Unfortunately in our profession we are used to seeing publications degraded, hollowed out, turned into slop mills or just closed. But to do it this way -- to destroy sources' trust in the few people still doing interviews -- fucks over all of us still trying to do this thing. Ugughghghgh i hate it

IDK how anyone thinks Paxton is good for Texas. 21 people were murdered in Uvalde, including 19 children. Calling that part of God’s “plan” is beyond grotesque. Some comments reveal more about a politician than any campaign ad ever could. This is one of them.

Susan Collins has voted to confirm 60+ anti-abortion judges in her time in the Senate, and now she's voted for 3 more just since last week. Nice to see Senator Collins was able to take a break from lying about corruption to give a lifetime appointment to another anti-choice judge.

this administration illegally shut down federal agencies, impounded money from Congress, set up for-profit concentration camps and sent children there. They dismantled our public health infrastructure and children died of measles. Doing accountability for crimes against our Constitution is the work.

This seems like a pretty big deal: donors made illegal contributions to Susan Collins and then were awarded lucrative contracts after her office intervened with the Navy. An FBI investigation was dropped under Trump. www.propublica.org/article/fbi-...
To skirt campaign finance laws and conceal the source of the funds, Navatek planned to funnel the donation through a shell company. The CEO wanted assurance that Collins would know where
the money came from. Reed confirmed that she would, the executive said - and that Navatek would get its government contracts.
After the Corner Bakery meeting, Navatek's CEO, Martin Kao, sent an initial $150,000 to the Collins super PAC using the shell company. Two months later, he told Navatek executives that Collins committed to getting the company $32 million in naval contracts, according to an internal company email reviewed by ProPublica.

ICE abducted a WBB player while she was traveling with her Kentucky State team in early August at Louisville airport. She has been imprisoned for 1.5 months and denied care for a serious ACL injury. It is the responsibility of universities and the NCAA to protect their players. They have failed.
Aminata Seck, 26, a student-athlete at Kentucky State University, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport while traveling with her school's basketball team Aug. 7, said Sadiqa Reynolds, a lawyer helping coordinate Seck's case.

Seck's team was headed to New York for a tournament, and she was taken into custody after going through airport security, said Reynolds, former president and CEO of the Louisville Urban League.
