Has there been drama in your mom’s group over alternative medicine/MAHA stuff?

I’d love to talk to you for a story if so! And don’t have to use your name. DM me/hit me on signal (info in bio) if you’d like to chat. Thanks

BREAKING: The Democratic candidate for OC assessor lost her party’s endorsement due to complaints that she repeatedly tried to use campaign money to pay for personal expenses, LAist has learned.

Such expenditures would violate the law. Story from @ByYusra

BREAKING: The Washington Post wins Pulitzer for public service for its reporting on DOGE and its impact, including reporter Hannah Natanson who was at the center of the team effort.

[John Hudson @John_Hudson]

Bravo to @hannah_natanson, whose Pulitzer Prize reporting overcame an outrageous and chilling FBI raid on her home, a threat to journalism in this country

Nice feature on “Morning, Trojan” today in the @dailytrojan. After building USC’s dominant news source from the ground up over the last four years, we’re shutting it down on Friday. It’s been an epic run, but I’m ready to graduate. https://t.co/mqviZd62Al

Trump’s top federal prosecutor in LA — one of the most powerful in the region — keeps this mug in his office.

Bill Essayli declined an interview and didn’t answer written questions but his office did share this pic.

“Irrespective of political stripes, every American should be worried about the state of play right now for journalists worldwide if democracy matters to them. Ahmed is an American citizen, but importantly, he is a journalist who should not be detained for the act of being a journalist.” https://t.co/6pzO3Y0Qqm

I can't even remember the last time I did something other than re'tweet', save, or favorite on this app, a shell of my former mainstay social media platform. But that's all the more reason why I need you to read this - the thing that's nudged me out of X retirement - and share it
