I also think that having a layer institutional oversight (with, obviously, the right people in that oversight role, who are there to provide another layer of fact-checking and not censorship) can help build a lot of trust in an outlet that is more difficult to achieve as a solo journalist
i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.
A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

I think it’s weird we’ve never seen Jason Mantzoukas and Animal from the Muppets together. And I don’t mean in TV shows or movies, necessarily. I just mean, like, hanging out, having lunch, in paparazzi photos and such.

Same story in CA- Caltrain was record expensive because it was the first electrification project anywhere in the US in decades. We need a rolling electrification program, with multi-year funding agreements for the State Rail Plan, to bring down costs, #ElectrifyMetrolink #ElectrifyCapitolCorridor
