When Corey Lewandowski was at the Department of Homeland Security, he approached senior Qatari officials with a proposal: Hire me on the side. He told Qataris he could help with any issues that fell under the department’s purview, such as visas, and made a similar proposal to the UAE.

Both turned him down.

@jeremymbarr so little compassion for the humble and contrite!

@aseitzwald @Eugene_Scott But I also get sense that the "career pipeline" from local news to larger (often much better paid and more stable) outlets has broken down in a big way over the past 10-20 years, which maybe changes the calculus a bit on j-school (eg another shot at getting in the door somewhere)

just heard a couple talking about ivermectin outside a restaurant and was suddenly hit by all these stress flashbacks before realizing they were talking about her dog which is riddled with parasites

Really enjoyed this @hugorifkind column about the newfound silence of the climate deniers.

When I first started in journalism, you couldn't move for people quacking on about the "hockey stick graph".

@LukewSavage Have you read Nick Salvatore's biography? Curious how it compares.

Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner paid $120 million for a swath of coastal Albania to build a resort.

Problem is the seller is an Albanian gangster (based in Miami, of course), and the land belongs to a bunch of villagers. @WSJ uncovers this wild story: https://t.co/ZP4BrDsKTV

Very strange to be having a fierce debate about who gets hired in the humanities when as far as I can tell no one is being hired in the humanities and the humanities are being shut down permanently

Proud to share this: after months of reporting and conversations with dozens of sources, our Reuters team takes you inside Ukraine's "kill zone" — where drones have turned the front into one of the most dangerous places on earth

@MatthewSitman also seems like a very strange choice to assign this review to a critic who apparently finds any talk of religion to be unbearably annoying.
