NPR is a place full of wonderful, talented people. Brandon is one of the best — innovative, empathetic, driven, always kind, always an ally. I’m so glad we got to work together over the last few years and that I get to call him a friend. WaPo is getting a good one.
being That Guy...some professional news to share:
i'm thrilled to be heading to

My full statement on the recent inaccurate Twitter label below:
It’s been such a joy to wake up to the lovely
@rachelnpr
for so many mornings, and to get to call her a colleague and friend. Change IS good, and I can’t wait to hear and see what’s in store.
Change is good and necessary. And I’m making one. It's been the honor of a lifetime to host Morning Edition for the past 6 years. A lot of stuff went down in this country during that time and it’s been a privilege to do my part to help you make sense of all of it.
🧵Louder Than A Riot has been cancelled by NPR. Our producers and editor have been laid off, although NPR would like everyone to stay on until June to finish publishing the show. We are taking some time to process what this looks like for our staff. 1/4

When I talked to

about their new book, 'We Deserve Monuments,' they told me: " I jokingly call my book, like, Gilmore Girls, but make it black and gay, just like in relationship to the women in the story." That, and more on

Are you a competitive *and* collaborative reporter who's prepared to become obsessed with the U.S. Senate?
Would you tolerate an editor who makes far too many memes & pop-culture references and once worked this same beat?
If both answers are yes:
As a former DCist contributor and current NPR host, this is deeply heartbreaking. DCist has been a vital source of news for our communities. Friends affected, I'm here if I can help in any way.
This morning,
@wamu885
management informed us they are laying off 15 vital people from our organization. These individuals are the lifeblood of our journalism. Our hearts are broken. We can’t believe we are losing our colleagues and friends.
