This story was joy to put together, @alex_andra_ford and I dug into Congressional start dates ( https://t.co/vIVcsch3YI ), which led to a necessary detour into the 20th Amendment ( https://t.co/PIeHDvWBdq )...

Out for a walk last weekend in DC’s Congressional Cemetery, I overheard a group of tourists as they searched for and found the grave of our late colleague Cokie Roberts, which can be found near the stones of many members of Congress.

Today, we have released all seven episodes of "Canary: The Washington Post Investigates." It's our newsroom's first long-form investigative podcast. And I wanted to share a few details about how this story - three years in the making- came to light. https://t.co/cF3caXo4hA

@AdamBouhmad Hey Adam, I'm a policy student/fellow Baltimorean doing a project on internet access disparity and recently discovered Waves Mesh. I had a quick question - for the network itself are you relying on Comcast as an ISP or using another provider?
