A century ago, Black physicians built hospitals, clinics and medical schools across the South — only to see them dismantled by policy, segregation and an influential report.
Investigative journalist Nicole Carr traced that history through her own family and found the consequences are still being felt today.
Geoff Bennett (@GeoffRBennett) spoke with Carr about her book, "The Price of Exclusion."
The Justice Department quietly deleted thousands of press releases about the Jan. 6 insurrection
So Lawfare restored them: more than 5,700 pages recovered and publicly archived.
@TylerMcBrien, Michael Feinberg, and Benjamin Wittes explain how. https://t.co/qtcxOnOmfa

This is so insanely corrupt, I can’t even believe it.
More than half the donors to Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom just won over $50 billion in new federal contracts in six months.
And here’s the part that should make your blood boil.
Sixteen of these 27 donors were facing federal enforcement actions, antitrust reviews, labor cases, securities charges. Many of those cases have been quietly dropped or scaled back since Trump took office. You write a check, your legal problems disappear. That’s not a coincidence.
The White House won’t even release the full donor list. They’re hiding it on purpose, because daylight is the one thing pay-to-play can’t survive. A federal judge already ruled ballroom construction has to stop until Congress authorizes it.
Government is supposed to serve the people, not auction itself off to the highest bidder. When access goes to whoever pays the most, working families always end up paying the price.
We either end the corruption, or the corruption will end us.

Sad to hear Anthony Head has passed away.
The Gold Blend “will they, won’t they” ad campaign was a cultural phenomenon, an ongoing saga that lasted for 6 years, captivating audiences of 30 million. The inevitable kiss even made front page news. A landmark TV moment.
RIP Anthony
