"His professional and online history call into question whether he would pass the background check typically required to obtain security clearances, security experts tell WIRED." Says one: “Plus his handle is literally Big Balls.”

i hate journalism halloween what do you mean you’re writing directly in the cms

@AoDespair @bobdylan once that the cops have chased after and caught him/and that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom -- is one of the greatest rhymes

I'm committed to dumping this platform after Tuesday, when all advocacy or insult in this rancid election cycle is made moot. But now, @BobDylan is tweeting about everything from eating at Dooky Chase to meeting hockey players in elevators and I am beside myself. Yo, Bob. I have every album and all the bootleg series, a lefty cousin who used to sing-a-long in Washington Square with Woody and Cisco, and, when I worked at a newspaper in Baltimore, I was the last reporter to interview Billy Zantzinger, who admitted reluctantly that "Blowin' In The Wind" was pretty good stuff. DM me before Wednesday and we can kibbitz.

incredible move by the Washington Post TikTok guy: He made a TikTok about the paper’s non-endorsement move on the Washington Post account. top comment is: “fascinating that THIS was allowed”

🚨 The Committee to Protect Journalists is aware of accusations made by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) against several journalists in Gaza accusing them of being members of militant groups. Israel has repeatedly made similar unproven claims without producing credible evidence. After killing Al Jazeera correspondent Ismail Al Ghoul in July, the IDF previously produced a similar document, which contained contradictory information, showing that Al Ghoul, born in 1997, received a Hamas military ranking in 2007 – when he would have been 10 years old.

@sethharpesq Need to see the footnotes!

"This is nutty but I don't think the book needs it," says my editor. I'm sure she's right, but I'm still sad to see it go 😂

Israel has published more videos of its own airstrikes than any other modern military - boasting precision in its campaign in Gaza. But who was really killed? A new Airwars visual investigation in collaboration with @SkyNews idf-tweets-gaza.airwars.org

The Academy of American Poets has published this poem, and that is a very, very good thing.

One of the most moving pieces of partner impact I have witnessed during my time @pulitzercenter. India's Supreme Court just banned caste-based work in prisons after an exposé by @sukanyashantha & @jahnavi_sen of @thewire_in. The chief judge thanked the reporters for their work.

Can we take a rest? Maybe die for a few months or years and wake up when the poem is complete, when the flowers in our garden start to grow, their scent luring the sparrows into visiting our house, our house that’s now a small forest of rubble.

If you are an American, I want you to think very hard about what these images in south Beirut remind you of.

A 10-month @NBCNews investigation reveals how the corpses of the poor were systematically cut up and leased out — to major medtech companies, universities, the Army and beyond — as part of a flourishing business. When confronted by our reporters, the program was suspended, the executives were fired. Dealing the Dead: By @Mike_Hixenbaugh @jonschuppe and Susy Carroll: nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u…
