This is one of the best local criminal justice journalists in the U.S.
If you're a national outlet interested in stories out of St. Louis (and Ferguson!) this is your person.
An elected city official just called to say he was “feeling great” to hear today’s news about the RFT, which I think says a lot about our reporting and the importance of local journalism more broadly. On that note, I’m looking for my next thing: [email protected].

It's always interesting to me see how MO politicians and #moleg uses stock images to reflect their vision of the Missourians.
This stock image? It can be found under the catchy title, "volleyball game sport with group of young beautiful girls indoor in sport arena school gym"
I am proud to have helped protect Missouri kids today by passing the Save Womens Sports Act and the SAFE Act. I will always protect our kids from the radical lefts woke ideology and gender affirming procedures. Our kids are our future, not woke science experiments. #moleg

Hey, a little public service announcement from KCUR. If you're thinking about sending an unsolicited message to one of our employees – hosts, producers, reporters, anyone – in order to:
- criticize their voice
- talk about their appearance
- ask them on a date
instead, don't.

This feels like an article that panicked squirrel parents are all sending to each other.

Finally! Judge Theresa Burke has thrown out the city's charges against @DarrylGregoryG2. Says @javadesq, "The maximum amount of money the taxpayers would get on this case is $500. It's clear that the city has spent many, many times that." riverfronttimes.com/news/st-…

Today's SCOTUS ruling on EPA vs W Va makes it even harder to address the climate crisis at a time when we need to be doing all we can. (short thread) npr.org/2022/06/30/110359589…

Tennessee’s GOP politicians are pressuring the governor to stop the state from offering the COVID-19 vaccine to children under the age of 5. This would be stunning if it wasn’t so incredibly predictable.

"It was carnage. It was chaos. ... Never in my wildest dreams did I think that as a police officer, as a law enforcement officer, I would find myself in the middle of a battle."
U.S. Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards describes "absolute war zone" outside of the Capitol.

Incredible. Fox News isn't showing the video of the actual violence. It's too damning. They're showing panned out shots of Congresspeople watching it.
They really don't think their viewership can handle the truth of what happened on January 6th.

Fwiw, Manchin told me this quote just over a week after Parkland in 2018:
“It feels a little different. I’ve got grandchildren also in the school systems, and I understand the concerns that every parent and grandparent has.” – at Minnesota, USA
