After eight months off for the toughest but best assignment of my life (my little boy), I'm back in the ABC's Washington DC bureau with the awesome team and ready for a big few years.

After the horrible incident involving @LaurenTomasi, our crew was tear-gassed and my camera operator shot in the chest with either a rubber or foam bullet. We're both safe but this shouldn't happen to members of the press just trying to do their jobs - youtube.com/shorts/YQTeKaIK9…

Stay strong, @MagdaSzubanski We are all with you ❤️

Everything dope, including the Pope, comes from Chicago! Congratulations to the first American Pope Leo XIV! We hope to welcome you back home soon.

Very excited to share that I’ll soon be moving to Washington DC as North America correspondent with the ABC. I'll miss South-East Asia, its people and their stories but looking forward to working with the fabulous DC bureau team.

“Yes I feel fully recharged after a restful holiday”

For years, the Syrian regime denied that captagon production happened within territories it controlled. Yet in the first three days since Assad left, we've found industrial-scale captagon trafficking and manufacturing facilities in: 1. Mazzeh Air Base (likely affiliated with the Air Force Intelligence Directorate) 2. Latakia (found at Munther al-Assad's Syria Car Trading Company) 3. Douma (found at a major production facility believed to be controlled by Maher al-Assad--equipped with all of the precursor materials you'd ever need and even pretty chandeliers!) 4. Undisclosed Location (a warehouse affilicated with Maher where captagon pills were dumped) 5. Undisclosed location (a 4th Division HQ facility where bags of captagon were found) It looks like local community members and opposition forces are incinerating pills and disassembling facilities as they identify them. We should expect much more to come. Video credit of the Douma raid from @QalaatAlMudiq
