I'm devastated and heartbroken by this news. This is a huge loss for @BuzzFeedNews. I've worked on dozens of stories with @loopemma over the past 3.5 yrs. She is a fearless and tenacious journalist, which is underscored by her appearance in FBI 302s from the Mueller probe

Whether it was working while she was on vacation from the Dominican Republic or filing on weekends and door knocking a source late in the evening and having the door slam shut on her and being told to fuck off, Emma was passionate about every story she/we worked on together.
2/
She is a fantastic journalist, incredibly well sourced & I can't imagine working @BuzzFeedNews without her. Any newsroom that hires Emma would be very lucky to get her

In addition, she has the most amazing taste in music and I'm glad I was able to introduce her to Jawbreaker

3/
Emma, the past 3.5 years have been insane. Thank you for being such a caring, supportive and generous colleague. I'm going to miss working with you and the occasional stake outs on the Hill.

4/4

DEA was granted the authority on Sunday for the next two weeks on a nationwide basis to “intervene” to “protect both participants and spectators in the protests,” and to conduct interviews and searches, and arrest protesters who are alleged to have violated federal law.
From the DEA memo I obtained requesting authority from DOJ to conduct "covert surveillance" on protestors. (Document embedded in the story)

He doesn't care. At all. This has been obvious since before his inauguration. And underscored by his handling and lack of response to the 100K+ deaths from the Covid19 pandemic. We need to stop expecting he will suddenly change.
And backing up my point

The End.
