Ten years ago today, I covered the dedication of a memorial in D.C. that memorializes the death of millions of Ukrainians in the famine of 1932-33 as a deliberate act by the Soviet Union. It's a block from Union Station near the Dubliner

Russia Asks to Buy Boeing Jets With Frozen Assets in US Talks. It would be absolutely outrageous if the US agrees to this instead of handing over the Russian assets for compensation to Ukraine. I seriously hope this isn’t even being considered.

Excellent summary of what's at stake: The AP and Trump administration renew court fight over White House press access https://t.co/XPpWf9Mfjk

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

Hummingbirds are back!

[Sir William Browder KCMG @Billbrowder]

Ever since Putin invaded Ukraine and we froze $350 billion of Russian central bank reserves, it’s been obvious we should confiscate it and give it to Ukraine. I’m happy UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron publicly making that point. It makes moral, political and financial sense

Partition, a religious minority oppressed, armed struggle, colonialism, terrorism, peace talks and, eventually, talk of a one state solution?
I wrote about whether the British have finally, inadvertently, turned a united Ireland into a real possibility.

Hummingbird still here Oct 4

Amazing. I've read bits and pieces about this, but this is the first time I've read a comprehensive summary.

Hummingbirds are finally back in our yard. We were concerned they had overlooked us this year. Yeah!

[Brian Tumulty @NYinDC]

@JonCampbellNY I once covered a press conference featuring New York City Mayor Ed Koch held in Yonkers within a stone's throw of the Bronx line. With his trademark deadpan delivery, Koch referred to the location as "upstate."

[Jon Campbell @JonCampbellNY]

"I know upstate," Hochul says. "I know exactly where it starts, too."

(Hochul has consistently said she believes upstate begins north of Westchester.)

Robin’s nest in our front yard; recently saw a box turtle, two rabbits and a rather large black snake in the back yard; we have had up to five bluebirds at a feeder this year but still no sign of hummingbirds
