I want to give a brief shoutout to the late Blake Hounshell who took a chance offering a 23-year-old a gig covering money and politics on the White House team. For that, I’ll be forever grateful.
Today is my last day @politico after nearly 5 years, and I’m so grateful for all the incredible opportunities.
I’ll be taking a little detour and pursuing my J.D. at Stanford Law School. I’ll also be writing freelance so if you need a West Coast legal contributor, let me know!
There’s way too many colleagues (past and present) to name who have made my writing better, made me a better reporter, and taught me so much. They’ve also just made the whole thing a lot of fun.
Thank you to the sources who have allowed me to tell all the stories over the years.

Ahead of a big July markup on AI and kids online safety, all eyes are on Sen Cruz on how he plans to legislate on the complex issues. He's pledged to take up bipartisan bills but ranking member Cantwell & others are still trying to figure out his plans https://t.co/4fLSfl5h1S
New: Key House caucus leaders are targeting SCOTUS and the Senate filibuster in a new resolution.
The CPC, CBC, CHC and CAPAC chairs are all leading.
It's the latest indicator of how the CBC wants to respond to Callais and lays down a marker for progressives as they seek to influence the Dem agenda.

NEW w/ @Hailey_Fuchs:
Todd Blanche is mounting a charm offensive with Republican senators as his nomination as attorney general inches forward. So far, he seems to be saying the right things.

GOP hard-liners in Congress are frustrated their leaders don’t seem to share their commitment to enacting anti-transgender laws.
