The federal government will launch a new gun buyback scheme in response to the Bondi beach terror attack in what Anthony Albanese says will be the biggest collection of weapons since the Port Arthur massacre nearly three decades ago.

After this weekend’s antisemitic terror attack in Australia, it is more important than ever that people assemble for Hanukkah.
May the Festival of Lights shine brightly in Jewish homes and communities throughout the world.

There’s a world that potentially exists where all five UCLA starters get drafted in the first round.
Charlisse Leger-Walker is making a case for that.

real ones know there is only one correct way to travel from NYC to DC (Amtrak northeast regional cafe car)
Q: Why did you fly here? Aren't trains greener?
MAMDANI: I will use every form of transit and I want to make sure they are all affordable in NYC
TRUMP: That's a lot quicker too, in all fairness. I'll stick up for you.

The #NWSL, where we just marveled at a 75 yard yard by Marta last week to close out a quarterfinal, and a week later, stunned by Kouassi making a 100 yard sprint for an opening goal sequence in a semifinal.

Tapping in as a city kid who only learned to drive in my 20s thanks to @wmata.com! As a teenager, the ability to go places on my own made life *so much better* for me as well as my parents.
One more thing. When I wrote about this study showing one-third of Americans don't drive, people were messaging me saying this cannot be true for LA.
In LA County *23 percent* of the population is under 16. Kids are people! We must plan for their movement, just like all nondrivers. Hope that helps!

Highly recommend diving into NRDC's study on car access, which @keawilson.bsky.social wrote about here: usa.streetsblog.org/2025/10/02/report-16-million-have-no-car-access-at-all
Where Nadir was killed, 14% of LA households are car-free. But the infrastructure does not match that reality
