Elon Musk had said earlier on Sunday he would investigate and “fix it.” Mark Moore, the CEO, is now scrambling to get USAID labels back on the RUTF pouches. “It's a yo-yo," he tells me. "I just texted the factory and told them to switch back to USAID packaging as of midnight."

Dollar Store Jon Favreau is an imbecilic propagandist who lies to score cheap political points. That said, we will investigate whether this is real or not and fix it if it is.

SCOOP: Tyson Foods has subpoenaed two news organizations, demanding they turn over notes and contacts with local farmers whom Tyson Foods put out of business. I've never seen such aggressive subpoenas issued by a major corporation to news media. investigatemidwest.org/2024/12/17/tys…

While working on this story I reached out to several experts in cyber harassment, doxing, etc. I was stunned when multiple experts in this field declined to speak to me on the record for fear of themselves becoming a target of Elon Musk cnn.com/2024/11/27/bus…

After you read this comprehensive write on the risk to journalists please remember it’s a bipartisan threat from both Republicans and Democrats and it may only grow worse after the election. (Myself and so many other reporters know what can happen).

“There’s nothing in the law or in the DOJ policy that precludes charging a journalist for violation of the Espionage Act.” In @CJR, @gabe_rottman discussed threats to #pressfreedom if Trump returns to the White House: cjr.org/covering_the_e…
