Just got this in my inbox. Really looking forward to a cup of coffee tomorrow morning Petite Cerise .

From pool report:

Senior administration official says President Biden will not go to Jordan after visiting Israel tomorrow. The White House had planned a summit with leaders of Jordan, Egypt and Palestinian Authority.

Jon and I were neighbors for several years, when Hersh was just a toddler. I desperately hope that he, and all the missing or taken, are reunited soon.

On this day each year I am always proud of my great uncle, Joachim Prinz, who spoke on the Washington Mall immediately before the Rev. Martin Luther King at the March on Washington. His message: 'the most tragic problem is silence.'

BREAKING -- The US and Iran have reached a deal to win the freedom of five Americans who have been detained in Iran. The prisoners are in house arrest. When they are released to the US, the US will release some Iranian prisoners and $6 billion in assets. nytimes.com/2023/08/10/us/…

Thinking of everyone in Lahaina, Maui right now. It’s one of my favorite places, and it seems like so much of it is devastated. Crossing my fingers that Kimo’s — an institution in the downtown — survives.

Just had another fantastic brunch at Petite Cerise this morning. The food is so wonderful, and it’s a great way to spend a relaxing Sunday morning. Kudos to chef Jeremiah Langhorne, of The Dabney fame.

And of course, i meant, Theo Baker. Apologies.

.Stanford University President Marc Tessier-Lavigne resigns after investigation prompted by Stanford UniversityDaily reporting found deep flaws in scientific work requiring three papers he co-authored to be retracted and two others to be substantially corrected.

Full disclosure. I've known Theo since he was born, and his parents are close friends. But this is all him -- dogged reporting into the echelon of a powerful institution. The inquiry he prompted was an important validation of his reporting.

BREAKING NEWS -- Stanford's president will step down after an investigation into manipulation of data first triggered by theo baker, a freshman student journalist at the university. I can't think of a more powerful example of accountability journalism. stanforddaily.com/2023/07/19/sta…

The White House on Tuesday:

'...Bidenomics, which is the word of the day, word of the week, word of the month, word of the year here at the White House.'

Biden today:

'I don't go around beating my chest 'Bidenomics' so the press started calling it Bidenomics.'

A little slower, a little softer, a little harder of hearing, a little more tentative in his walk. Read what it’s like for Biden, an octogenarian, to be president. It’s not the easy answer you might think. w/ Peter Baker Katie Rogers Zolan Kanno-Youngs

President Joe Biden has earned the distinction as one of the least accessible president since Calvin Coolidge, doing fewer news conferences and interviews than almost all modern presidents. My story (with an appearance by WHCA president Tamara Keith) nytimes.com/2023/04/21/us/…
