@RealMichaelKay What is the thinking behind playing Ramos ahead of Dominguez? I think it’s indefensible. Ramos has been a zero for the Yankees.

Hiram Bingham IV had a Yale degree, a Harvard law degree, and a prestigious family name.

He threw it all away to save 2,500 Jews.

June 1940. Marseille, France. With Paris fallen and the Vichy regime signing an armistice with Hitler, Article 19 sealed the fate of countless refugees: “surrender on demand” all those named by the Germans — Jews, anti-Nazis, artists, writers.

Tens of thousands flooded Marseille, the last escape port. They lined up at the U.S. consulate, desperate for visas.

Most diplomats followed State Department orders to delay, reject, and slow-walk applications under antisemitic pressure from Breckinridge Long. Many never got a second chance.

Hiram Bingham IV, 36-year-old Vice Consul, refused to comply.
Son of a governor, father of five, he signed visas as fast as he could — to Jews, Communists, socialists, artists, anyone the Gestapo hunted.

He accepted forged papers, typed affidavits, and kept going even after his boss threatened him and Washington demanded he stop.

Working with Varian Fry, he helped save Hannah Arendt, Marc Chagall, Max Ernst, Heinrich Mann, Lion Feuchtwanger, and countless ordinary Jewish families, orphaned children, and elderly refugees.

When needed, he hid people in his own villa and smuggled them to safety. He even paid from his own pocket.

In just ten months, Bingham issued 2,500 visas — an underground railroad run by an American diplomat.

The State Department punished him: demoted to Lisbon, then Buenos Aires.

He continued exposing Nazis in South America anyway.

Passed over for promotion, he resigned in 1946 at 42, with eleven children to support. He returned to a small Connecticut farm, worked odd jobs, and never spoke of Marseille — not to his wife, not to his children.

For 42 years, his heroism remained hidden.

He died in 1988 at 84, forgotten by the world. No major obituary. No recognition.

Then, in 1991, his son found a hidden bundle behind a chimney: documents, cables, and lists of the lives he saved. The family was stunned.

The papers went to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Survivors and their descendants came forward.

In 2002, Secretary of State Colin Powell posthumously honored him with the Constructive Dissent Award.

In 2006, the U.S. Postal Service issued a stamp in his name.

Hiram Bingham IV had every reason to follow orders. Instead, he broke them — knowing it would cost his career, his security, everything. While others obeyed and advanced, he chose what was right.

Today, tens of thousands of people owe their lives to one man’s signature.

A quiet hero who saved 2,500 souls and asked for nothing in return.

Ossoff: He’s trying to put his face on the money. He's building a monument to himself . But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now because no one will honor him when he’s gone… because he's a failed president and a national disgrace.

@dougmillsnyt Just a terrific picture of Trump and his reflection in the article describing Trump’s indifference to the plight of average Americans. Congratulations.

@RealMichaelKay Most disturbing about Rays’ sweep is it demonstrated the deep disparity in basic baseball skills btwn Rays and Yanks, e.g., bunting, throwing to the right base, stealing, base running. They can’t be taught overnight. Bodes ill for Yanks.

@elonmusk This statement is false and you are lying. We have democracy now without the unnecessary voter ID law you support. The proposed law is meant to suppress the votes of people you disfavor.

@RogerJStoneJr You were found guilty and you were pardoned. You’re not half the man or patriot Mueller was.

BREAKING: Trump’s BIGGEST LIE about his Epstein relationship was just exposed in the unredacted Epstein files that Rep. Jamie Raskin just viewed.

After peering behind the curtain, Jamie Raskin isn’t mincing words: the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files looks less like transparency and more like a cover-up.

Raskin told reporters he had just returned from a bleak DOJ satellite office — “four computers in the room” — where Judiciary Committee members are being forced to review supposedly “released” Epstein documents under tight constraints. Congress went there for one reason: to make sure the Epstein Files Transparency Act was honored, victims protected, and perpetrators exposed.

What he found was the opposite.

“There are hundreds and hundreds of pages where identifying information about victims is right there, including people’s names,” Raskin said, calling it a “dramatic departure” from the law’s most emphatic requirement. Survivors’ privacy, he warned, has been compromised—either through “spectacular incompetence and sloppiness” or, as survivors fear, a deliberate warning to others thinking about coming forward.

At the same time, Raskin said the files are riddled with mysterious redactions shielding people who are clearly not victims. Names of “co-conspirators, accomplices, enablers, abusers, rapists” appear to have been blacked out simply to avoid “embarrassment, political sensitivity, or disgrace.”

When pressed, Raskin gave a striking example: Les Wexner—a public figure whose name has appeared elsewhere—was inexplicably redacted. Even more troubling, Raskin described an email chain involving Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell that summarized conversations between Epstein’s lawyers and Donald Trump’s lawyers during the 2009 investigation. That passage—reporting Trump said Epstein was a guest at Mar-a-Lago and was never asked to leave—was redacted “for some indeterminate, inscrutable reason,” Raskin said, noting it appears to contradict Trump’s public claims.

Raskin emphasized the scale of the problem: DOJ has released 3.5 million documents while withholding 3 million more. Members have reviewed only a handful. “There is no way” Congress can vet these redactions before Attorney General testimony, he said—especially with just four computers.

His conclusion was blunt: “I think the Department of Justice has been in a cover-up mode for many months.” The path forward, Raskin argued, runs through the survivors—public hearings, full release of the files, and only one kind of redaction: the names of victims.

Anything else, he warned, deepens the nightmare.

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent.

Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.
