Trump is floating the idea of leaving the UFC cage in front of the White House, comparing it to the Eiffel Tower. 🤦🏽‍♂️ His brain is turning to mush.

Excited, honored to be joining @AP on Oct 1. Have always been a big fan of its journalism and the reporters who work there. Am so glad I had the chance to work at @NPR and leave with deep respect and love for my hard-working colleagues. ap.org/the-definitive-source…

"We were the last journalists in Mariupol. Now there are none." The remarkable story of how an @AP team hid from Russian troops in a hospital, wearing surgical scrubs, to continue telling the world of the city's destruction. apne.ws/KEiim4T

In 40 yrs covering Washington, @brinaylor has seen it all but somehow managed to escape becoming cynical. I deeply admire that his swan song is a love letter to This Town.
Some deride D.C. as a swamp. To others, it's an idealistic place to do good npr.org/2022/03/04/108349426…

Deeply moved by this story set in the Pennsylvania field where Flight 93 crashed 20 years ago, by Tim Lambert @witfnews and @scottdetrow. Worth your time to listen. npr.org/2021/08/31/103305982…

At the Reuters DC bureau, every time Trump tweeted a computer played “Trump tweet, Trump tweet, Trump tweet” in a robot voice and now I’m imagining a world where it never plays again.

Great read --->
While the lives of presidential children and grandchildren have historically been kept mostly private, President-elect Biden's four granddaughters, as well as Vice President-elect Harris' stepchildren, have formed their own public personas. trib.al/ecTAQKD
