NEW: The assassination of Melissa Hortman last year exposed a crisis of threats & abuse facing state lawmakers I spent months asking law enforcement agencies in all 50 states what they're doing to prevent it from happening again. That reporting is out today (link in replies)

@MEPFuller @JakeLahut Wow, simply incredible.

@BrentGriffiths @JakeLahut You also need to understand that it costs $10,000 just to get access to Berckmans Place.

The thing about “Masters haul” videos — and I can’t stop watching them — is that these people will never wear half of this crap. It’s just consumption for the sake of consumption. These people could never articulate why they’re buying 20 hats. It’s Beanie Babies for golf.

@MEPFuller @JakeLahut I’m so deep into it that I now know the VIP merch gets its own special logo. I didn’t need to know that but now I do.

@JakeLahut This is the tip of the ice berg: tiktok.com/t/ZTkfsT3Cg/

People thought there wasn't enough Busch Light in OKC? Wait until Iowa and Nebraska converge in Houston

FWIW, Secretary Rice is at the White House for a roundtable on the future of college sports. She was an inaugural member of the College Football Playoff Committee in 2013.

A big congrats to one of the real good guys of DC journalism.

I got to know Paige when she was an editor on a bunch of daily newsletters. I knew her as a doer with phenomenal attention to detail. She’s returned to writing and I’ve loved reading her. Thorough, fairly reported scoops. Phenomenal. Hire her

Dino has one of the best beats in the business. He is one of few national reporters who covers wildlife/conservation full time, and he does it with tremendous style, imagination and heart. His stories about angel sharks and ivory billed woodpeckers have made me misty-eyed.

Thank you to everyone who has offered support for the Washington Post journalists impacted by today’s layoffs. If you would like to buy some beers or food to support our colleagues today, you can Venmo me. We are so grateful for your kind words, truly. venmo.com/u/AnnahBackstr…

@pw_cunningham So sorry, Paige. You were an incredible colleague and did absolutely amazing work

I’m stunned and heartbroken. I’ve been laid off, along with so many dear colleagues. Making my way to The Post nine years ago felt like a dream come true.

as usual, ⁦@AshleyRParker⁩ writes it beautifully and says it better than most anyone else could. theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…
