@davidfolkenflik @stphnfwlr Terrific reporting on and summary of a very intricate lawsuit. Fascinating detail of how Fox News and the star reporter covered up the actual location of the missile attack.

[David Folkenflik @davidfolkenflik]

She died covering war for Fox News.

Her parents blame a Fox News star.

So do two former Fox high risk security consultants.

Georgia’s attorney general must aggressively pursue open-government violations, says GFAF board member @shawnmcintosh. Check out the @ajc op-ed: https://t.co/kGRxFZuRmS

@ChrisBuryNews Exactly right. Had same reaction. Dismal.

@CBSNews Where’s the context, @CBSNews ?? No mention of the Iran War, the actions of the Iranian backed Houthis along the Red Sea?

[Richard T. Griffiths @griffiths]

Not a single document in the Epstein files is tagged as referencing Donald Trump?? Nothing?? Hmmmm.

@pressfreedom It appears that the government is moving to deport before a Friday habeus corpus hearing before a federal judge in Brunswick, GA.

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

UPDATE🚨 An immigration board issued a final removal order last night for journalist Mario Guevara. He could be deported any moment. We renew our demand for his immediate release. #FreeMario https://t.co/hBgoVLpPzf

@ChrisBuryNews Terrific reporter. Joy to work with at CBS. Crisp, smart writing that always told you more than the mere words.

[American Oversight @weareoversight]

We filed FOIA requests with DHS for records—including texts—regarding the June deployment of the National Guard to LA.

DHS told us it can no longer search for text messages.

And it hasn’t maintained that data since April.

This is unlawful and alarming.

If I understand this correctly, the US president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU and China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada and Greenland, but is powerless before the sovereign might of El Salvador. Is that it?

[Richard T. Griffiths @griffiths]

While we may vigorously disagree with the positions of those who protest, we cannot allow government to crush dissent through intimidation efforts like this.

Master class from NPR Morning Edition anchor Michel Martin in how to conduct an accountability interview.

Michel Martin repeatedly corrected falsehoods as she asked DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar to cite specific actions that constitute support for terrorism as grounds to arrest and deport a US permanent resident pro-Palestinian protestor.
