#Racist rhetoric from the occupant of the @WhiteHouse has made hate our new normal. We are still vulnerable.

@knguyen How can I pitch a feature for the Verge?

[Morgan Babbs @morebabbs]

@specialreports How do you submit pitches? I have a story on clandestine internet networks in Cuba. Have not found any prior reporting on the topic.

I’m ready to fight for you, Allison, and the millions of people across the country who are getting crushed by student loan debt. Let’s do this together. #CancelMyDebt

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Everywhere I go, I talk about how we need to make big, structural change to solve the deep, systemic problems we face as a country. Take the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: We had a plan, we got organized, and we turned it into a reality. https://t.co/o4vkreuEDn

I just sent this letter to @realDonaldTrump - who, as you heard, is the most transparent president ever.

The following would have been reasonable headlines:
"While teaching, Elizabeth Warren worked on more than 50 legal matters"
OR
"As a nationally recognized expert on bankruptcy law, Elizabeth Warren worked on more than 50 legal matters, while teaching"

[Morgan Babbs @morebabbs]

.@washingtonpost, What a disappointing headline. Making it out like @ewarren was doing something wrong for being a working lawyer. Headline makes it seem like her hourly rates are "too much," then later in the article you state (correctly) that it is was at or BELOW market rates.

[Morgan Babbs @morebabbs]

Can't imagine any media outlet featuring a man's hourly rate as a "negative" thing in a headline. Because men, of course, are allowed to care about our country AND make money. Women, as usual, get questioned... for EVERYTHING.

[Morgan Babbs @morebabbs]

No one would EVER report on a TOP male lawyer's hourly earnings as if it was a "bad" thing. Seriously, what the heck!?

[Soledad O'Brien @soledadobrien]

In other words, she was also a working lawyer.
