Our top story at the Mississippi Free Press today: "Trump Encourages Russia to Attack American Allies: ‘Do Whatever the Hell They Want’" We may be a local Mississippi outlet, but this is important. It should be leading every newspaper in the country. mississippifreepress.org/39734/trump-en…

After a 3.5hr flight, landed 45mins ago and still on an @AUStinAirport tarmac waiting for broken down equipment in the path to the gate to be moved. Admittedly, don’t get how it all works, but I guess backing up and pulling into another gate is not an option. Longest day ever…

Very sorry to hear, Davis. You did amazing work with The Texas Tribune among several others. Any investigative news unit would be lucky to have you on their team.
