Good morning. I begin today with some sad personal news on this the 27th day of the Proud Boys seditious conspiracy trial. As of Tuesday, I will be laid off from Daily Kos. But today, I will have coverage as I have for months. We start at 9am ET.

I wanted to continue my work here, very much. I think reporting on Jan. 6, extremism and accountability for the insurrection is critically important because it touches so many aspects of our American society. But alas, my work on this won't continue with Daily Kos.

THE GOOD NEWS, however, is that emptywheel is giving me a home to finish out this trial. That means a lot to me and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity. After this trial is over, it will be a brand new unknown world for me. Again.

@Brandi_BuchmanSorry to hear that Brandi! Do they think these trials and reports are unimportant? Have they joined others who see proud boys actions and consequences as "The norm" and not worth reporting?I hope you find a permanent home soon.

@Brandi_Buchman I am so sorry to hear this. Many of us are aware of the struggles and tensions going on behind the scenes at Daily Kos. And I greatly admire all of the journalists for being so professional throughout this entire thing. Your reporting has been invaluable and exemplary, and I hope to see you soon continuing that good work in another situation.
