News overwhelm is real.
So we at States Newsroom are launching a podcast to help you make sense of the dizzying flurry of headlines coming from Washington and across the U.S.

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵
An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

Please watch THIS particular interview, shared by @prisonculture.bsky.social to get the play by play on what happened. Getting arrested for protesting is a king move, but that's not what happened here. This was a goddamned grab and sack.

I can’t think of a precedent for this!
We live in interesting times and I’m flying to El Salvador tonight to report on the senator’s mission and the effort to return Garcia to the United States.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.
I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan:

Hmm. There's a ton of wonderful big reporting rn by nonprofit & indy media — all the States Newsrooms, ProPublica, Texas Trib, Fort Worth Report, Montana Free Press, The Appeal... Bolts!
It'd be great to read & share the newsrooms that do this, rather than the quite vague hand-wringing.

New: Trump won the popular vote narrowly. But in news deserts—counties where there are no local news sources or reporters —he won in a landslide. Latest by me and @volk_maps for Medill School’s Local News Initiative. localnewsinitiative.northwestern.edu/posts/2024/1...
