The mood had pretty light over the past nine hours — until about 15 minutes ago when the crew brought out tarp. Mood changed immediately with boos and chants of “Shame!”

Breaking news: The Pentagon is moving to recruit hundreds of troops to appear as spectators at President Trump’s UFC cage-fighting event on the White House lawn, and requiring those who attend to pay their own way and meet height and weight requirements. wapo.st/3RFxaIK

This is a great moment to encourage interested reporters to please apply for our open education beat here on Metro -- critical reporting we really do need more of.

I hate talking about how things once were in media, but the Post long had a dedicated schools reporter, as did WAMU. (And I’m sure I am forgetting others.)

I’ve got another opening on my team! Come work for the Washington Post as a Political Enterprise Reporter. We're looking for an “investigative-minded reporter to cover politics, someone who can report authoritatively and write the definitive stories of our political era.” 1/4

Knowing about the world is not a luxury. It is a necessity. After layoffs at @washingtonpost now AFP wants to reduce expatriate positions by 2/3. Don’t be surprised: Soon activists and lobbyists, living comfortably in the West, will replace foreign correspondents reporting from crisis regions. It’s already happening.

Picked up my notebook this morning — full of notes from a recent reporting trip — and got hit with another wave of grief over all the stories that now won't be told. I'm looking for work, preferably in Kyiv, should anyone need a dogged, empathetic reporter. DM/email.

Notable from the NTSB chair today. While no one at the FAA did this work, the Washington Post did. Days after the crash, @byaaroncdavis @Blaskey_S and @abtran calculated the space between an approach to 33 and route 4 — key to gauging risk at our airport.

The @WaysandMeansGOP held a hearing on the impact of rising health care costs on patients and families.
We have to have serious reform of health insurers, pharmacy benefit managers, and their subsidiaries to reduce the cost of healthcare.

Once you grasp this, and understand also that our elected content creators and their staff are also massive content consumers, everything happening now from New York to Minnesota to Greenland becomes comprehensible.
The entire political economy runs on dopamine hits now.
