Trump held a fundraising contest promising the winner a dinner with the former president. He collected the money but no one ever got the dinner. "Administrative error," his office says. ⁦@jdawsey1⁩ ⁦@isaacstanbecker⁩ https://t.co/LBmXLLSCTs — PolitiTweet.org

Ukraine is parading around captured Russian soldiers as a powerful tool to counter the Kremlin’s propaganda, but is it a violation of the Geneva Convention meant to ensure that prisoners are treated humanely? ⁦@ikhurshudyan⁩ ⁦@sammy_westfall⁩ https://t.co/lKbmzoPyBu — PolitiTweet.org

At 90, Andrew Young, one of the last of the civil rights lions, looks ahead with optimism. “People do despair,” he tells @RichardFausset. "But there’s nothing about the culture that came out of slavery from Africa that let the people give up.” https://t.co/3UGQHsUYrG — PolitiTweet.org

Inflation climbs to 7.9%, the fastest pace in 40 years, as gas prices increase and a wide array of goods and services grow more expensive. @jeannasmialek https://t.co/AMXwTFuPeM — PolitiTweet.org

Russian TV creates the false impression that Ukrainians are shooting at themselves, according to @olgakhazan who watched to see the parallel universe Putin’s state media is creating for the Russian audience. https://t.co/OCtSEtGeuz — PolitiTweet.org

Contrary to assertions that the news media has been effectively immunized from libel cases, a survey of 12 large outlets shows cases increasing from 74 to 115 from 2016-21 compared to the preceding six years. ⁦@MediaLawMLRC⁩ ⁦@LeeLevineDC⁩ https://t.co/EW5dMyoMVq — PolitiTweet.org

@cliffordlevy @nytimes @meslackman Terrible all around. As bad as things sometimes got when @sbg1 and I were in Moscow for the @washingtonpost at the beginning of the Putin era, it never came close to this. It says something when repressive Russia is seen as more dangerous for journalists than war-torn Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

In 1900, Rep. George Henry White, the only Black member of Congress at the time, introduced legislation to make lynching a hate crime. More than a century later, Congress finally passes such a law. @ESCochrane https://t.co/MtrLElAL5e — PolitiTweet.org
