@Mpolymer@mehdirhasan Curious whether there are consequences for this, or if he shouuld have to recuse himself from voting on certain things moving forward?
We've launched a new sister publication, Iran War Dispatches.

We'll have the human interest lens of The Counteroffensive, but aimed at this region. Sign up now — it’s free! https://t.co/z0ek2PNdx1
@MCCCANM So sorry for your and your families’ loss. She surely felt your love and support every step of the way on the whole journey. May her memories bring comfort always.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
NPR has created a front-line account of the Jan 6 riot and a public database drawing on thousands of hours of footage and years of reporting:
"The evidence vividly shows the planning for 'revolution' and the brutality of violence."

This isn’t about politics as usual. This is about denying people clean water something no community should have to fight for in the United States. This project has been promised for decades. Parents, kids, farmers, and entire towns have been waiting for water that meets basic health standards.
People did not vote to have clean water turned into a bargaining chip.
They did not vote for partisan games at the expense of public health.
And they certainly did not vote for Washington to ignore a unanimous bipartisan decision.
When Congress speaks with one voice and is still overruled, that’s people being told their needs don’t matter. We must end these games in Washington and put the people first.
The prediction, early warning, and resiliency aspects and the research that drive it all seems like something we should be expanding , not dismantling, given the events in recent years.
Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, & disaster research underpinning half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, & increased resilience.
