NEW: "It’s been hell." "I’m dead inside." "I honestly don’t know if I will ever find work in the U.S. again, let alone D.C." "It’s akin to screaming into a void." What is going on with D.C.'s job market? Contributor Abi Newhouse investigated: 51st.news/job-hunting-doge-u…

"Screaming into a void": why the job market in D.C. is uniquely soul-crushing right now

She was tackled, held down and punched as the president of the United States called her “scum,” “low-class,” and “a fat guy.” No one has been charged. nytimes.com/2026/10/24/us/tr…

Noah Adams, a longtime host of NPR’s “All Things Considered” whose quiet baritone and empathetic ear brought listeners stories not often heard on U.S. airwaves, has died. He was 84. nyti.ms/4i6f8Kv

Noah Adams, Longtime Host of ‘All Things Considered,’ Has Died at 84

A postman’s son from Kentucky, he worked hard to lose his accent but never forgot his Appalachian roots. “The best stories come from west of the Potomac,” he said.

RIP Caryle Murphy, who reported from inside occupied Kuwait in 1990, hiding from Iraqi troops. She would roll a typewritten story into a tube, dress as a jogger, run past an embassy and throw the tube over the wall to get the story out. @amcovarrubias washingtonpost.com/obituarie…

Caryle Murphy, who won the Pulitzer Prize reporting from Kuwait, dies at 79

A longtime Washington Post reporter and correspondent, Ms. Murphy was one of the only Western journalists to stay in Kuwait after the Iraqi invasion in 1990.

The total amount spent by Rs on trans-themed ads in 2024 was around $215 million. By next month I bet that much has been spent on trans-themed ads in Texas alone. xitter.cf/caseyparks/status/1853…

In NC-11, GOP nominee Jennifer Balkcom is airing an almost entirely AI-generated ad hitting opponent Jamie Ager for hosting drag performers at his farm in 2019. No AI disclaimers on the ad, which features fake footage of Ager dancing with a drag queen.

I just learned Danny Saenz died earlier this week. May his memory be a blessing.
Dave Montgomery@daveymontgomery19 Feb 2019
Disabled Texans stage a protest in the Texas capitol rotunda to call for a pay raise for community attendants who care for them in their home. Danny Saenz, 59, shown foreground, says the current salary of $8 an hour is too low to keep qualified attendants.

I know a couple people who just burned out under the weight of being The Disability Reporter and left journalism. Technically I should think of other journalists covering disability as competition, but really we’re working on different parts of the same group project.

I *want* it to be a group project. I want people with different perspectives and political opinions. I want people to be able to take time off work or get sick or even leave and go do something else without it being a big deal.
