@leah_rosenbaum @mefrankel @TheWarHorseNews Thank you for writing this. Though their numbers are dwindling, so many Vietnam vets have spent years battling illnesses they have/had no idea were related to their service. My dad, who became ill at age 40—and spent the rest of his life in and out of hospitals—was one of them.💔

@elonmusk How do these jibe: We will DRILL, BABY, DRILL and we will become Energy Independent, and even Dominant again. The United States has more liquid gold under our feet than any other Nation, and it’s not even close. The Republican Party will harness that potential to power our future

Last week, after @marshall_anne broke this important story, I asked how in 2024-a decade after the end of #DontAskDontTell-the military hadn't fixed this yet. Today, President Biden took a major step to do just that. #LGBTQ #veterans https://t.co/7utS9pmm49

[Mike Frankel @mefrankel]

In 2024, a decade after the end of #DontAskDontTell you’d think the military had fixed this by now. But this powerful story by @marshall_anne shows how LGBTQ veterans forced to plead guilty to charges of sodomy and indecent acts are still paying the price. https://t.co/OmPTBK6Erv

How many stories are there like Mona McGuire’s? Likely tens of thousands, experts say. But the military has so far denied or delayed our FOIA requests to reveal the true scope and impact of its discriminatory past.

Fun for your Friday: Search Google for “Google to stop showing links to California news reports” and tell us if you see this @ethanbaron story in the results. https://t.co/DkkJTvw1sh

It’s the perfect morning for a @juliasulek classic. This page-turner has it all. https://t.co/ta8INzyxrQ Who’s behind a highway robbery over a stolen child-at-play sign that led to the death of Diamond Sysco? A year later her mom and a detective may be close to cracking the case.

The latest from @juliasulek & @DavidANickerson in the tragic and growing crisis of babies dying from their parents' fentanyl use. 18-month-old Winter Rayo becomes the third Bay Area baby to die of the powerful opioid in 6 months. https://t.co/VWfuVNAmSp

@elissamio @SPJ_NorCal @csburt Bay Area readers — and your editors, of course — are lucky to have such a smart, ambitious, energetic and committed journalist on the education beat. Not a bad first year!

Dusting off my X to showcase another powerful investigative report by @DavidANickerson & @juliasulek on Santa Clara County’s tragic missteps in the fentanyl death of 3-month-old baby Phoenix Castro. This inside look at the decisions made is infuriating. https://t.co/VfYlpL4W1t
