May I ask your indulgence...?
I am honestly speechless to be named reporter of the year by Texas Managing Editors. In a difficult year for media nationwide, it’s a privilege to be able to continue to do this work, one I don’t take lightly. texastribune.org/2024/04/20/…

I couldn’t pass up tonight’s opportunity to combine music and diplomacy. Was a pleasure to launch @StateDept’s new Global Music Diplomacy Initiative.

The U.S. will block shipments of raw sugar from the Dominican Republic’s Central Romana Corp. over forced labor allegations. The action comes after a Reveal/@MotherJones investigation found grim conditions for sugar cane cutters and their families. revealnews.org/article/us-ba…

The NYT says a top Oathkeeper named Greg McWhirter was an FBI informant and is playing a key role in the Jan 6 sedition trial. A few years ago when he was a Montana sheriff we found he was a member of 15 militia Facebook groups and already pushing the Big Lie.

Throwback to when Tesla had to reduce yellow paint and forklifts beeping in its factory because Elon Musk didn’t like them. All while its workers were being seriously hurt. revealnews.org/article/tesla…
Replying to @willexamine
2/ We found that Tesla reduced standard safety signals like yellow paint & forklift beeps because of Musk's preferences. Multiple former members of Tesla's environment, health and safety team said this was common knowledge. Some factory supervisors said the same thing.
