@ChrisMarquette_ @politico Congrats!!!

Today is my first day @politico where I'll be covering transportation and writing the Morning Transportation newsletter. I'm thrilled to get started! Please reach out with tips, etc to cmarquette@politico.com

We are horrified by this brutal attack. Elena Milashina of @novaya_gazeta is part of our @UMWallaceHouse family. She is a dear friend. When you break a journalist’s fingers, the message is meant to silence all journalists. We will not be silent. Elena, we are here.

@BobMcGovernJr Hopefully they’ll keep the angry hand-written letters coming.

I once wrote a weather story, and a Herald commenter said: "I hope Mrs. McGovern is proud that her dumbass son knows how to go outside and look at the sky."

The Capitol Police has been rejecting officer applicants after pre-employment psychological evaluations at a rate three times the national average. Excellent reporting by @ChrisMarquette_

A growing number of people are sharing personal stories online about viral weight loss meds – delving into their potentially gut-wrenching side effects webmd.com/obesity/news/2… #ozempic #weightloss

Our #KnightWallaceFellows got mind-bending dose of wonder, possibility and hope today from astrophysicist and former NASA head of science @Dr_ThomasZ . And on #PiDay, no less! The universe expands when Dr. Z comes to visit.@UMWallaceHouse @UMich

“The largest and loudest voices are not necessarily correlative to the most truthful.” Thank you @jelani9, @UMWallaceHouse, and @fordschool interim dean @watkinshayes for the fantastic conversation on media and democracy.

Tune in now to hear from @jelani9 and @fordschool interim dean @watkinshayes as they discuss threats to democracy and its historical context, the ways in which we discuss democracy, ways to address anxiety and fear and more. @michiganalumni @detroitpublictv @pbsbooks

@BobMcGovernJr Congrats, you completed the Tough Fadder

I took 10,336 steps in Jordan's Furniture today with a 5-year-old and an 8-month-old, and I personally believe that's more impressive than an actual athletic feat

@atossaaraxia I think this means you're a real Michigander now

This kind of thing happens at every level of journalism, and it's not right. Now that I'm on "the other side," I frequently see scoops get repurposed without credit, and I get frustrated for the reporter. Giving credit where it's due is free.

Starting now, @ChrisMarquette_ interviews Ira Shapiro on his new book, The Betrayal, on the state of the U.S. Senate. Shapiro: “They failed completely, they failed knowingly, and they failed again and again.” @fordschool @UMWallaceHouse #policytalks #democracyanddebate

@BobMcGovernJr Happy for you, Bob!

After leaving the Herald, I thought I'd never find a gig that brought me the same level of chaotic satisfaction. I never thought I'd be a flak. I took a job as comms director for CPCS three years ago today, and I couldn't be happier with my new chaos and our awesome mission.

Massachusetts is celebrating a series of pandemic-era measures made permanent in June, but obstacles remain that disproportionately affect Black and Latino voters publicintegrity.org/politics/elect… #VotingMatters #VotingRights

As it stands, there is no in-person early voting in Michigan. A new ballot initiative would change that. #Voting #VotingRights publicintegrity.org/politics/elect…

A cocktail of new voter suppression laws in Montana, disproportionately disenfranchising the state’s Indigenous population and younger voters, were struck down by a judge in September publicintegrity.org/politics/elect… #VotingRights

My last freelance project from before the @UMWallaceHouse fellowship began: a look at voter disenfranchisement across the U.S. from @publicintegrity: publicintegrity.org/politics/elect…

@Alexandra_Talty You’re going to love our five-minute fall though
