People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

The softest Nazis you ever did see They're tough guys in the streets and delicate little babies in court.

"It’s comical that this big, brutal warrior would get on the stand to say that he literally felt assaulted by a sandwich exploding on his uniform. It’s more comical, though, that Dunn’s attorney then showed Larimore a photo of the sandwich on the ground. Wrapped. Not exploded."
