We are horrified by this brutal attack. Elena Milashina of @novaya_gazeta is part of our @UMWallaceHouse family. She is a dear friend. When you break a journalist’s fingers, the message is meant to silence all journalists. We will not be silent. Elena, we are here.

@BobMcGovernJr Hopefully they’ll keep the angry hand-written letters coming.

The Capitol Police has been rejecting officer applicants after pre-employment psychological evaluations at a rate three times the national average. Excellent reporting by @ChrisMarquette_

[Chris Marquette @ChrisMarquette_]

The inspector general found that the department stuck with the Global Consortium contract for pre-employment psychological evaluations despite the 2019 findings, and the Capitol Police failed 1,574 of 3,263 applicants during the fiscal years reviewed. https://t.co/HrFtSUl7dO

Thank you @jelani9, @UMWallaceHouse,
and @fordschool interim dean @watkinshayes for the fantastic conversation on media and democracy.

[Wallace House Center for Journalists @UMWallaceHouse]

Tune in now to hear from @jelani9 and @fordschool interim dean @watkinshayes as they discuss threats to democracy and its historical context, the ways in which we discuss democracy, ways to address anxiety and fear and more.

@BobMcGovernJr Congrats, you completed the Tough Fadder

@atossaaraxia I think this means you're a real Michigander now

[Bob McGovern @BobMcGovernJr]

This kind of thing happens at every level of journalism, and it's not right.

Now that I'm on "the other side," I frequently see scoops get repurposed without credit, and I get frustrated for the reporter.

Giving credit where it's due is free.

Starting now, @ChrisMarquette_ interviews Ira Shapiro on his new book, The Betrayal, on the state of the U.S. Senate. Shapiro: “They failed completely, they failed knowingly, and they failed again and again.” @fordschool @UMWallaceHouse #policytalks #democracyanddebate

@BobMcGovernJr Happy for you, Bob!

Massachusetts is celebrating a series of pandemic-era measures made permanent in June, but obstacles remain that disproportionately affect Black and Latino voters https://t.co/iLjoMcECjg #VotingMatters #VotingRights

[lindsay kalter @lkalter]

As it stands, there is no in-person early voting in Michigan. A new ballot initiative would change that.

A cocktail of new voter suppression laws in Montana, disproportionately disenfranchising the state’s Indigenous population and younger voters, were struck down by a judge in September https://t.co/gurdobWppk #VotingRights
