I was told today my Washington Post job is being eliminated
It's just a job, but it's one that I was proud to do for 8+ yrs alongside the best in the business
I'm here for opportunities to tell stories about the natural world and how we impact it

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

This was an absolutely chilling murder. I’m glad he’s in a jurisdiction where he’ll face some consequences for blithely killing a woman in obvious distress who called the police seeking help.

Another source of vendor capture in safety net systems is the building of the digital infrastructure. Here, Deloitte dominates. Its a lot of money. Georgia's work requirements reforms spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and admin costs as on healthcare for people.

There's a dollar "vibe shift" happening now that is different from past bouts of dollar pessimism. You might be skeptical. That's understandable since the de-dollarization narrative has been around for years now, and little has changed about the dollar's global position. 1/

Blanche: "Remember, what we all saw in that 10 or second video is not the full story. Every American should know that. The story goes way beyond that. It starts with the fact that literally for months we have received 0 assistance from the state of Minnesota."

The grift rolls on. Federal taxpayers bankrolling private school vouchers in the state with one of the worst and most underfunded public education systems in America. Of course, this is also about race. We are still stuck in the battle over school integration and this is just another step backwards.
The federal government will fund the program through a novel federal tax incentive scheme that offers a dollar-for-dollar tax credit to individuals and corporations that donate up to $1,700 to certified scholarship-granting organizations.
Private Schools in Mississippi Will Get Federal Funding Under Trump Voucher Plan
Mississippi parents could soon use federal tax credits to send children to private and homeschool programs through federal vouchers.

This reminds me that the silence out of Memphis and NOLA is worrying. I suspect there’s a lot of terrible stuff going on there that isn’t getting coverage because there’s no state pushback and no good independent media outlets.
Trump: "Walz called me w/ the request to work together with respect to MN... we are looking for are any and all Criminals that they have in their possession. The Governor, very respectfully, understood that, and I will be speaking to him in the near future. He was happy that Homan was going to MN"

Good analogy from MN counsel in federal court today.
Carter floats a hypothetical of an anti-gun admin deploying 3,000-4,000 masked federal agents engaging in pervasive, illegal conduct.
Under the crime-fighting banner, the gov't says: "If you just legislate, get rid of your carry statute, we'll go away."
"It's the same thing."

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
