this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

Olivia is right. These allegations also reflect poorly on the partner who helped cover it all up prior to a jilting and subsequent monetized revenge tour. They also reflect terribly on the media outlets who enabled these people.

If I'm understanding this correctly, the man who shot two national guards in DC was a former Afghan child soldier who fought alongside US special forces and in a CIA-supervised unit and later was granted asylum. The word "blowback" comes to mind.

But last year, a Senate committee chaired by Sanders released a prelim report based on data Amazon supplied to the Senate—not just what they were required to report to OSHA. The required data showed their Prime Day rate (10 per 100 workers) was 2x industry average. The full data? 45 per 100 workers.

Has anybody determined the motive of the National Guardsmen shooter?
I'm guessing the shooter didn't want to be deported back to Afghanistan and figured being in a United States prison would be much better
In that case Trump is responsible for the shooting
