Arthur nods, β€œMay we keep their stories alive, may we keep their love alive, may we keep this park aliveβ€”this place of healing, this place of hope, this place where we all belong, together.”

Irish President Catherine Connolly shoved Trump behind the smallest desk she could find and my God, she understood the entire fucking assignment. What a legend!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The photo shows Trump signing the standard Distinguished Visitors Book at Áras an UachtarΓ‘in as part of the routine ceremonial welcome in the state reception room, using the desk customarily employed for this by prior visitors including US presidents Biden and Obama. president.ie/en/media-libra… rte.ie/news/ireland/2… commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pres… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81ras…

In 24 years of watching 9/11 memorials and the reading of the names of the dead, I have never heard applause. This morning the crowd did β€” because one brave widow, @TerrySStrada, looked at the leaders in front of her and refused to let the day pass in silence. She called out Saudi Arabia’s role, the broken promises, and a string of administrations that protected the Kingdom instead of helping to deliver justice for the families. A stunning, must-watch minute. Stand with the families.

BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel announces his interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico will NOT air on ABC tomorrow, saying Trump’s FCC has threatened him, his show, ABC, its affiliates, and local stations over β€œsimple traditional editorial decisions” and guest bookings. Kimmel says the full interview will instead be posted to YouTube: β€œIn the America we live in right now, that is the best that we can do until November.”

The soy sauce packet in your takeout bag isn't soy sauce. The biggest maker, Kari-Out in New Jersey, lists water, salt, hydrolyzed soy and corn protein, caramel color and sodium benzoate. No fermentation, no brewing. It's made in a couple of days by boiling defatted soy meal in hydrochloric acid, neutralizing it, then adding color and corn syrup so it looks and tastes close enough. A lot of the bottles on the grocery shelf are the same thing. Kikkoman and the Japanese government went to the UN food standards body years ago and asked that the chemical version not be allowed to use the name soy sauce. The hydrolyzed protein industry and the USDA pushed back and it stayed. The brewed ones say naturally brewed on the label. If the bottle doesn't say it, it isn't.

We NEED more like him.
NEW: Mayor Mamdani is turning New York’s streets into a walking memorial to the everyday heroes of 9/11. Memory Markers uses LinkNYC kiosks to tell dozens of stories where they happened, from 1,000 taxi drivers giving rescue workers free rides to sanitation crews processing 1.5 million tons of debris at Fresh Kills. Their service is part of our history. Now New York will tell it. Explore the map: on.nyc.gov/25years

NEW: European investigations into Jeffrey Epstein are hitting a wall at Trump’s Justice Department. Poland says its request for unredacted evidence went unanswered. Norway says its request remains unapproved. Latvia says it sent several requests for legal assistance. DOJ will not explain the holdup. Trump promised transparency. His Justice Department is now obstructing the search for answers.

Rudy Giuliani told Mamdani to stay away from the 9/11 memorial. The next day, Mamdani released 170,000 pages revealing what Giuliani’s City Hall knew about the toxic air at Ground Zero and what New Yorkers were told. Giuliani told him to stay away. Mamdani showed up with receipts.
MAMDANI is asked whether Rudy Giuliani lied about toxic air after 9/11 and should stay away from Friday’s memorial: β€œThe focus should be on the New Yorkers who were killed, their families, survivors and first responders. It should not be on politicians.” β€œI leave it to New Yorkers to make their judgments. We are finally giving them the documents they have long demanded.”

Male frogs in several species physically wrestle and shove rivals away from breeding territories, sometimes even flipping them into the air I genuinely didn't expect frogs to fight like this πŸ˜‚

This might be the dumbest lie he’s told yet. He was nowhere near ground zero. He fucking called in to brag about how tall his building was
Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump was miles from Ground Zero on 9/11, speaking by phone from his office. He visited the area days later. His story of being lifted from the rubble by firefighters first appeared in 2021 and lacks corroborating evidence. politifact.com/factchecks/202… usatoday.com/story/news/fac… newsweek.com/fact-check-did…

just got off the phone with my university friend. His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in March. He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having. 5 months later: Savings wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren't their problem. He told me he's not the same person anymore. Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn't go away. They did everything right. Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives. One diagnosis all of it in 7 months. And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting $35 million bonus this quarter. I don't know how people defend this system with a straight face. i really don't.
