Interesting piece of history: Neil Sheehan, who published the Pentagon papers in Jun 1971, gave 2015 an interview on how he got those papers under the conditition that this will only be published after his death.

Neil Sheehan died yesterday, so the interview is now published. All know that the source of the papers is Daniel Ellsberg, who still lives.

Ellsberg had one rule for granting access to the papers, because he feared that otherwise the state might start chasing him with fuming wrath: read it, but no copies. Needless to say that Sheehan betrayed Ellsberg, and made a full copy of all the papers and also published this without former discussion/consent of Ellsberg, because he felt that it was necessary and didn't give a damn about the safety of his source.

Since the chase got so close that Ellsberg feared for the worst, he disclosed it by himself two days before the historical Supreme Court Ruling.

So what's the morale of it? If you are a whistleblower, then don't go to the New York Times, because they will betray and burn you.

It was a story he had chosen not to tell — until 2015, when he sat for a four-hour interview, promised that this account would not be published while he was alive.

Delaware Shelter Where Joe Biden Adopted Dog Major Hosting 'Indoguration' for Rescue Canine

The virtual event, co-hosted by Pumpkin Pet Insurance, will celebrate Major's rise to First Dog and will also raise funds for the Delaware Humane Association's lifesaving work.

people.com

President-Elect Joe Biden's dog has made some "major" moves over the past few years.

[...]

Flash forward a few years later and the rescue pooch is preparing to move into the White House with the Bidens' other dog Champ and the family's future pet cat. The move to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is especially noteworthy for Major since he will be the first shelter dog to ever reside at the White House.

To celebrate this big win for rescue pets, Major's former home, the Delaware Humane Association (DHA), is throwing the canine his own "Indoguration" party on Jan. 17, a few days before Joe Biden's Jan. 20 inauguration.

Huh, I wonder what's going on here:


I haven't been able to find any information about even the general nature of what's being investigated here. Although I've seen some hints that suggest it is not connected with the recent festivities in DC. I guess we'll just have to wait for some kind of formal statement.

In Capital, a G.O.P. Crisis. At the R.N.C. Meeting, a Trump Celebration. (Published 2021)

Party members at a gathering of the Republican National Committee endorsed President Trump as the man to lead the party forward, ignoring the turmoil in Washington.

www.nytimes.com

You've gotta be shitting me. First sentence is out of order as it appears later in the article, but what, just what? Man, I hope the Republican party implodes.

Earlier in the day on Thursday, when the president briefly called into a breakfast meeting, he was greeted by applause.

Even as the president faces a possible second impeachment proceeding, this collective exercise in gaze aversion was not the most striking part of the meeting. More revealing was the reason for the silence from the stage: Party members, one after another, said in interviews that the president did not bear any blame for the violence at the Capitol and indicated that they wanted him to continue to play a leading role in the party.

“I surely embrace President Trump,” said Michele Fiore, the committeewoman from Nevada, where Republicans have lost two Senate races and the governorship since 2016. Ms. Fiore, who was sporting a Trump-emblazoned vest, said the president was “absolutely” a positive force in the party.

We can’t exist without the people he brought to the party — he’s changed the direction of the party,” said Paul Reynolds, the Republican committeeman from Alabama. “We’re a different party because of the people that came with him, and they make us a better party.” Reta Hamilton, a committeewoman from Arkansas, said Mr. Trump should play “a leading part” in the G.O.P. in the future for just that reason — “to bring his voters,” she said.

Passenger jet with 62 people aboard crashes during takeoff from Jakarta

Officials lost contact with the plane around 2:40 p.m. local time as it was on its way to Pontianak.

The Boeing 737 had 62 people on board when it crashed. It took off at the Jakarta airport and crashed shortly after. It’s said to have taken a steep dive just four minutes after departing and was considered “missing.”

Flight 182 fell about 10,000 feet in less than 60 seconds, Flightradar24 reports.

The National Search and Rescue Agency in Indonesia found debris in the water near Thousand Islands. It’s not confirmed whether or not the debris that was found is from Flight 182, but it’s suspected that it is, according to the New York Times.

The speed at which the plane fell in its final minute of flight suggests something catastrophic. i.e., it wasn't just an engine failure or some kind of system malfunction.
