Congratulations to @nyu_journalism’s @FirstAmendWatch for launching the SLAPP Back Initiative, a tracker that documents alleged SLAPPS.

SLAPPS are meritless or malicious legal actions that can silence critical voices, including journalists.

New from Dan and I: The system for safeguarding athletes in U.S. Olympic sports might be on the cusp of a major revamp, with an independent commission set to propose sweeping changes and lawmakers saying they are standing by to act.

According to the Mueller report, chess was an unlikely nexus of characters central to the Trump-Russia drama & may have represented another avenue of Russian outreach to the Trump campaign: https://t.co/BIE10ofSVI
