Piper French / @pipersfrench: The Appeal paid me well to do serious reporting on prosecutorial & sheriff abuses, local organizing, & policy shifts.

Matt Stoller / @matthewstoller: Having views on antitrust law is not a conflict of interest. https://www.wsj.com/...
Richard Field / @tyillc: Pretty clear why Amazon would want this. Also pretty clear Biden Administration selected Khan specifically because of her argument for breaking up Amazon. https://twitter.com/...
Dave Lee / Financial Times: Amazon seeks to force FTC chair Lina Khan to step aside from investigations
Matt Stoller / @matthewstoller: Fun fact - this recusal request was written by Thomas Barnett, who ran antitrust for George W. Bush when Amazon/Google began consolidating markets. He now works for Amazon. https://twitter.com/...
James Surowiecki / @jamessurowiecki: I don't get this. I'm skeptical of Khan's take on Amazon, but the FTC isn't a court: it's a regulatory agency within the executive branch. The fact that FTC commissioners have particular policy views is part of why presidents appoint them. https://www.bloomberg.com/...
Devin Coldewey / TechCrunch: Amazon betrays its fear with petition to sideline FTC Chair and antitrust hawk Lina Khan
Aditya Kalra / @adityakalra: Amazon is seeking recusal of @linakhanFTC in antitrust probes, saying “given her...repeated proclamations that Amazon has violated the antitrust laws, a reasonable observer” would conclude she cannot have an open mind on Amazon's antitrust defenses https://www.wsj.com/...

David McCabe / New York Times: Amazon says the new F.T.C. chair, Lina Khan, should recuse herself from investigations.
Stacy Mitchell / @stacyfmitchell: So predictable. And ridiculous, obviously. Amazon is going to pursue every single angle they can invent to try to dodge scrutiny. https://twitter.com/...
Marshall Steinbaum / @econ_marshall: And this thread tells you how hard we have to work to reverse that.

Khan “has on numerous occasions argued that Amazon is guilty of antitrust violations and should be broken up”
Todd Spangler / Variety: Amazon Wants FTC Chair Lina Khan Kicked Off MGM Review, Other Antitrust Probes
Chris Walker / @chris_j_walker: Fascinating to see Amazon move to recuse new FTC Chair Lina Khan for her prior work at Open Markets where she argued Amazon had committed antitrust violations and in the House investigation of Amazon: https://www.wsj.com/...
Laurie Voss / @seldo: “We do not think the chair of the FTC should rule on Amazon because she has previously said Amazon is bad” is a really strange take on the purpose of political appointments to regulators. Yes, she's not a fan of Amazon, that is why she was given the job. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

Julia Carrie Wong / @juliacarriew: Meanwhile, rightwing institutions and fundraisers are going to keep this train moving. They have plans to expand to more local fights. The next viral school board video could come from a district near you. https://www.theguardian.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Julia Carrie Wong / @juliacarriew: What does this all mean? There's a temptation to dismiss what is happening as “astroturf”, but I think that misses the real anger and energy of many parents. @beccalew suggests a comparison with the Tea Party, which also built on a real grassroots https://www.theguardian.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Robert Young Pelton / @ryp__: How to lead the media around by nose: “many of the people that Fox News had billed as simply parents were in fact professional political operatives, prompting criticism that the entire anti-CRT movement was “obvious astroturf” https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Steve Rathje / @steverathje2: .@juliacarriew cites our @PNASNews study in the @guardian, arguing that the virality of posts about critical race theory in the right-wing media is another example of out-group animosity driving online engagement. https://www.theguardian.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Nayyera / @nayyeroar: We are losing the fact-based information war. This is what happened with media in the developing world — it became less of a profession, more of a trade/money making scheme for people with “ideas.” https://twitter.com/...
Nicole Elan / @nicole_chenelle: This has been the issue since pre anti-CRT, when these groups were “reopen schools” Instead of being called out by the media for being antivaxxers, racists, & quite literally harassing & stalking critics, they coddled them as “concerned parents” https://twitter.com/...
Ryan James Girdusky / @ryangirdusky: “In May, Republican operatives established a new political action committee, the 1776 Project Pac, to fund school board takeover campaigns around the country.” Cry more libs https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Julia Carrie Wong / @juliacarriew: And we all know how well conspiracy material does on Facebook. I looked at FB data for every public post mentioning CRT since 1 Jan, to see which Pages were driving the conversation. The mainstream, fact-based media is not even on the map. https://www.theguardian.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...

Tucker Carlson / @tuckercarlson: Whistleblower to Tucker: You're being monitored https://twitter.com/...
Erik Wemple / Washington Post: Fox News doesn't believe Tucker Carlson
Summer Concepcion / Talking Points Memo: McCarthy Comes To Carlson's Side After Wild NSA Claim ... And Ropes Nunes Into It
Will Doran / @will_doran: Interesting that the NSA denies they ever specifically targeted Tucker Carlson with wiretaps or reading his texts or whatever—but they don't say anything about whether he was monitored incidentally (For instance if he was talking with someone overseas who they were spying on) https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Solender / Forbes: GOP Leader McCarthy Taps Devin Nunes To Probe Tucker Carlson's NSA Spying Claims
David Folkenflik / @davidfolkenflik: Other news organizations didn't say it was normal or okay for NSA or other nat sec/intel agencies to spy on him, despite what Carlson says here. They were questioning Carlson's veracity, given his record, and absent greater proof than he's served up. https://twitter.com/...
Samson Amore / The Wrap: Trump Backs Unsubstantiated Claim the NSA Is Spying on Tucker Carlson: ‘Totally Believable’
Joe Walsh / @walshfreedom: The problem with Tucker Carlson is that you can't really believe much of what he says. I mean didn't his lawyers even say in court that he shouldn't be believed? https://twitter.com/...
Charlotte Klein / Vanity Fair: NSA: We Have Better Things to Do Than Spy on Tucker Carlson
Pat Bagley / @patbagley: Tucker says there's an entire task force dedicated to spying on him. Working in shifts. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
David Bier / @david_j_bier: That is weird. “A Fox News spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on why the network was failing to cover Carlson's claim that he had confirmed the federal government was actively conspiring to kick him off the air.” https://www.cnn.com/...
Arden Dier / Newser: NSA Responds to Tucker Carlson's Spying Claims
Jim Geraghty / @jimgeraghty: Color me exceptionally skeptical of Tucker Carlson's claim that the U.S. National Security is spying on his texts and emails and plans “to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air” — with a caveat. https://www.nationalreview.com/ ...
Alex Koppelman / @alexkoppelman: Fox News' website has finally covered this bombshell story by... publishing a poorly formatted transcript of what Tucker said, bylined to “Fox News Staff.” https://www.foxnews.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Chris Krebs / @c_c_krebs: Kudos to the @NSAGov. This is how you address disinfo head on. Lay out the underlying facts of how the system works. The authorities, the controls, the focus. Let's put this in simple terms: if Tucker and Fox believe something so egregious as claimed happened, then lawyer up. https://twitter.com/...
Juliette Kayyem / @juliettekayyem: It's hard to pick the best part of this tweet. The government pushback at domestic disinformation? The introduction to the statement that doesn't give Carlson any billing? Or the bored tone, like “the adults really don't think about you much at all?” https://twitter.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: One way you know Fox is not a news network is that when Carlson makes a wild — but important-if-true — factual claim, the so-called “news side” doesn't confirm it, refute it, or even tell you they're working on it. A news network would not act like that. https://www.cnn.com/...
Philip Bump / @pbump: I mean, Carlson's repeated assertions that the NSA is illegally and corruptly spying on him didn't even lead his *own* show. So it's sort of hard to assume that this time his allegation is well founded. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Naveed Jamali / @naveedajamali: It appears that if @TuckerCarlson had a legitimate source, Fox News would be covering and demanding redress from the government, they are doing neither. Making it likely Tucker got duped. https://www.cnn.com/...
Eric Boehlert / @ericboehlert: I love that not a single person at Fox News will touch this “story” https://twitter.com/...
Brad Simpson / @bradleyrsimpson: Is it me, or has @ggreenwald's Twitter feed devolved into defending whatever batshit conspiracy theory white nationalist, racist, xenophobe Tucker Carlson happens to be spewing: “The NSA is spying on me! CRT is white genocide! The FBI instigated Jan 6!” https://twitter.com/...
@rolandsmartin: We all know @TuckerCarlson is LYING. Even @FoxNews attorneys said in court not to believe what he says https://twitter.com/...
Michael S. Smith II / @michaelssmithii: Wow! This guy is still on Twitter. https://twitter.com/...
Molly Jong-Fast / @mollyjongfast: I wonder how long he can keep saying this without any evidence to support his claims? https://twitter.com/...
Dominick Mastrangelo / The Hill: Tucker Carlson doubles down on NSA spy claim after agency denial
Eric Swalwell / @ericswalwell: Settle down, Tucker. https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: In fact, I noted repeatedly today that the claim Carlson is making is explosive, which is why it is *very strange* that his Fox colleagues are not touching it and Fox execs are not condemning the NSA. Most plausible explanation is that they simply don't believe him. https://twitter.com/...
Thomas Rid / @ridt: “Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it” — old SIGINT proverb
@coreypein: I'm sure the NSA is spying on Tucker like they are everyone else. A pox on both their houses. But if I had to pick which has done more harm to the US, you'd have to convince me it's not Tucker.
@thetnholler: White supremacist with a microphone @TuckerCarlson: “The NSA targeted me and read my emails.” NSA👇🏽: “Tucker was never a target, we target foreign powers.” Seems to beg the question: Who were you emailing, Tucker? 🧐 https://twitter.com/...
@coreypein: NSA has built monstrous databases with all our emails and phone calls. It's a turnkey system of control waiting for some totalitarian to take over and exploit. Tucker works every day to put fascists in power and inspire acts of violence. He's the more imminent danger.
Liz Mair / @lizmair: (But also I do not think Tucker's assertions are correct here.) https://twitter.com/...
Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: First, it's bizarre that @NSAGov allow no replies. Second, NSA has used this same deceit for years: they can spy on US citizens' communications without “targeting” the American. Third, NSA has extremely broad authorities to collect communications without “targeting” a person. https://twitter.com/...
Rachel Bovard / @rachelbovard: Even after reforms put in place in 2014, US spy agencies can still access bulk metadata on American citizens who aren't the targets of specific dragnets. Intel agencies say “trust us,” we won't look at it. Okay. https://twitter.com/...
Kevin Collier / @kevincollier: It's extremely, extremely rare to get an intelligence agency to outright deny they're looking at someone rather than a no comment and maybe an “off the record, that's not the kind of thing we do.” And a tweet, no less! This Tucker guy must be awful special https://twitter.com/...
Will Doran / @will_doran: Also, not many reasons to take them at their word when it comes to whether they're spying on US citizens or not https://www.nytimes.com/...
A.J. Katz / TVNewser: NSA Denies Tucker Carlson's Claims That Agency Read His Private Emails Without Permission
Charles Creitz / Fox News: Tucker on NSA surveillance claim: ‘No denial’ from White House; agency response ‘infuriatingly dishonest’
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: I guess the explosive claim that the NSA is spying on @TuckerCarlson so that it can leak his communications in a bid to kick him off the air — which Carlson says he CONFIRMED — is not big enough of a story for @BretBaier to kick off his show. That or Baier doesn't believe him. 🤔
Greg Sargent / @theplumlinegs: Notable: @ErikWemple is trying to get Fox News to comment on Tucker Carlson's claim that the NSA spied on him. No luck yet, even though Fox spinners “are typically quick to knock down any anti-Carlson narrative gaining traction.” Via @PostOpinions: https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
