One of the former lead organizers admits the only way Albany’s Free School worked was to skirt tax laws and live on almost nothing. And that model isn’t going to work anymore. From @ByKathleenMoore timesunion.com/education/art… via @TimesUnion

This clip has *really* gotten under the skin of people in @SpeakerJohnson's orbit. One Johnson aide mused that @chiproytx is like an arsonist complaining about the smoke.
Roy: One thing. I want my Republican colleagues to give me one thing. One. That I can go campaign on and say we did. Anybody sitting in the complex, if you want to come down to the floor and come explain to me, one meaningful, significant thing the Republican majority has done

From @SallyBuzbee's editor's note: " ... (T)here is public value in illuminating the profound and repeated devastation left by tragedies that are often covered as isolated news events but rarely considered as part of a broader pattern of violence." washingtonpost.com/nation/in…

Did not realize that the Senate hearing throwdown was over this tweet mocking Mullin for standing on a platform to feel taller during a debate 😂
Greedy CEO who pretends like he’s self made. In reality, just a clown & fraud. Always has been, always will be. Quit the tough guy act in these senate hearings. You know where to find me. Anyplace, Anytime cowboy. #LittleManSyndrome

I’m happy to be doing this event in Albany tomorrow in support of local journalism. (Thanks to @timesunion for this q&a, in which I’m asked about my in-progress detective novel featuring Gale Force, the laid-off reporter turned sleuth 🕵️‍♀️ )
"There are things that happen when local journalism fades that are very troubling. One of the things that happens is that civic engagement declines, and … corruption can flourish because nobody’s watching."--@Sulliview. @timesunion timesunion.com/news/article/…
