The 501(c)(3) I keep mentioning here not only documents misbehaviour by government lawyers, but also celebrates government lawyers like Elizabeth Yusi, who are defending the rule of law while facing pressure from their superiors!

Israel-Hamas peace deal signed in a ceremony by leaders of the US, Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, but not Israel or Hamas, nor any other Palestinians.
Has that ever happened before? The famous US-Japan peace signing ceremony featured US and Japanese leaders. Sadat and Begin signed the Camp David Accords.

John Oliver is a treasure, and I'm glad that this staggering work of genius also took the time to discuss Wari Beiss' Fake University, along with all the other things.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

“For two years now, every night we go out under the moon and say, "Good night, Daddy Omri," hoping he hears, hoping he feels.
Today, for the last time.

Tomorrow, Roni and Alma will say it to Daddy himself 🎗️ “

Seeing such familiar names now being released seems utterly surreal. Just an incredible moment
Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins • 6m Omri Miran was one of the seven living hostages just handed over to the Red Cross. Kaitlan Collins Y @kaitlancolli... •11h I first spoke with Moshe Lavi in November 2023, one month after his brother-in-law was kidnapped by Hamas. He told me then how his sister would take their daughters out to look at the stars at night and wish goodnight to dad - something she continued for two years. Omri Miran H Haaretz 18 minutes ago Father of hostage Guy Gilboa Dalal: Guy handed over to Red Cross, will be handed over to IDF in 15 minutes Ilan Dalal, father of Israeli hostage Guy Gilboa Dalal, said that his son "was handed over to the Red Cross, and in fifteen minutes he is expected to be handed over to the IDF, and then he will arrive here." He added, "This is a dream come true, we are euphoric, very excited and dying to hug him."

N12 coverage over the past hour or so: joyful celebration. Multiple laudatory mentions of Trump and Witkoff. Not a single mention of Bibi, Smotrich, or Ben-Gvir.
