Some happy news! After 8 years at @washingtonpost.com as a reporter and editor, I am excited to join @propublica.org as a senior editor collaborating with local news outlets on investigative projects. Basically, my dream job. I will miss my Post peeps deeply. www.propublica.org/atpropublica...

Happy 100th birthday to Mits Yamamoto, a living legend! I had the privilege of meeting Mits when he was 93 and learning about the years he spent imprisoned by the U.S. government, along with 120,000 other Japanese Americans, during World War II. Happy to see him looking so well on local TV!

The family’s water was undrinkable: It corroded taps. It withered plants. Their ice maker expelled clumps of salt. Why? For 2 yrs, Oklahoma oil regulators delayed basic tests that could help them find out. Read @nickbowlin.bsky.social latest for @propublica.org + @readfrontier.bsky.social!

You need to read this heartbreaking @propublica.org account from inside Dilley Detention Center, where hundreds of children are being held.

Saluting Marty, a WaPo legend who walked through the newsroom every day before the pandemic greeting everyone by name. By the time he got to me, in the far reaches of the financial section, it would be close to 6 pm and I’d know it was about time to leave to pick up my son from daycare.

Fuck yeah, @sallyjenx.bsky.social !!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 “At the heart of the institution is something that no one can ever own: the Wilbonian core trained into all of us, an impulse to run to the riverbank that these bumbling strangers who have hobbled the publication will never grasp.”
