Since the beginning of this year, The Atlantic has hired twelve journalists away from The Washington Post. The New York Times has poached at least ten Posties. CNN has picked up half a dozen. The exodus is deeply distressing to Post staffers.🧵

In a blow to press freedom, the U.S. Justice Department announced on Friday its decision to rescind guidelines that protected against the seizure of journalists' phone records and other reporting material. Source protection is vital to reporting on public interest issues.

Apparently Canada’s public service is over-educated so the Conservatives, per their costed platform, promise to : “eliminate university degree requirements for most federal public service roles to hire for skill, not credentials.”

"Trump and Vance have revealed to Americans and to America’s allies their alignment with Russia, and their animosity toward Ukraine in general and its president in particular," writes @DavidFrum. "The truth is ugly, but it’s necessary to face it." theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

I love my country with all my heart and I've never been more embarrassed for America than the spectacle I just witnessed in the Oval Office.
Zelensky is fighting for the survival of his country, his people and their democracy.
Trump and Vance appear to be completely aligned with Putin, the invader whose aim has been to conquer Ukraine.
Zelensky should know that millions and millions of Americans still stand with him and his valiant people.

Trump and Vance’s meeting with Zelensky in the Oval Office today “gave the lie to any claim that this administration’s policy is driven by any strategic effort to advance the interests of the United States, however misguided,” @DavidFrum writes: theatln.tc/tL43NkWm

The Oval Office meeting today between Trump and Zelensky “reeked of a planned attack,” @radiofreetom writes.
“The Ukrainian leader did his best to stand up to the bullying, but Trump and Vance were playing to the cameras and the MAGA gallery at home.” theatln.tc/UAJzd1RQ

The survivor whose story sparked Orange Shirt Day — and the “Every Child Matters” movement — says she's worried the cause is being forgotten.
“It needs to be respected — I need to be respected — and I don’t feel I have that.”

Just a reminder that Kamala isn’t half-Black and half-Indian. She’s Black and Indian. The rhetoric of halfness is designed to disenfranchise. You are all of everyone who made you

1/6 I am sad that @hakaimagazine will cease publication at the end of 2024, but remember—we have some stellar stories coming for the next five months. Also, it’s vital to keep things in perspective.
