Some personal news: I'm so incredibly excited to be joining the @latimes Washington bureau. It's bitter sweet as I leave the @MiamiHerald, my professional home for the past five years. I will miss all my colleagues, and the great work we did together.

Cheers to our friends at the @sltrib who sponsored our first gathering tonight of the @tb_times newsroom at a local brewery 13 days after Milton sent a crane crashing into our building, ruining much of what we had inside. Nothing can stop this group’s resilient spirit.

“Florida has no laws on crane safety during high winds, not even for hurricanes. In fact, lawmakers banned cities and counties from passing rules themselves — at the urging of construction lobbyists.” Must-read by @ZackSampson @BetsBarnes @Colleen_Wright tampabay.com/hurricane/2024/…

Speechless. We are at the entrance to our Tampa Bay Times office in downtown St. Petersburg. A crane is blocking the road, and several stories up, smoke billows out of the building from where it appears the crane fell Smell of gas in the air and you can hear alarms #MILTON

"How bout a drink?!" In 2018-19, @LMPD Ninth Mobile officers drove around the city—mostly #LouWestEnd—throwing drinks on people. The @courierjournal's @JWoodJourno obtained videos of the attacks. This marks the first time the so-called #Slushygate videos have been made public.
