[Diamy Wang @diamywang]

Some (double) personal news: I’ll be joining @theobserver next week as a summer metro reporting intern! And in August, I’ll be joining @hearstcmg as a @Hearst Journalism Fellow for my first yearlong rotation. Incredibly excited for all that’s to come!

Rep. Randy Feenstra lost the GOP primary for Iowa governor, a shocking upset after he earned President Donald Trump’s last-minute endorsement.

Feenstra, who was narrowly defeated by rival Zach Lann, conceded and called to congratulate him before results were official. @sambbenson

Invasive Callery pear trees, once prized for pretty blooms, crowding out natives https://t.co/5popVypm9P

[Jerry Wu @Jerrwu]

You’ve probably smelled this tree before you knew its name.

I wrote about the spread of invasive Callery pear trees — famous for their snowy white blooms and unmistakably foul odor — around Chicago. Latest for the @chicagotribune. https://t.co/kNgbJzORaj

The win marks the newspaper’s 29th Pulitzer Prize in its 179-year history. The Tribune was last awarded the prize for local news in 2022 for “Failures before the Fires,” an investigation that exposed the city’s history of failed code enforcement. https://t.co/3iutTEAyum
