Our daughter Nusayba has officially graduated to long-term follow-up care, marking 5.5 years cancer-free.

Georgetown Health Magazine recently featured her story, which captures some of the challenges and hope that defined these years for us.

Hamed AleazizNicholas Nehamas By Hamed Aleaziz and Nicholas Nehamas Aug. 5, 2025, 4:51 p.m. ET On Tuesday morning, Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced in an internal email that it would offer cash bonuses to agents for deporting people quickly, an incentive meant to motivate the staff to speed up President Trump’s mass deportation campaign. Less than four hours later, the agency abruptly canceled what was supposed to be a 30-day pilot program. “PLEASE DISREGARD,” Liana J. Castano, an official in ICE’s field operations division, said in a follow-up email to agency offices around the country.

🚨WHOA. According to @haleaziz.bsky.social, the Trump admin was actually going to implement the ICE "bounties" it has repeatedly said were false, offering $200 per arrest leading to a rapid deportation — and only walked the plan back after the New York Times got a copy of the memo.

A president, setting its country, on fire 🤬

A peacock showing off its art.

After avoiding it during the primary, Andrew Cuomo finally went on the Brian Lehrer Show last week — and lied about his record.

The truth is that universal pre-K was won despite the disgraced ex-Governor, not because of him.

Donald Trump is acting as a DICTATOR. Every U.S. citizen who doesn't give a tinkers damn what the GOP or Trump think...should be making this part of their every day posting.

Repetition is powerful. It works. Trump has used it as a tool to destroy democracy.
We should be using it to fight fascism.

He must not be at all cost.

Over 90 pages of "Alligator Alcatraz" files disappeared as I was looking at them and reporting on the situation. Our public records requests are getting stonewalled. A slew of experts told me this all seems to be illegal. talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/th...

Opinion | The America We Knew Is Rapidly Slipping Away

“The Army secretary, acting on the guidance of a loony Trump acolyte, revoked the teaching appointment of — anyone will tell you — one of America’s most skilled nonpartisan cyberwarriors, herself a graduate of West Point.”

What’s really pathetic about this is Nebraska is yet another POOR GOP welfare state and these voters voters for someone like him. The true fault is the poor Nebraskans about to lose healthcare, food and housing assistance. All because of their hate and ignorance

Comer & his committee are seeking information about Epstein's history.

You know, all the child rape history that involves Epstein's best buddy Trump, who the committee didn't subpoena, and Ghislaine Maxwell, who the DOJ and the SCOTUS are furtively working to set free.

Bondi’s Obama Grand Jury: The Authoritarian Moment We’ve All Feared It’s officially happening: the use of the machinery of justice to go on fishing expeditions about political predecessors. Absolute madness.

Using the machinery of justice to go on fishing expeditions about political predecessors is absolute madness. It corrodes trust in democratic transitions, chills dissent, and redefines political opposition as criminal subversion.

This is it. Freeze it in amber. Hang it in a museum. The ultimate expression of the NYT and the elite class behind it.

The utter moral failure of ceding power to Trump? Acceptable ... if it is done in a clever, savvy way!

Know what you mean, George. Spent quite a few years growing up on the island, after we moved from Brooklyn. Can still remember the smells of past summers. 🌸🌼

The Oversight Committee subpoenaed the DOJ for the Epstein files. They now have 2 weeks to release the files to the committee.

It’s time to find out who’s been protected, who thought they were above the law, and who’s been hiding behind power.

I would very much like the next person who interviews RFK Jr. to ask him for evidence to support this quote, and to not nod stupidly along with his response.

“We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that’s given to whites, because their immune system is better than ours.”

Unsettling, thanks for looking and sharing.💕

Don’t go out of your way. I’m sure it’ll pop up again if there’s anything to it.

Thanks!

Abbott threatens to try to expel Democrats who fled Texas, escalating tensions The Texas state House is set to reconvene at 3 p.m. CT Monday. Democrats have left the state to try to stop Republicans from moving ahead with enacting a new congressional map that would give the GOP five more safe seats. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott visits the White House on March 20, when President Donald Trump signs an executive order aimed at closing the Education Department. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post)

Gov. Abbott can’t expel lawmakers, only the Texas House can do that with a 2/3 vote. His threat to remove Democrats who fled over Trump-backed redistricting is pure political theater, not legally enforceable. No crimes = no extradition.
