This is jaw dropping news. I've covered the Pentagon since around the Thomas Jefferson administration and I've NEVER heard of a top Pentagon leader disappearing like this into a hospital for an entire week without disclosing it to the public.
BREAKING: @SecDef was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on the evening of Jan 1 for complications following a recent elective medical procedure. He is recovering well and is expecting to resume his full duties today, says DOD spox

🧵The lack of disclosure that Sec Def was ill is a huge strategic failure. As of tonight I do not see a way forward for believing the Pentagon tells the truth on anything. Reporters are always skeptics but this goes far and deep beyond that always professional skepticism.

NEW DETAILS: A just-released Haneda ATC transcript points to *failure by the crew of the Japan Coast Guard plane* only moments before #JAL516 slammed into it.
The damning new evidence shows the tower told Coast Guard JA722A to taxi to spot C5—short of (but not on) runway 34R.

A Japanese coast guard aircraft which collided with a passenger plane at Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport was instructed only to “taxi to holding point” & had NOT been cleared for takeoff, an official transcript of air traffic control communications suggests.

Dozens of journalists around the globe have disappeared since CPJ began keeping records.
And 2024 is another year of tirelessly advocating for them. They are #MissingNotForgotten.

Today’s my 18th anniversary at @AJEnglish
I’m one of the team that launched the channel in Doha in 2006. I’ve done a bit of everything at AJE and my favorite is what I do now, field producing. I also did reels for Snap during the 2016 elections, that’s my second fave

The same mayor who talks about his New York attitude when criticized takes a very sensitive approach when it comes to the press. A New York attitude goes both ways — and the administration just looks so thin skinned as mayor attacks individual reporters for doing their jobs
“Some of you are very mean to this administration,” @NYCMayor says when asked if DM Banks could have used more decorum when speaking w reporters. Banks — who is only deputy mayor not at off topic Tuesday — was angered as a reporter tried to ask questions, calling it “clown hour”

#RogueWaves are greater than twice the size of surrounding waves and are very unpredictable. They often come unexpectedly from directions other than prevailing wind and waves. @CNN
#HighSurf - Watch when a rogue wave hits the beach at the end of Seward Ave in the City of Ventura. This occurred during the high surf advisory at high tide. Because of this wave eight people were transported to local hospitals. Currently the beaches are closed in Ventura County and so is the Ventura Pier. For your safety, please avoid the area near the ocean, as it can be quite dangerous.
