To those in the press box not making these comments but still standing by: hold those who are making the space uncomfortable accountable. It’s unacceptable that a young journalist has to endure this while doing work. Change the toxicity of these press rooms and instill respect.

I got a couple condescending comments both in the press box and at the presser (I got one comment assuming I was texting during the presser) and I'm not gonna lie, it kinda sucks. I'm doing my job like everyone else. That happens when you're one of maybe three female reporters

Not all EVs are expensive. Americans just want big cars. Big cars mean big batteries — and that's $$$. via @businessinsider

Americans love to buy more car than they need. It's making electric cars more expensive.

US car buyers love SUVs and pickup trucks. But if they want to go electric, they'll have to pay for it, at least in the near term.

Feeling a lot for those who can’t see family this season. Dec. 25 is always 3 of us (& I’m very lucky). It’s for a few reasons, estrangement from one side being one. So I really hope the widespread empathy we see for those isolated this year continues even well beyond COVID.
