Excited to announce my new gig at 7News (WJLA) here in D.C. I'm grateful to be able to serve the local community i've called my home for the last 4 years.

Yet another incident where Members of Congress have been barred from entering a federal agency.
Congrats to Melanie! She's joining an amazing team.
"The soaring price of eggs has forced Waffle House to add a temporary surcharge on customers’ orders.
The Georgia-based chain is adding a 50-cent charge per egg because of the 'nationwide rise in cost of eggs,' according to signs posted at its restaurants."
@msnbc.com is conforming that the #philadelphia plane crash had 6 people on the plane. Prayers for those in Philly
Duckworth: "I think he personally is a compromised individual whom our adversaries are watching and digging the dirt on, and this makes him someone who's vulnerable to our adversaries."

Such a great pack for anyone who wants to know any breaking news.
Check out our @nbcnews.com starter pack, with journalists and reporters from around the world.
JUST IN: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has requested that DOJ provide her with Jack Smith's full case file to facilitate her office's ongoing prosecution of Donald Trump's allies in the 2020 election effort. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
The New Mexico Supreme Court strikes down abortion restrictions by conservative cities and counties at the request of the state attorney general.
That assertion is wrong. The city was in the process of negotiating a new contract with the fire department at the time the budget was being crafted, so additional funding for the department was set aside in a separate fund until that deal was finalized in November. In fact, the city’s fire budget increased more than $50 million year-over-year compared to the last budget cycle, according to Blumenfield’s office, although overall concerns about the department’s staffing level have persisted for a number of years.
I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false.
As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.
What people don't get about fires as someone who used to be a natural disaster reporter:
- the feeling of safety for many people is now gone. It will likely be gone for years
- some people may have lost almost all of their material items
- physical and mental health may be impacted for years
Not a joke: Meta says it will end its fact-checking program and instead rely on Facebook and Instagram users to "correct" posts.
Sen. Schiff tells NBC News that Kash Patel "should not be confirmed" as FBI Director.
"Not someone whose top priority is political vendettas, who believes in deep state conspiracy thinking, not someone who is as unqualified as Kash Patel."

As a producer, the best feeling in the world is seeing all the little things you've worked on for months finally start clicking into place.
I'm going to need all of my colleagues in journalism to confirm that when you write a book, you 100% love the library and also please that you've donated a few copies (mostly so I can read it)
for thanksgiving this year, my dog got marshmellow fluff and a scallop. He loved it.
News can be really overwhelming, but also so important! As a person who literally makes a living in news, here's some of the ways I like to manage the stress:
- Walks outside with my dog
- Quality time with loved ones and no phones
- Trying new recipies
- reading books at the library
This is wild
Also I continue to love it here

BREAKING: Trump nominates former Republican lawmaker and current Fox personality Sean Duffy as Secretary of Transportation.
It took me twelve years (!) to build up my audience on Twitter. It took 5 days to surpass the 50% point of my Twitter following on Bluesky. I’m hopeful that the overall growth on this site will negate the need to go on Twitter altogether. Sad to see what it devolved into, but thrilled to see it die.
