Even as Tanner Martin faced cancer that would cut his young adulthood short, he and his wife lived life with joy. Read this piece by @arianaeunjung @jaheezus @dtkeating and @DreaCornejo now that Shay, their baby girl, and other family members must move on. washingtonpost.com/health/20…

One of Trump’s IG picks is a former GOP Rep. accused of putting his mistress fiancée’s daughter on the payroll. Another is a GOP lawyer once accused of mishandling taxpayers’ $. A 3rd advised the secretary she’d be a watchdog of. Past IGs have concerns. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

No. No county has voted for the losing candidate in the last seven presidential elections. Nor the last six. Nor the last five. Now I thought my calculations were wrong, so I calculated it a different way. Still none for the last five or the last four. ...

And no county voted for the losing candidate the last three elections. None for -- and I could not believe this -- none for two losers in a row!
Then it hit me -- not a single county voted for Trump in 2020 and then Harris in 2024. Not a single one. So no streak of 2 losers.

So many smart stories in @washingtonpost today about the historic Harris-Trump debate last night.
One feature you may enjoy as much as I did as a reader -- a graphic illustration and chat focused on The Deciders. The reaction from voters who haven't entirely decided on their candidate yet.

Looking back on the year, my favorite story (really of my career) is this gem with @ddiamond @dtkeating -- a good day to give it a read if you haven't!

Seat belts. Cigarette taxes. Public health investment.
Some lawmakers chose to back these policies. Others don’t.
Those choices along red and blue lines are shaving years off American lives.
