I have news! My memoir, Chasing Hope, will be published May 14 from @AAKnopf! I feel too young to write a memoir, but I hope you enjoy it. Chasing Hope is available for preorder at bookstores and websites (support your independent book store!). Info at: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/720814/c…
Oregon's Yamhill County voted for Donald Trump 3 times in a row, in 2024 by 6 percentage points, and many welcomed Trump's crackdown on immigration. Then ICE detained their beloved neighbor of three decades, Moises Sotelo.... nytimes.com/2025/07/19/opi…
The Israeli Authorities are starving civilians in #Gaza. Among them are 1 million children. Lift the siege: allow UNRWA to bring in food and medicines.
Once again, @WCKitchen we have run out of food in Gaza. Our brave teams on the ground report the security situation has deteriorated significantly, and our ability to operate is severely constrained. We need to get trucks of supplies safely to our field kitchens ASAP so that we…
Our teams in Gaza have again run out of food to cook. We have finished all the stock in hand, and our trucks are stuck at the border. We are continuing to bake bread and deliver water. But the people of Gaza still need a hot meal. Yesterday, we served 80,000+ meals—and we are…
Israel's forced mass relocations of civilians in Gaza is just unconscionable, and the US continues to enable it.
Israel has ordered mass relocations from displacement camps in Deir al-Balah — forcing families who already lost everything to move yet again. 93% of Gaza is now off-limits. This is like relocating the entire UK population to Wales. Overcrowded, aid-dependent communities are…
These massacres by the Sudanese RSF militia are committed with weapons supplied by the United Arab Emirates. The UAE is complicit in these atrocities, fueling Sudan's humanitarian crisis and famine. Both the Biden and Trump administrations have been too quiet about the UAE role.
🚨New Sudan 🇸🇩 Report 🚨 Destruction consistent with arson is visible in satellite imagery from 14 July 2025, corroborating reports of an alleged RSF massacre in Shag Alnom, North Kordofan. 🛰️ @Maxar @CopernicusEU medicine.yale.edu/lab/khoshnood/…
It astonishes me that Republicans and evangelicals, who have been rightly outraged by oppression of Christians elsewhere, back using tax dollars to give Israel weapons with which it oppresses Palestinian Christians in the West Bank and, this week, struck a church in Gaza.
I've heard from some folks claiming to be from rural America and saying nobody in their towns ever listens to NPR. My, my. All I can say is that in Yamhill, Oregon, population 1,000, we're more sophisticated in our listening habits. On @KristofFarms, we put the radio on at night…
Rural America has strongly backed President Trump and the GOP, yet the support is not reciprocated. Trump's Medicaid cuts will close rural hospitals, he cut rural broadband, and the rescissions bill would devastate public broadcasting stations in rural areas. Large parts of rural…

"Chardonnays from Oregon’s Willamette Valley are proving they’re among the best in the world," writes @WineSpectator. It adds: "Atop the list, Kristof— brand new to Wine Spectator—made a splash." Read here: winespectator.com/articles/8-out… And order here: KristofFarms.com
More than 1.4 million Afghans have fled or been deported from Iran since January, shocked & fearful they face a wave of targeted government crackdowns and racist attacks & harassment. w/ @ElianPeltier @jacoob1994 @jimhuylebroek nytimes.com/2025/07/16/wor…
Breaking: Vance in to break tie to vote w/50 of his republican friends to cut all fed funding for public tv & radio. Storm Alert systems. Kids programming. Local news. Small rural stations get 2:1 more funding from fed. More votes tomorrow on this. Let them know what you think.

Actually, "the guy from the New York Times on a farm outside Yamhill, Oregon, population 1000." A dairyman friend milks his herd of cows each morning to NPR's Morning Edition; I'm betting the cows produce especially nutritious and brainy milk as a result.
You know what rural Americans care about? NPR. You know because the guy from the New York Times says so.
Whoah. "For the first time in living memory, Portland in effect has two viable political parties—and the second one isn’t the Republicans." --@sophiegreenleaf of @wweek : wweek.com/news/2025/07/1…
It has been 122 days since Andry was disappeared & forced to El Salvador. 4+ months of being held incommunicado in a torture prison. 4+ months of his family & legal team wondering if he will survive. Thank you @RepRobertGarcia for continuing to speak his name. ❤️ #FreeAndry
Andry Romero has been wrongfully imprisoned in El Salvador for months after being deported with no due process. Free Andry Now.

Gaza gets the attention for obvious reasons -- starving children, highest number of child amputees per capita in the world -- but violence and oppression in the West Bank are also mounting. Human rights groups call it the Gazafication of the West Bank. Bravo, @ChrisVanHollen.
We just saw yet another US citizen killed by violent settlers in the West Bank. There must be an independent, US-led investigation NOW.
As a child dies of hunger about once every 15 seconds somewhere in the world, the Trump administration is spending money to incinerate emergency food rations that the US had previously purchased. This is infuriating.
The Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people abroad who need it Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food—enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week—are set to expire theatlantic.com/health/archive…
One in 10 children screened in @UNRWA medical facilities is malnourished. 🛑Malnutrition among children in #Gaza has increased amid severe shortages of nutrition supplies. Salam, a 7-month-old baby died of malnutrition last week. Before the war, malnutrition was rare in…
Another violent week in the Middle East: in Gaza, this weekend brought the death of another 60 Palestinians who were simply seeking food and water for their families. Israel has the responsibility to allow humanitarian aid in — just as the US had the responsibility to allow aid…
Trump's Russia announcement is being portrayed as toughening his stance, but in fact what he did was give Putin a 50-day free pass to do anything he likes in Ukraine without further US punishment as the Senate sanctions bill is now put on hold.
