Breaking News: Joan Didion has died at age 87. Her sharp dispatches on California and tough, terse novels forged a distinct new voice in American writing. nyti.ms/3yV6aHR

LIES I’VE TOLD MY THERAPIST: 93% of the 41M adults in therapy lie. I thought coming clean would fix things. Instead, the truth nearly ruined it all. It took a hurricane, 48 hrs in Hong Kong + a shaman in Mexico to see the worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves. #PitMad #A #Mem

Can you imagine a world without books, movies, poetry, and art? The world needs more storytellers, dreamers, change-makers and action-takers to create connections in a time when we need it most. We are thankful for your contribution to 1455 in any amount: buff.ly/3ro2o7V

Faris Nunn, 8, was sitting by third base in Nationals Park with her family when shots rang out: “It was my second shooting. So I was kind of prepared ... I always am expecting something to happen.” We don’t have to live like this. Text ACT to 644-33.

1973 CBS News report on Joe Biden being sworn in as a senator at his children's bedside telling reporters he'd resign if he didn't think he could be a good dad and senator: "We can always get another senator, but they can't get another father."

cc: education reporters in every one of these members’ districts—curious if public schools there require/use metal detectors or wands on students... See @MEPFuller for full list – at Washington, DC
Replying to @yashar
2. GOP members of Congress continue to disregard the Capitol police and push through in order to avoid going through metal detectors. Follow @MEPFuller for updates.

People experience genuine pleasure—a rush of dopamine—when processing information that supports their beliefs. “It feels good to ‘stick to our guns’ even if we are wrong,” researchers say. nyer.cm/Uh1Hi05

1/ We want to acknowledge the distress and trauma many in our U.S. community — especially journalists of color — are experiencing following the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

...for those saying the police did nothing yesterday. Not entirely true : they arrested Washington Post journalists for filming protests
With @wleaming, still rolling the camera while we were being arrested for filming protests outside the Capitol.

Traumatic events never feel fully real when I’m covering them. At home in the shower this morning it started to sink in: unhinged people attacked my workplace, my second home, because the President told them to. My God.

Journalists are trained to put their heads down + set their feelings aside. It’s a pre-requisite for the job. But I truly hope they all get to take a necessary beat + deal with yet another trauma they’ve suffered at hands of the ~actual~ government of the United States. – at Washington, DC
It's been a day of putting my head down, setting my feelings aside and doing my job trying to document everything we saw But I need to take a moment to reflect on what has happed here at the U.S. Capitol, a place I've been privileged to cover on and off for over a decade (1/)
