Some personal news: After 12 years at USA TODAY, I am moving on to a new adventure at BBC News, where I will be a senior editor @BBCNorthAmerica! In the meantime, learning to add unnecessary vowels again, for our neighbours across the pond...

President Donald Trump to the BBC's @BBCsarahsmith this morning: "The other side is dying to make a deal," he said. "So whatever I'm saying or whatever I'm doing, 
it seems to be working very well."

In contrast to police accounts, volunteer medics say they treated serious wounds at UCLA’s pro-Palestinian protest when authorities swept the site. LAPD and CHP are now investigating.

Glad to see a number of people are interested in the information I posted that subscribing to USA Today will get you access to all of Gannett's dailies. Let me add that it's not exactly intuitive, so if you're having trouble, drop me a line and I'll explain where it is.

Really excited about @Gannett's latest fellowship program: the statehouse reporting fellowship. We're adding fellows across the country to serve audiences with local, regional, and national election journalism. These are paid, full-time, benefits-eligible roles. 1/5
