🚨 This Is What Journalism Looks Like.
Kristen Welker asked for evidence.
Trump attacked the media.
She asked again.
🔥 We need more reporters willing to keep pressing when powerful people refuse to answer simple questions.
The press isn’t supposed to be popular with politicians.
It’s supposed to hold them accountable.
This idea that leadership should not get involved in the details might be the worst idea in business.
Because there will always be, by definition, many more detail-level items than big-picture items, most potential causes of failure will be details.
People mistakenly believe leaders shouldn't spend brain cycles on details because they shouldn't *act* at the level of details. OK, you usually don't want executives to literally tighten a bolt themselves, but you do want them to think about that bolt, to care about that bolt, and to ask questions about that bolt.
A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."
The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.
Pope Leo XIV in Madrid: “I encourage you to nurture the process of European Union, which is not merely a counterweight to other powers, but a gift to humanity.”
Wonderful.
A powerful reminder of how beautiful and hopeful the European project truly is.

Russia's greatest export remains death and destruction
This is what a city looks like after the arrival of the "russian world." Toretsk, Donetsk region

Before I leave Ireland, I want to place on record that in the last 24 hours I have received constant stalking and death threats for my reporting. However I will not be intimidated.
What I have uncovered is deeply troubling, and the effort to silence it only makes that clearer.
JUST IN: ALBANIANS CALL FOR PM EDI RAMA TO RESIGN AFTER STRIKING DEAL WITH JARED KUSHNER FOR PROTECTED COASTLINE
“Albania is not for sale. Albania belongs to the Albanian people, and we decide what we want to do here.
It's not that some corrupted politicians can decide what they can do with our property.
He's trying to trade our country as a personal property of him and his family and his collaborators.
We want him to resign.”
Lots of pro russian Irish people telling me to ‘go to the front lines & leave Ireland’
I’ve just come here from Nikopol. The press armour is still in my bag. I watched Russian drones hunt civilians with my own eyes. That’s why the indifference here is so despicable, especially while Ireland still supplies alumina to Russias war machine.
I’m not going anywhere. This investigation continues
One of the most horrifying scenes in human history has been revealed.
When Israel forced thousands in Gaza to collect flour mixed with sand due to severe famine.
A moment the world must never forget.
“The most effective approach is to build a network and built it as quickly as possible.
But bike lanes alone do not make a network. In Dutch cities up to two thirds of the network is in mixed, low-traffic conditions, where the bike is the dominant mode.”

MORE Trump Corruption exposed!
Albanians below are battling police in Tirana over Jared Kushner’s luxury resort bulldozing a protected flamingo lagoon.
Albania fast-tracked the deal on Dec 30, 2024, just days after Trump’s election win.
Then Trump rewarded them with Javelins, a $6B gas deal, and Prime Minister Rama getting a seat on his Peace Board.
The Trump family grift hits Albania but those people aren’t having it. “Albania is NOT for sale!”
Thank you @CaolanReports you are doing very important work. 🙏
