NEW: For 13 months, a milestone pediatric cancer bill has had a Sisyphus like struggle for passage: torpedo by Elon, stopped by Rand, undone by Bernie. Cancer-stricken kids went to the chamber to watch it pass, leaving heartbroken. Today, it became law. thebulwark.com/p/pediatric-ca…

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning. Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section. nytimes.com/2026/02/04/bus…

I was laid off today as part of The Post's job cuts. I don't know what the future holds, but it was the honor of a lifetime to cover D.C.'s local communities over the past 6 years. If you're hiring or want to reach out, DM me or email: mbricesaddler(@)gmail(dot)com
