Dem Rep. Sean Casten (Ill.) exclusively to WaPo's @Rho_Co: "It is critically important" for Ethics Committee to release Matt Gaetz report, even after Gaetz's withdrawal. Says Gaetz "can't get away from those allegations just because you've resigned."

@washingtonpost is a great and resilient news organization. But we are losing the equivalent of a great newspaper with the people who are taking buyouts. The amount of talent departing is staggering. Thank you to all of you for what you’ve given to The Post. We will miss you.

If you're looking at national news today it's a good time to read @stephkuzy's reporting on sudden death in (particularly youth) sports. This problem isn't new, and I don't think most folks understand the scope of it. courier-journal.com/in-depth…

Things are going great over on Threads

Early takeaways from Threads; - the timeline isn’t chronological, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to swipe over to a chronological column. - the feed is full of posts from accounts I haven’t followed, instead of the ones I have. there seems to be no way to filter this.
