Investigations @CBSNews, ex-@washingtonpost @wsj. Pulitzer winner. Signal: bydanielgilbert.08

Maybe don’t look at your index fund holdings tomorrow…

🤯 This passage from a @ZushaElinson story on parents suing schools over report cards:

[Daniel Gilbert @ByDanielGilbert]

First time I can recall seeing @wsj publish the same article in print twice. On consecutive pages. Even the pull-quote is the same.

[Daniel Gilbert @ByDanielGilbert]

@joshgerstein I would not doubt the WSJ’s rigor, nerve and backbone when it comes to reporting on the administration

[Gabe Kaminsky @gekaminsky]

Former Trump lawyer Alina Habba - asked by @CBSNews if she will donate her fees from a contract tied to the family of a businessman Mr. Trump pardoned - responded to the text with a “haha” reaction then removed it

Comes after @tylerpager reporting in NYT on Trump telling aides/allies she should donate

[Daniel Gilbert @ByDanielGilbert]

This really shouldn’t need to be said, but for those who don’t know @jacobbogage, he’s a tremendous reporter and a great colleague.

Wow ⬇️

SCOOP: Democrats have insisted they have nothing to do with the other Dan Sullivan on Alaska's Senate ballot.

But aides with the Mary Peltola campaign and DSCC were part of a monthslong secret plan to recruit him to run -- as well as other candidates.

NEW on the pardon economy: We found
Trump's clemency orders erased at least $119M in restitution owed to victims, w/ 18 recipients left off the hook who had White House ties. We spoke to several victims, from small business owners to retirees

But if you want to emphasize the smallness of a number, it becomes “fewer than six workers”. Not fewer than a half-dozen.

[Daniel Gilbert @ByDanielGilbert]

A dozen means 12. But in journalism some use it to signal “a lot”. Take last Sunday’s cover story of @NYTmag.

To describe the breadth of its reporting: “dozens of journalists from as many countries.” A team of 6 = “a half-dozen”

[Daniel Gilbert @ByDanielGilbert]

A Chinese seafood company exports to “more than a dozen countries”

[Hunterbrook @hntrbrkmedia]

Breaking: Several sections of @NYTimes front page story today mirror two earlier Hunterbrook investigations — without attribution. 

Images. Methods. Sources.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

[Byron Tau @ByronTau]

I actually have important contributions to this discourse. As @jeneps mentioned, my first job in Washington was actually as a Cheesecake Factory server and bartender. One day in 2009 or 2010 I wandered in for my shift a bit early...

[Daniel Gilbert @ByDanielGilbert]

Respectfully, FDA records don’t “surface” on their own. @cbsnews obtained these reported deaths through a FOIA request.

[Bryan Johnson @bryan_johnson]

Your peptides may be coming fentanyl suppliers.

Anhui Renchen Technology was indicted in 2023 for supplying the Sinaloa Cartel with fentanyl precursors.

Their website currently sells semaglutide and melanotan II.

Of roughly 200 Chinese firms TRM Labs tracked selling fentanyl precursors, at least 50 now sell peptides.

The shipments enter the US in “master cartons” mislabelled as snack food, broken up by a domestic handler and mailed on. CBP has intercepted around 400 of those operations and seized over 130,000 vials in the past year.

FDA records surfaced showing two deaths, one in July and one in September, reported after people injected untested black market retatrutide.

New: We found cops who kept using Flock to spy on women after they left the force.

One used it for five years after retirement, spying on his wife during a custody battle.

Another ran searches while he was suspended (and later fired) after killing a 15-year-old boy.

NEW:

O.J. Simpson. A secret informant. The missing murder weapon. An accomplice tale. And law enforcement records that were kept secret for 30 years — until now.
