Why don’t White House reporters keep the same energy with Benjamin Netanyahu? There have been more than 200 reporters murdered in Gaza by the IDF.

Damn, that’s crazy about Ryan’s ties to Khashoggi, and that he texted Jared Kushner about it that day!

Idk how Ryan Grim can stay so professional in the face of all this I’d be absolutely raging 24/7 and losing my cool constantly. Kudos to Ryan for keeping up the great journalism in the face of all the tragedy he has been in or around.

"It was a mistake, you know, bureaucratic error. He wanted documents in order to make sure he could get married. They thought he wanted to be chopped into pieces. These kinds of mistakes happen." For Ryan, this is personal.
