This collaboration was the brainchild of an amazing editor, @_SusanCarroll.

When I told her that officials were refusing to release all @KenPaxtonTX's messages during the riot at the Capitol, Susy wondered whether other news organizations were dealing with the same roadblocks.
As usual, Susy was right. She set up meetings with journalists at @statesman, @DallasNews, @ProPublica, @ExpressNews and @TexasTribune. We were all having trouble obtaining public records about @KenPaxtonTX from the Texas attorney general's office.
