Almost certainly a targeted attack at two people who had basically nothing to do with the moment and would have preferred to be home with their families. Compounded tragedy.
NEW: The governor of West Virginia says that two members of the state National Guard shot today in DC have died.

3/ RU attacks seek to reinforce Europe’s reactive approach to RU. The Kremlin is also setting conditions for a possible war with NATO. RU attacks in Europe are ‘reconnaissance by fire’ to assess NATO’s response to Russia’s actions, as well as being information and psychological shaping operations.

11/ I’d suggest that—in a metajournalistic world in which new reporting can’t simply ignore older reporting *or* assume people have read it, nor be taken seriously without acknowledging past reports—this is the *first* point in a structured Trump-Epstein report that new information can be offered.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

I’m happy that my friends & former colleagues in the National Park Service and National Archives & Records Administration are finally able to go back to work today! Despite what some would have you believe, federal civil servants are some of the most dedicated & hardworking people you’ll ever meet.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

This is a sign that Heritage needs to fold its operations. How abhorrent.
