sorry to hear this... your reporting on justice is among the best in our profession. Bad move by WP

[Radley Balko @radleybalko]

So after nine years, I'm being let go by the Washington Post. This is disappointing but not surprising. In recent years, the Opinion leadership has made it increasingly difficult to do the reporting & in-depth analysis I was hired to do -- in favor of short, hot takes.

Objective. Impartial. Swore an oath. What a joke.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

The republicans are on trial just as much as Donald is. So far--through their disrespect of the process (Hawley, Paul), ignoring the evidence (Blunt, Scott), and openly meeting with the defense team (Cruz, Graham, Lee)--they're not making a very good case for themselves. #Convict

Sen. Ben Sasse to the Nebraska GOP State Central Committee: "You are welcome to censure me again. But let’s be clear about why this is happening: It’s because I still believe, as you used to, that politics isn't about the weird worship of one dude." https://t.co/WrBxSTZunV
