Buenos días from the last day of the first week of Trump’s hush money trial, where a friendly fellow in line among the public told me how happy he was to be here, adding, “I never made it to Woodstock.” Not sure whether he’s expecting the ‘69 festival or, more realistically, ‘99.

America needs more courageous leaders like the Tennessee Three—@BrotherJones_, Justin J. Pearson, and Rep. Gloria Johnson—who put public safety over the gun lobby, every time.

Emma Brown & I were glad to see them in Nashville and support their efforts to save lives from gun violence.

Yeah right. No one will cover this trial better than Molly Crane-Newman . Follow her or remain clueless.

A case study in ethical, responsible journalism that fairly and accurately reports two sides of a complex story- esp when it’s about your own newsroom. By ⁦David Folkenflik⁩ npr.org/2024/04/09/124…

archival detail of the day: Pat Robertson said a 1992 equal rights amendment in Iowa would advance 'a feminist agenda … that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.'

Ten years ago when I would talk about this stuff people looked at me like I was absolutely crazy. Some ugly truths are finally coming out.

What? Ejecting a respected journalist and journalism professor? Press freedom matters.

That went from “I’m sure it’s just a nearby subway” to “the rapture has begun” in about 7 seconds

This GWOT fan fiction is utterly insane and Foreign Policy should be embarrassed they published it. Fever dreams of the good old days of unceasing war and Talib boogeymen. Risible.

If you ever get called up for jury duty and asked if you believe that police officers will perjure themselves on the stand, the correct answer is yes.

After yesterday’s barn burner of a story from Yuval Abraham יובל אברהם this dude just shot his credibility in the foot.

I must say I’ve never seen a walkout of 500 Pearl like this one

Absolutely.

Feels great to see this story I broke last week getting nat'l attention; would feel even better if these large outlets threw a hyperlink my way. Thanks to Hell Gate *subscribe today!* for taking my pitch and recognizing an interesting story way before dozens of other outlets did.

Widespread unit policies to kill all “fighting-age males”—in contravention of increasingly irrelevant official ROE that the IDF and White House defend—are “a recipe for disaster not only in Gaza, but for the destruction of a professional military,” Barak Ravid says of the IDF.

I find it interesting that Israel can conduct precision HVT strikes on targets in Syria, but in Gaza they will just drop on anything with a pulse with apparently no targeting criteria.
