Please congratulate @godovasquez on this honor. More importantly, if you can, help him out a little. As you can imagine, money gets tight after a layoff and the bills don’t stop. Thank you!

I loved being a reporter with the AP. I’ve lost track of how many stories I’ve covered over the years. Enron. The space shuttle Columbia disaster. The horrible disaster that was Hurricane Harvey as well as too many other hurricanes and floods. Too many mass shootings. (2/7)

Another hall of fame class of journalists is leaving @AP — this one involuntarily via layoffs. Reporters in big cities and state capitols. People who’ve broken some of the biggest stories of our time and improved the public’s understanding of important issues. It’s heartbreaking.
