Nothing like a brief detention while standing up for freedom of information to celebrate Independence Day weekend.

[David Hammer @davidhammerWWL]

Code of Criminal Procedure Section 383 says grand jury “indictments shall be returned into the district court in open court.” That did not happen in Judge Leon Roché’s court today and Danny was objecting on behalf of the public. @WWLTV’s lawyer, Elana Beiser, was also detained.

@nick3lopez Guess I will have to pick a new favorite player. This is the fate of a KC baseball fan. Thank you for all the defensive highlights and clutch at bats. You deserve a ring in ATL!

Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich wrote news that the world needs but Russia does not want. He is jailed because Russia wants to silence him and intimidate his colleagues. #IStandWithEvan #FreeThePress https://t.co/ZmBrMSv0iY

It has been nearly three weeks since our @WSJ colleague and friend Evan Gershkovich was arrested by Russia for doing his job. Today, a Russian court upheld his detention in Moscow's Lefortovo prison. #IStandWithEvan https://t.co/DG6lkipzyE via @WSJ

He Told Their Stories of Repression. Now They Are Telling His. We All Stand With Evan #IStandWithEvan https://t.co/zvF2N6Xdte

Written by one who knows what he's talking about. #IStandWithEvan The American journalist arrested by Russia is not an ‘alleged spy’ https://t.co/dfPrvqm4IU

@BGrueskin How not to get gamed: stop focusing on politics and start covering policy.

Being a Taiwanese means always being on the receiving end of the foreign policies and threats of invasion that we have no control over. I am tired. 當台灣人🇹🇼很心累餒！

Missing the days when I could stroll over to @Yaqiu’s desk to get her always insightful (and usually also very funny) take on developments.

[Yaqiu Wang 王亚秋 @Yaqiu]

The CCP's response to Pelosi's potential visit will largely be decided by 1) internal politics among elites; 2) how Xi feels at the moment. We know little about the former and no one can predict the latter. Takeaway: stop abusive govts before they become too powerful to contain.

Turned on @Royals game for about 5 minutes - time to see @nick3lopez save a run with diving catch, hit leadoff single, steal second, and score. Most underrated man in baseball?!

Still, good news that the @JoeBiden administration is willing to ease restrictions so that #China can’t use US restrictions as excuse #PressFreedom
