🚨Major investigation just dropped at @DropSiteNews in partnership with a consortium of independent European news outlets. A major player in global journalism is primarily bankrolled by the U.S. State Department, we can reveal. Story to follow in next post:
🚨 Today at @DropSiteNews--in collaboration w/TI Brasil--we're publishing text messages sent by the US-backed attorney general, a rise star celebrated in Time magazine by Samantha Power, that show her using the powers of her office to undermine the party of Rafael Correa /1
For instance, in one message sent to Ronny Aleaga, who says he had an "intimate relationship" with Salazar despite being political adversaries, she says she is delaying the prosecution of a right-wing official so as not to help the left in the elections dropsitenews.com/p/ecuador-left…
Back in the summer of 2018, Minnesota AG Lori Swanson was surging toward the nomination for governor, polling well ahead of Tim Walz and another candidate.
@rmc031 was spending the summer there and picked up on a scandal the MN press had failed to uncover
The short version is Swanson for years had been deploying her govt staff for campaign and personal stuff. It was a really hard story to nail down and to write in a way that got across what a true scandal it was. She pulled it off, the MN press picked up on it, Swanson flailed and flamed out

1/ There is a lot of manufactured confusion around these ceasefire proposals, but what happened is fairly simple:
On 5/29, Israel’s war cabinet approved an offer for a ceasefire that was transmitted to Hamas. Netanyahu only agreed to it under extreme pressure, and over the opposition of Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, who are not in the war cabinet.
On 5/30, Hamas rejected it, saying no to talks unless Israel stopped its assault. Here’s their statement:
On 5/31, Biden grabbed the Israeli proposal, which Netanyahu had been happy to see rejected by Hamas, and made it fully public, cleverly but accurately calling it the Israeli proposal. Which it is. But Netanyahu hates it.
So now Netanyahu is walking back from it while Hamas is responding “positively.”
Now the mediators, U.S., Qatar, and Egypt, are putting pressure on both Israel and Hamas to accept the deal
