The @nytimes annotated indictment makes for compelling reading. One of @charliesavage84’s notes in two parts: The speaker of the Arizona House at the time, Rusty Bowers, is a conservative Republican but resisted Mr. Trump’s attempt to persuade him to subvert the election. (more) He was later awarded the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for that action, which ended his political career: Last year, the state Republican Party censured him for his resistance, and he was overwhelmingly defeated in a primary election for State Senate.

Has my newspaper career been a long one? Let’s just say it started when my editors had *glue pots* on their desks. (I can explain, children.) And the thing I’ll miss most is the (gossipy, entertaining) media-desk Slack channel at the Post that I only look at on my phone. Trying to work out a way to stay in the channel as “intern2” or some such. HT: @jeremymbarr

Department of ‘Wait and See’: Kathy Hochul lost re-election to Congress in 2012 when the district was ‘reshaped.’ That vastly benefited Republican Chris Collins. But Collins is a felon now; and Hochul will be New York’s first woman governor if Cuomo resigns. My friend and former @TheBuffaloNews colleague @JerryZremski wrote some of the most important stories about Collins’ insider trading.

Read & weep: We knew the coronavirus downturn was bad for local newspapers but here’s the numbers. From an already disastrous level in 2019’s second quarter to same in 2020, ad revenue down (median) 42 percent. Absolutely brutal and devastating. And yet these local papers have done essential reporting in the virus for their regions. It is a cruel paradox.
