Went to the park and finished @davidenrich.bsky.social’s Murder the Truth. An excellent, well reported account of the years-long conservative legal campaign to dismantle NY Times v. Sullivan, and why it matters for journalism. Highly recommend.

In January 2025, I spoke to @davidenrich.bsky.social about how independent news outlets like ours were bracing for an "onslaught" from Trump. Last April, I warned a room full of funders at SEJ that I had no faith I could safely make it back into that room the following year. I hate to be right.

Award-winning investigative journalist kicked out of US by Trump administration.
If you're reading this, my cat and I have boarded a one-way flight out of the United States. The Trump administration wrongfully denied my work permit renewal; after months of demanding that they follow the law, we have run out of legal recourse, and I have no choice but to leave the country. (🧵)
To those who don't think the note sounds like something Epstein would say, he used a similar phrase with a childhood friend and his brother. www.justice.gov/epstein/file... www.justice.gov/epstein/file...
🚨🚨 Epstein's apparent suicide note, unsealed today at the request of @nytimes.com. "They investigated me for months. Found NOTHING!! It is a treat to be able to choose one's time to say goodbye. Watcha want me to do- Bust out cryin!! NO FUN--NOT WORTH IT!!" www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/n...

My brother just published a book about his experience blowing the whistle at USAID. I am biased, but the book is gripping and important. Please read it. www.simonandschuster.com/books/Into-t...
My brother's book comes out tomorrow. Here's an excerpt. Wild stuff.
NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:
When a USAID whistleblower told Trump people that it'd be hard to pull together accurate info on Malaria since DOGE had turned off access to the whole team who worked on that issue, one of the guys shouted “See, this is why, just because it might work at Twitter does not mean you can do it here!”
Whistleblower says Trump officials thought USAID did 'just abortions,' asked for 'Barney-style' slides before gutting agency, per new book
