My final story for The Washington Post is about the first third country deportation flight from the U.S. to Ghana. I spoke to two people who were on that Sept. 5-6 flight, including a woman from Togo who fled the country in 2024 to escape FGM. wapo.st/4dvSWHn

Thailand is one of the first ag countries to enter a planting season since the Iran war. We went to document the impact of supply shocks to fuel/fertilizer — It was worse than I anticipated.
Farmers are leaving huge tracts of land barren bc they can’t afford to plant.

This is my first week at The Banner's new Prince George's County bureau. I'm covering education and all things children and families. I'm so excited to join a newsroom that supports local stories rooted in our communities. Have a story idea? DMs are open!

I can't stop being happy for @FedGirlWaPo -- who mined the fed workforce beat unlike any other Postie has done.
So happy for all my friends who won the Pulitzer for covering DOGE fallout, but Lisa is such a gem. Few reporters have her arc these days ...

I was beyond honored to be at The Washington Post today on behalf of my ex @ DanEggenDC who shaped some of the coverage that won the Public Service Pulitzer today. He would have been beyond proud of everyone and so touched by their praise. Grateful I could be there.

And what a story.
Three months later, this is my last @washingtonpost story — delayed because nearly everyone involved in it was laid off. I am very grateful to newsroom friends who made sure it published anyway, and to brave Roman Mongold and his family for their time.

The Justice Department is wielding a pricey strategy to undermine cases brought against President Donald Trump’s allies during previous administrations: high-dollar payouts to the subjects of those investigations.

Supreme Court justices are joining the herd of celebrities publishing children's books. Why? Because they're themselves turning into celebrity brands, experts say -- which takes focus away from court business. The justices are also cashing in. Sotomayor has made $870K since 2017, largely from children's publishing. Gift link: wapo.st/4sCUUdf
