I am heartbroken to share that my father, Dr. Inayat Ullah Mangla, returned to his Creator in the early hours of Sunday, Jan. 18. He had recently been diagnosed with lung cancer. He was 81 years old.
Inna lillahe wa inna elaihe rajeeon.
To Allah we belong, and to Allah we return.

I’ve done a lot of cable news interviews over the years, but I still get questions that shock me.

Yaxel Lendeborg is a national treasure
“Watching all the whining and complaining, I lost all respect.”

My teams have always been the Pistons followed by the Knicks but now I gotta root for GSW. I miss @Yaxel_Lendeborg so much! 🥹〽️

Did Elizabeth Holmes coming after me and my sources with everything she had and threatening to sue us out of existence bias me? Yes.
Someone’s always filming something in my neighborhood…just passed by the production of Peter Gould’s upcoming FX/Hulu show Disinherited. A Breaking Bad/BCS alum…may have to see this one!

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.
At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.
It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

Sorry for an essay on a shitty SNL joke but this clip is the PERFECT encapsulation of how Establishment Democrats view Zohran’s social media success versus what he actually does on here.
Zohran’s entire communication style is always clear and effective while simply adapting it to common vertical video production features (good audio, minimal dead air, moving shots). This is especially true when it comes to serious situations like storms, where he focuses on clear recommendations and updates for the viewer. He also incorporates his genuine personality as well into the videos to make them authentic.
This clip, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of that. It assumes Zohran is leaning into a ridiculous TikTok dance trend that doesn’t communicate actual practical information to the audience about flood zones or services the city offers during storms. It could not be further from what Zohran actually does on social media.
This is just a one-off bad joke but it honestly isn’t too far off for how many people in power view Zohran’s social media presence. And that’s also why they’ve never been able to replicate it.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell @jvplive) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same @Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was told by an NFL official to remove the name of Wafaa Akila, an 8-year-old Palestinian girl killed in Gaza, from his eye black during the Texans’ Week 2 game or he would not be allowed to continue playing, according to a league source.
According to Reuters, Wafaa Akila was killed earlier this month by an Israeli airstrike.

i do think we should subscribe to newspapers i guess but it’s hard to convince people that paying for their survival makes sense when they’re now owned by billionaires/private equity companies

Imagine if he extended this much empathetic pain and grief to the victims of a genocide. And that’s the point. He is incapable. His deep pain and grief is for his own wounds first and foremost. Is that his right? Absolutely. He’s putting himself first and we don’t have to. The end.

It appears Sen. Thune has enough votes to pass the Protect College Sports Act.
Last night, I contacted many U.S. Senators’ offices to tell them the truth about the bill.
The PCSA is bad for athletes. A lot of money is being spent in an effort to convince people otherwise.
