Hello! I do not really post here anymore. But I spent a few years working on this one. I hope you'll watch it. youtube.com/watch?v=SOn3wb…

Feels like time to try out the other place. My username is the same (csmcdaniel) at Blue Sky 👋

Hi there. I reported out this segment on how the last Trump admin violated drug laws by purchasing execution drugs from a company not licensed to make them. If you know something about the next Trump admin's execution plans, I'm on Signal: csmcdaniel.89 youtube.com/watch?v=SOn3wb…

NEW: When a prosecutor says that someone is on death row based on a lie, a just system would fix that. In our system, the outcome for Richard Glossip is still uncertain. Law Dork, from SCOTUS: lawdork.com/p/the-glossip-…

46 groups are calling for the immediate release of Cambodian journalist Mech Dara. He was charged on Tuesday with incitement, a vague charge often used by authorities as a tool for intimidation and repression. Dara's arrest looks like more of the same: licadho-cambodia.org/pressrelease.p…

BREAKING: The SCOTUS conservatives will not stop tonight's scheduled execution of Marcellus Williams by Missouri. All three liberal appointees would have granted a stay. Background: lawdork.com/p/scotus-cleme…

@katienotopoulos Thanks Katie! Likewise, I love seeing you go viral on Threads. I don’t open the app often, but every time I do you are tomf

I love seeing old BuzzFeed News colleagues show up in great places, like @csmcdaniel (with his eyes closed), on my tv, winning an Emmy

In the days leading up to his execution, Keith Gavin, a Muslim, made requests about what he wanted to eat, the garments he would wear, & his final words before he died. For @boltsmag, I spent Gavin's final day with him & watched Alabama deny them. boltsmag.org/alabama-execut…

Today I was fired from the Wall Street Journal. This is my statement:

And before *that,* Texas wanted to illegally buy execution drugs from a small company in India. The deal fell through when the company was raided for selling opioids and viagra illegally to Americans. buzzfeednews.com/article/chrism…

Back in 2018, I reported for BuzzFeed News on Texas's then-supplier: A pharmacy whose license was on probation after regulators found it compounded the wrong drug for 3 kids, sending one to the emergency room, and forged quality control documents. buzzfeednews.com/article/chrism…

Really great investigation by @ChiaraEisner into the pharmacy that's recently been making Texas' execution drugs. npr.org/2024/07/10/nx-…

CT lawmakers say a Hamden company noted in HBO show is no longer making lethal injection drug trib.al/mNiwtUO

NEW: Absolute Standards, the CT company identified as having supplied execution drugs to the Trump admin, has said it “has no intention” to keep producing & selling the drugs, acc to a letter exclusively obtained by @theintercept w/ Dan Moritz-Rabson theintercept.com/2024/06/22/pen…

After she watched the John Oliver episode, she did something she had never done before: google the health effects of PFOS. She was disturbed by what she read. My piece about a former 3Mer discovering - or rediscovering - PFOS in everyone's blood propublica.org/article/3m-for…

@jrosenbaum I went to Milwaukee for game 5, so the pacers owed me this win

CT AG reviewing Hamden company HBO’s John Oliver claims secretly made lethal injection drugs ctinsider.com/news/article/c… by @joshua_eaton @Lbackusoncrime @jacquelinerabe

Reuters and Jonathan Allen did a great job reporting on the secrecy of the federal government in this piece: reuters.com/article/us-usa… And Jonathan's piece was the only reporting (that I saw at least?) about the House Oversight Committee sending a letter to Absolute Standards.

The AP's @mtarm witnessed every execution. He wrote about how what he witnessed was at odds from what the DOJ was claiming in court. apnews.com/article/execut…

I'm going to tweet out some of the really great reporting while the federal executions were ongoing, that really helped inform this piece.
