The campaign to unmask Jane Doe started with a plea on X. Then came a bounty. It grew to nearly 25,000 posts purporting to name the woman alleging rape at Cornell, coming from trolls and attention-seekers @debra_kamin @amyjharris @RMac18 @HurubieMeko nytimes.com/2026/10/16/reale…

The targeting of journalists in the West Bank and Gaza has been consistent and explicit. Visible markings don't matter if the point is to suppress information and sunlight. Wishing @Heidiphotos a full recovery, and hope this sparks some reflection among American media. We have been too silent as Palestinian journalists in particular faced similar violence or were killed.

To be clear: Some facts are neither in dispute nor unclear. Our photographer was clearly marked as Press. She was clearly beaten. These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable. We urge a thorough investigation and accountability.
The Prime Minister’s Office: The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation. Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable. But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual. The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence. We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria. The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.

No bigger red flag as a journalist than when powerful people or their allies start issuing prebuttals to a story you haven’t even put out. Only means you’re getting closer to valuable information

New: Susie Wiles has told cabinet officials no more foreign travel unless absolutely necessary, and that all international travel must be approved by her. It comes after Sec. Brooke Rollins’ “aggressive international travel” last year to Vietnam, Japan, India, Peru, Brazil, and the UK last year. Wiles wants the cabinet focused on domestic travel ahead of midterms w/ @dlippman politico.com/newsletters/wes…
