Thirteen former FBI agents who were photographed kneeling with protesters in Washington D.C. in 2020 have sued the Trump administration, alleging they were improperly fired by FBI Director Kash Patel despite being cleared of any wrongdoing years earlier.

India’s Aviation Crisis Is All About Too Big to Tame
India’s latest aviation fiasco — about 3,000 flights cancelled since last week — has exposed the ill effects of leaving two-thirds of a fast-growing market in the hands of a single player and allowing it to become not just too big to fail, but also too big to tame.

When away for months filming on location I always take the pups with me so they can be on set or in my trailer. When gone less than a week on promo-junkets they stay home w/ family members so they're not alone in a hotel room all day. How can I not to miss Mabel, Trixie (a/k/a Bat-Mite) & Millie?!❤️

Appreciate the continued focus @atrupar.com's 'Public Notice' team on the overt racism spewing from the president of the United States. It is vile, Nazi stuff that is now permeating not just Trump's press gaggles but official US govt policy. More pundits & news orgs need to cover it, too.
New in PN: Let's call Trump's anti-Somali hate for what it is

It's not "heated" or "divisive." It's Nazi stuff.

The danger of Netflix buying Warner Bros. “is not annihilation but centralization,” Roy Price writes in a guest essay. “When two of the most important sources of premium programming are combined, the marketplace loses an entire programming philosophy.”
Opinion | If Netflix Eats Warner Bros., It Will Be the End of Hollywood
The demise of Hollywood has been predicted many times. If Netflix is allowed to acquire Warner Bros., it might actually happen.

Ukraine needs hundreds of billions in frozen Russian assets, but Belgium and Hungary stand in the way. Here's how to break the deadlock
How to Get Russia’s Billions to Ukraine
I spent four years in Belgium when I was supreme allied commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It is a complicated nation, split in two by religion and language. My military headquarters was at Mons, in the French-speaking, largely Catholic South rather than the Dutch-speaking, Protestant North. The cosmopolitan capital, Brussels, hosts the overall headquarters of both NATO and the European Union.
