I said goodbye to Catsby yesterday. His health had been declining and it was time. I don’t know much about his life before I brought him inside from my building’s parking lot, but I made sure he was safe and loved in the six years he was with me. I’ll miss him every day.

@campadrenews @PolitiFact Thanks, man!

[Andy Truc Nguyen @Andy_Truc]

Happy to say that I’m joining @PolitiFact full time next year as a digital research analyst. I’ll still be fact checking, as well as looking into news and misinformation trends. Grateful for the opportunity and ready to hit the ground running in 2025.

Please enjoy these pictures of my cat in the meantime

Unfortunately, I don't have any more detail beyond that.
