Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying.

“All we are is essentially other people’s collective effort.” When my immigrant, farm-working parents see my name in @washingtonpost, they will essentially see their hard work, sacrifices, and themselves in one of the most important newspapers in the country. That’s so dope!

@eh_mah_nwel @washingtonpost Congratulations! So well earned!

OMG, watch @PressSec's response to this reporter. "We don't take our advice or counsel from former President Trump." 💥💥💥

Esta entrevista de @andersoncooper con @TheAmandaGorman es luminosa. Cuenta como una niña que tenía dificultades para hablar termina convertida en la estrella de la posesión presidencial en EEUU, y comparte el mantra que repite cada vez que va a recitar.

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country. The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not. I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.

@lendegroot @datagraphics @mkballinger @brittanyhite Wishing you all the happiness in the world in this new phase of your life. Very excited for you!

I can’t believe I have to say this, but please don’t drink bleach.

@charpruett Bondi Beach is on of my favorite places on earth! You’ll definitely make friends in Australia 🇦🇺

Hi all! I moved to Bondi Beach outside of Sydney, Australia with no job and without knowing anyone! I’m looking to free lance, get a day job, travel & maybe even make some friends😄 I’m excited for my new adventure & I’ll keep you posted!

@jeremybowers @macloo @mattwaite @webjournalist @ndiakopoulos @rbbrenner Here's what my students produce: annenberginteractives.com @AnnenbergMedia

So, it turns out my new team has TWO PAID internship slots this summer ... and more for the fall, winter and spring. HMU if you have students looking to do computational journalism in DC focused on politics! cc @macloo @mattwaite @webjournalist @ndiakopoulos @rbbrenner

@jeremybowers @macloo @mattwaite @webjournalist @ndiakopoulos @rbbrenner I have lots of highly skilled (and diverse) student coders for you. I will email you directly. And just for the record: coding is now required for both grad and undergrad journalism students at @USCAnnenberg, so I have a pipeline for you.

Inventor of the Dishwasher: I HAVE CREATED SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE ALL YOUR LIVES EASIER. Humanity: WHOA. So we just put dirty dishes in and it cleans them? IoDW: Um, no. You need to wash them first. H: Uh... IoDW: Not thoroughly. Just, like, what you'd do if you were drunk.

So thrilled to see @USCAnnenberg journalism alumni @MattHjourno and @eman_thedataman recognized by @PulitzerPrizes for their tremendous work. Fight On! annenberg.usc.edu/news/spotlight… #ascj #Pulitzer

Following the New Zealand terror attack, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced new, stricter gun laws. How will these laws compare to the rest of the world? We’ve made an interactive map exploring gun laws in 20 different countries to compare. annenberginteractives.com/gunlaws/

I find it revealing when people mock where I came from, & say they’re going to “send me back to waitressing,” as if that is bad or shameful. It’s as though they think being a member of Congress makes you intrinsically “better” than a waitress. But our job is to serve, not rule.

If you’re a working professional at #NICAR19 take time to talk to some of the students there this year. We have to support the next generation of data journalists.
