An incredible reporter, an unrelenting court transparency advocate, a steadfast document linker, and an all-around great human. Early congrats to the very smart news team that snatches Zoe up.
After 5+ wonderful years at BuzzFeed News, I'll be taking a buyout and leaving soon. I'm proud of my work and what the phenomenal politics team accomplished. I've loved being part of this newsroom and am deeply sad about what's happening (🧵)

A federal judge has tossed pillow magnate Mike Lindell's countersuit against voting-machine company Smartmatic, for many, many reasons. Lindell will also have to pay sanctions for parts of the suit that the judge described as "groundless" and "frivolous."

This is extraordinary: The Pentagon praises @nytimes for its coverage of civilian deaths from US airstrikes, which just won a Pulitzer Prize.
"That’s what a free press at its very best does: it holds us to account and makes us think even as it informs.”

So I tracked down witnesses - the prisoners who watched him die.
This is what they told me: themarshallproject.org/2022/…
