And then a food supply disaster
This year was tough, but looking back I got to do a lot of cool journalism. Here’s a thread of some pieces I’m especially proud of, starting with this one in The Atlantic about honeybee die-offs and the gutting of USDA. 🧪

Congress should not let up on contempt for Bondi.

They must bring her b4 committee, under oath.

Except this time when she starts with her CRAP, they must be prepared to have the Sgt. At Arms, put her in cuffs.

ICE are not legitimate federal agents. They are not law enforcement. They have no authority to commit crimes, violate rights, assault and kidnap Americans. Zero. They're criminals with badges and guns.
