kamala Harris last fall. CBS says "we are working to comply with that inquiry as we are legally compelled to do."

Last week, it emerged that health insurance leaders pressured the DOJ to bring federal charges against Luigi Mangione. This week, I discovered the top 3 officials at DOJ all collected paychecks from healthcare companies before serving in government: https://t.co/6UChz22CfQ

Heartbroken doesn’t cut it. The subway should be safe and free. The NYPD committed a mass shooting over $2.90, now Gregory Depelche is brain dead. We need to lift people out of poverty, not criminalize it. The NYPD put every person on the train in danger. NYC needs care, not cops

City operations have started this morning at 23rd and MLK. The intersection is being blocked off with fencing. There's barely a line of view into the street that will be cleared today. I can't hear what city staff are telling camp residents, but people are slowly coming out.

Alert! This Oakland policy is an affront to the First Amendment Right: Freedom of the Press!

I'm sitting next to a Lincoln impersonator at the airport bar. He's watching MSNBC reporting on yesterday's assassination attempt. This is easily the most surreal thing I've ever witnessed.

#Burbank, #CA has reached 114F (45.6C). That ties the all-time record for the second consecutive day. September 5-6, 2020 also tied the all-time mark on two consecutive days. All 5 such readings have occurred since 2018. Records go back to December 1939. #cawx
