Hi there. I reported out this segment on how the last Trump admin violated drug laws by purchasing execution drugs from a company not licensed to make them. If you know something about the next Trump admin's execution plans, I'm on Signal: csmcdaniel.89 https://t.co/NSvKMc0zX1

NEW: When a prosecutor says that someone is on death row based on a lie, a just system would fix that. In our system, the outcome for Richard Glossip is still uncertain.

46 groups are calling for the immediate release of Cambodian journalist Mech Dara. He was charged on Tuesday with incitement, a vague charge often used by authorities as a tool for intimidation and repression. Dara's arrest looks like more of the same:

BREAKING: The SCOTUS conservatives will not stop tonight's scheduled execution of Marcellus Williams by Missouri. All three liberal appointees would have granted a stay.

In the days leading up to his execution, Keith Gavin, a Muslim, made requests about what he wanted to eat, the garments he would wear, & his final words before he died.

For @boltsmag, I spent Gavin's final day with him & watched Alabama deny them.

This is my statement:

And before *that,* Texas wanted to illegally buy execution drugs from a small company in India. The deal fell through when the company was raided for selling opioids and viagra illegally to Americans. https://t.co/GgwedEpMrK

Really great investigation by @ChiaraEisner into the pharmacy that's recently been making Texas' execution drugs. https://t.co/woILqSdM31

[Chris McDaniel @csmcdaniel]

Back in 2018, I reported for BuzzFeed News on Texas's then-supplier: A pharmacy whose license was on probation after regulators found it compounded the wrong drug for 3 kids, sending one to the emergency room, and forged quality control documents. https://t.co/tVd4SXuP6P

After she watched the John Oliver episode, she did something she had never done before: google the health effects of PFOS. She was disturbed by what she read.
My piece about a former 3Mer discovering - or rediscovering - PFOS in everyone's blood https://t.co/vsBSK04gY3

CT AG reviewing Hamden company HBO’s John Oliver claims secretly made lethal injection drugs https://t.co/bC1MHVhJ7S by @joshua_eaton @Lbackusoncrime @jacquelinerabe

[Chris McDaniel @csmcdaniel]

Reuters and Jonathan Allen did a great job reporting on the secrecy of the federal government in this piece: https://t.co/RMM5tjdtdh And Jonathan's piece was the only reporting (that I saw at least?) about the House Oversight Committee sending a letter to Absolute Standards.

[Chris McDaniel @csmcdaniel]

I'm going to tweet out some of the really great reporting while the federal executions were ongoing, that really helped inform this piece.

[Chris McDaniel @csmcdaniel]

The AP's @mtarm witnessed every execution. He wrote about how what he witnessed was at odds from what the DOJ was claiming in court. https://t.co/XK6iyrl4cu
