To the city, county and police agency record custodians of Georgia: Hi! I'm Jennifer P at the AJC, and there's a good chance you recently got a records request from me. This Twitter thread is for you!

Of the 164 million vaccinated Americans, less than 0.1% have been infected with the coronavirus, and 0.001% have died, according to data from the CDC. trib.al/jrExoEW

Even though I am vaccinated, I am masking up again for those who aren't eligible for the vaccine yet, like my daughter. Let's do the right thing for those who need us the most right now.

Meticulous, methodical deconstruction of Mitch McConnell by Michael Kranish, who must have spent 2 months on it. I'd add: McC's key objective is to keep his caucus (and the party) together, which maximizes their power -- and thwarts challenges to his power. washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…

A January 6th primer. This is a patriot confronting traitors in the act of committing treason. Right vs wrong. Good vs evil. The rule of law vs the mob. “Which side are you on?”

Another Kentucky legislative session; another unconstitutional and unworkable proposal to amend the ORA and create a private right of action to sue journalists or citizens for protected speech (including on this platform). Below is the KPA statement strongly opposing SB 63. 1/

Should there be a special place in hell or at least permanent purgatory for someone whose career was entirely in journalism until she got into politics and decided to go full-on with Trump and The Big Lie? The weekly paper in her Iowa hometown took a look: irjci.blogspot.com/2022/07/iowa-w…

Love this column. It’s all here — journalism, history, politics, rural America, Ireland, poetry.

Kelly Craft goes after Beshear, Biden in campaign kick-off but won’t answer questions afterward. Not a good look. kentucky.com/news/politics-…

Linda Ronstadt can't sing now, but now she has a cookbook/history that she calls 'a song' and tells the story of her native Sonoran Desert and its food: irjci.blogspot.com/2022/10/linda-…

I’ve taken my hits from the press over the years, most of it deserved. I have always strongly supported the press, the First Amendment, and the critical role they have in our democracy. This video should scare all Americans. May God protect us/our souls x.com/crewcrew/statu…

Glad to read I'm not the only one wondering why our vice president is always laughing. kathleenparker washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…
