After a judge invalidated his conviction, @de_doj prosecutors argued that Purnell was too dangerous to be released on bail. At the same time, they tried to convince him to plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for immediate freedom. 🤔

After Spotlight Delaware's @nickstonsifer reached out, DETV posted links on social media for “opioid help and support resources.” One was a website for a defunct addiction services provider. Today the site advertises penis enlargement and weight-loss pills https://t.co/KxEUEikcLy

@HighlandsBunker I hear ya. And, you're not wrong - they're essentially vehicles to get around campaign finance law.

@MikeBloomberg Hi, I'm a reporter in Delaware, writing about your contribution to a PAC supporting Matt Meyer, a candidate for governor here. Could you explain why you support Meyer? 302-867-1528

The News Journal explains the latest on Delaware's rebuilding of dunes near the Indian River inlet. You can see the work from state traffic cameras, which show how a lot of the new sand is washed away just as its set in place https://t.co/RhusPkti5j

The Maltese government said Tuesday it will investigate a U.S. healthcare firm that may have paid British intelligence firms over $7 million to target its critics — including Malta’s former health minister.

The announcement follows OCCRP’s investigation: https://t.co/B3jUCeDtZJ

"In August 2023, the Defense Department unveiled Replicator, its initiative to field thousands of ... low-cost (and potentially AI-driven) machines — in the form of self-piloting ships, large robot aircraft, and swarms of smaller kamikaze drones" https://t.co/GiouMKWT6i

@Ginny4PA @ENERGY @Wits_Solutions Hey @Ginny4PA - any progress made on your FOIA for MACH2's app? They had told me that they'd get me a response by late April. Since then, radio silence ...

[Karl Baker @kbaker6]

Update on this FOIA, which is for the MACH2 hydrogen hub application to @ENERGY ... For months, the contractor processing the FOIA, @Wits_Solutions, has refused to provide an estimated date of completion I have now FOIAed that company's contract with DOE.

[Karl Baker @kbaker6]

Why is the U.S. Department of @ENERGY using a private contractor to process my FOIA? FOIA is all transparency. Are the emails to me from the contractor even FOIAable?

[Karl Baker @kbaker6]

@Ginny4PA @ENERGY @Wits_Solutions FYI, after sending off a slightly-indignant email, they finally sent me an estimated date of completion ... only took 6 months of asking for it

The location in western #Rafah is an official displacement camp next to UN aid warehouses. These desperate families were told they would be safe here. #Israel’s top brass now claim it was a Hamas base and a legitimate target. Dozens of civilians are dead, burning, wounded.
