"Weak. Despondent. Concerned." Those are a few of the words used to describe the Democratic party. @elizacollins1 and I chatted with voters aged 18-81 about the party and the midterms. Check out the engaging – and sometimes spicy – conversation. wsj.com/video/what-democrati…

Latest @WSJ: The damage done to U.S.’s sole naval base in the Middle East—along with hits to at least 20 U.S. sites across the region, including military installations and diplomatic facilities—has the U.S. re-evaluating its entire footprint in the region. wsj.com/world/middle-east/ir…

Trump is amassing firepower in the Middle East as he pressures Iran to make a deal. It’s a playbook he’s used before, but Iran is very different from Venezuela. Here’s a breakdown of the military buildup: wsj.com/video/trumps-militar… w/ @milanczerny @deniseduana + Rachel Rogers

Sagitta is the 7th dark fleet tanker the U.S. has gone after since December. Our video shows how the shadow fleet operates and how it's at risk now that the Trump administration has created a playbook for disrupting it youtu.be/WJSJOiYzHRM?si=zmOz…

Through #OpSouthernSpear, the @DeptofWar is unwavering in its mission to crush illicit activity in the Western Hemisphere in partnership with @USCG, @DHSgov and @TheJusticeDept. This morning, U.S. military forces, in support of the Department of Homeland Security, apprehended Motor Vessel Sagitta without incident. The apprehension of another tanker operating in defiance of President Trump’s established quarantine of sanctioned vessels in the Caribbean demonstrates our resolve to ensure that the only oil leaving Venezuela will be oil that is coordinated properly and lawfully. As the joint force operates in the Western Hemisphere, we reaffirm that the security of the American people is paramount, demonstrating our commitment to safety and stability. These operations are backed by the full power our elite joint force team deployed in the Caribbean. @USNavy @USMC

V excited to test how well this works 🦅👀
For those that missed it, @googleearth (online) added the historical imagery feature (previously exclusive to Google Earth Pro). A very nice feature when combined with the timelapse and for sharing analysis based on change over time.

You need to read every line of this Wall Street Journal story on Trump, Vance and the Haitians in Springfield, Ohio. It's fantastic. There is something revelatory in every paragraph - and dispiriting about our politics. wsj.com/us-news/springfield-… @Kris_Maher @vbauerlein @Tawnell

One of my favorite details about yesterday
How I spent yesterday: watching the complicated and choreographed multi-country prisoner and hostage exchange involving several planes in Ankara airport. The plane on the right took Evan and other American hostages home.

A tense morning but ultimately joyful day in the newsroom - couldn’t happen soon enough!

🧵On March 29, 2023, Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia for doing his job. He was wrongfully convicted this month and sentenced to 16 years in prison. We’re offering resources for those who want to show their support for him. #IStandWithEvan 🧵 wsj.com/Evan

Evan has missed so much in the 434 days he’s been sitting in a Russian prison, locked up for being a reporter. Last weekend, he missed his college reunion. Fellow alumni stood with Evan, as we do every day. He cannot be released soon enough.⁦@BowdoinCollege⁩ #IStandWithEvan

A fascinating look at the shadow economy that trades in everything from drones and missiles to oil and gold –– China has increasingly foiled U.S.-led efforts to squeeze the economies of authoritarian regimes such as Russia and Iran wsj.com/world/how-america-in…

It's World Press Freedom Day. Evan Gershkovich, has had his freedom deprived for more than 400 days, simply for doing his job as a reporter. He is sitting in a Russian prison instead of chronicling events outside of it. We cannot say it loud enough: Free Evan. #IStandWithEvan

Replying to @WKCRFM
@WKCRFM reports that NYPD threatened to arrest student journalists -- and even Columbia Journalism School Dean @jelani9 -- if they left Pulitzer Hall. After the university's shelter-in-place order, reporters wanted to leave to see the events unfolding on the main lawn.
