Such a pleasure to work with the SF Chronicle to unpack why so many indoor gun ranges in CA have had lead poisoned workers, exposed kids to potentially life altering levels of a neurotoxin and left an environmental mess in wake.

Please take some time to check out this important investigation by @Joerubincreates:

LAX ON LEAD:

@JohnRKings —standup dad and relatively unsung architect of the beam. Proud to know you since the days of Arco. #lightthebeam magic happening with the Kings these days

@tara_siler @KQEDnews @sfchronicle Pleasure speaking with Tara Silar and @KQEDNewsroom about how a troop of Boy Scouts came to be tasked with sifting through tons of lead at a gun range, and what it tells us about the lax regulation of gun ranges in California

[joe rubin @Joerubincreates]

In my latest investigation for the ⁦@sfchronicle⁩ and ⁦@ReportingHealth⁩ we look at lax regulations of gun ranges and how a troop of Boy Scouts were tasked with removing tons of lead from one troubled range https://t.co/phinYlqfVh

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

The water crises in Flint and Jackson are reminders of the dangers of lead. Toxic lead at California gun ranges endangers workers, customers and neighbors. Why isn’t it regulated? Reporter @joerubincreates talks to @ceelei about his investigation.

@newrepublic and @typeinvestigate we utilized 100s of documents for our recent Don Jr. story .https://t.co/xJX1TpfbG6. This one esp interesting. Trump Jr. exp that blue-collar worker agency paid just
7.5 k for 65k owed. Failure to pay small businesses part of a pattern we found

[joe rubin @Joerubincreates]

Thank you @crfeldman, Nandini Rathi (world's greatest fact checker), and @JoeConason who kept a level head through all the iterations, and of course the Barrett family.

[joe rubin @Joerubincreates]

Reflecting on https://t.co/xJX1TpfbG6,: they say it takes a village, it takes more than that to pull off investigative journalism. So grateful to @typeinvestigate and the Wayne Barrett project inspired by one of the gutsiest and most incisive journalists.

[joe rubin @Joerubincreates]

In my latest for @newrepublic we obtained tax returns for Don Jr. company that promised to house the world's poor. The returns + our reporting raise questions of tax fraud. Fascinating dets from exclusive interview w/ @MichaelCohen212 about Don Jr. https://t.co/xJX1TpfbG6

And @trowynt you are seeing Putin sycophants in U.S ducking for cover and changing their tune. That’s precisely because of public opinion about Ukraine. Driving on California freeway just not saw numerous displays of support for Ukraine like this

[joe rubin @Joerubincreates]

@trowynt it’s a total misread to say that there is very “little chatter about Ukraine in American cafe’s. I was just in a cafe and it’s all anyone was talking about.

[Peter Zalmayev @zalmayev]

Putin has gotten his face bloodied in Ukraine. Blitzkrieg failed. He's now hitting at civilian targets, gas pipes, toxic waste dumps and oil facilities. Scorched earth. But the world is waking up and supporting Ukraine overwhelmingly. Putin shall not pass. #StandWithUkriane

[joe rubin @Joerubincreates]

@zalmayev remarkably moving interview on the BBC. Stay safe in #kyiv y . .

“Now you go in for the kill shot, the kill shot with an ambush, deadly, because he doesn’t see it coming,” Watters said.

This story about elected leaders openly spreading false info about Covid vaccines troubling and well reported. The fact that 6 in ten adult in El Dorado county fully vaccinated shows the majority of their voters disagree. But so darn irresponsible . https://t.co/TdGpcsEEyk

[joe rubin @Joerubincreates]

Nice piece about horrific conditions at sac jail by @MarcosBreton —been so many reports over the years. Raises questions about our da’s qual for higher office. https://t.co/RGHR3M2LMP

[joe rubin @Joerubincreates]

@aboutKP Had my fifth grader vaccinated for Covid19 today. Grateful for protection. But chaotic exp. Adults needing boosters, flu shots...all being funneled to same small room. Pretty anxiety-producing for a kid. Why not have a more thoughtful exp designed around kids?

[joe rubin @Joerubincreates]

Chaperone trip to #SoccerMommy show at @Fillmore in SF. I guess that makes me a soccer daddy
