Please read our incredible media writer @dbauder's final piece in his illustrious career at the @AP:

A truck loaded with thousands of copies of Roget's Thesaurus spilled its load leaving New York.
Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, surprised, dumbfounded, flabbergasted, confounded, astonished, and numbed.

Seeing a lot of hand-wringing over nobody (NOBODY!) in Sunday newspaper world getting Saturday's WHCD shooter on the front page. Nobody? Au contraire, mon cher. Behold the benefits of local ownership, local presses.

New @postandcourier investigation just dropped:

"Since 2015, at least 102 mentally ill people have died in South Carolina jails from dehydration, suicide and other causes, according to a newspaper analysis of state, county and court records."

Decades ago, South Carolina shifted patients from psychiatric hospitals to community treatment. The move has done little to improve their fate as lawmakers shortchanged them on resources. And jails became the new asylums. https://t.co/zC7zcXco8a

Travra Zanders went from honors student to inmate as he struggled with mental health issues in his teenage years. Now 45, he’s trying to rebuild his life as a free man after years of coping with schizophrenia behind bars. https://t.co/LEoEW15z1p

Our latest investigation, "Caught in the Cycle," explores how South Carolina’s handling of mentally ill defendants delays justice for crime victims, bleeds money from taxpayers and plunges desperate and vulnerable people even deeper into crisis.

Gayle McCaffery has been missing since she disappeared from her Charleston home in 2012. Her husband, a central suspect in the case, has now been arrested in the cold-case 1990 killing of Lisa Marie McBride in NJ. w/@kaileycota

@RepNancyMace led the effort to subpoena Pam Bondi. And she says Trump’s Bondi firing will not stop her effort to get testimony under oath.

[Marilyn Thompson @marilynt2004]

NEW: We got a look at FBI unredacted notes on Epstein’s alleged Hilton Head teenage victim. No sign the FBI followed up on leads.
FBI records detail potential witnesses of SC Epstein victim. They aren't public. https://t.co/JRa0P6ilHc

[Mitchell Black @MitchABlack]

New on the SC Epstein/Trump accuser.

Unredacted FBI notes that have not been uploaded to the DOJ portal detail potential corroborating witnesses.

One woman says the FBI never asked for an interview.

With the one and only @marilynt2004
