New: The push for generational change in the Democratic Party faces a test in Illinois' 9th congressional district, where the top candidates span three generations: from Gen X and millennials to Gen Z. Read/listen npr.org/2026/03/13/nx-…

Just an amazing story by Linda Qui. Not only is the @USDA acknowledging labor shortages brought on by Trump immigration policies. It is expanding temporary visas for farm workers AND lowering migrant worker pay, effectively allowing indentured service. nytimes.com/2026/03/15/us/…

The size of the @nytimes newsroom: Publisher AG Sulzberger says it’s now 2300 journalists, doubled from 10 years ago.

"You must be new here," @Ryanair nails it. Because of course they do. nytimes.com/2026/03/07/us/… Very funny @bymarkwalker

Perfect light and pose notwithstanding, these men are proof that affection does not always come with an eye for angles, @bymarkwalker writes. nytimes.com/2026/03/11/sty…

BREAKING: DOJ officially walked away from the executive orders Trump leveled against law firms that refused to capitulate. This means that those firms like Paul Weiss that did make deals w/ Trump made deals to head off executive orders judges roundly ruled were unconstitutional and the admin ultimately gave up on defending. w/@Jonesieman nytimes.com/2026/03/02/us/…

The top @PostGuild donation to laid off workers is $10,000 from a donor named Dorothy Gilliam. If that's the Dorothy many of us are familiar with — who in 1961 was the first Black female reporter at The Washington Post — it's profoundly bittersweet: gofundme.com/f/standing-tog…

This is unacceptable. More than 40 rowing teams train on the Potomac year round. @dcwater @MDEnvironment

Navalny was most likely killed by a poison drawn from toxin found in a South American frog not natural to Russia, European governments conclude, debunking Moscow's story that he died in prison of natural causes. @lynseychutel @antontroian nytimes.com/2026/02/14/wor…

This is a huge loss for journalists and others who follow politics. @Gallup has been the top source for presidential approval since FDR and particularly valuable because of that historical context with apples-to-apples numbers that allow us to make comparisons and see patterns.

Being laid off from The Washington Post doesn’t erase the work or the responsibility to keep telling stories in a moment when they matter more than ever. I’ve built my career by showing up, digging in and putting people first. Reach me: ms.amber.ferguson@gmail.com

They done sent Anthony Davis to the Nights Watch 😔

Some of the most dedicated, smartest people I've ever had the pleasure of working beside need all of our support, and I hope you have enough kindness in your heart to help: gofund.me/2b198c9f6

Sling it, @AshleyRParker "Lewis, who has already earned a reputation for showing up late to work when he showed up at all, did not join the Zoom." theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

NEW from @nytimes: US intelligence analysts assess that Xi Jinping has a remarkable level of paranoia. This could help explain his persecution of China's top general, Zhang Youxia, and other purges. Some experts say Xi could be preparing to extend his rule for a fourth term.
