in 2021, we launched a custom poll with Morning Consult and reported how AAPI voters were thinking about politics post-Trump and with the rise in violence.

today, the project won an excellence award at #AAJA22. cc @politico @PeterCanellos @beatricezjin

The FDA first received a report of a foodborne illness suspected to be linked to infant formula in September — 4 months before issuing a recall this week after four babies were hospitalized and one died, according to a state agency.

[Carrie Budoff Brown @cbudoffbrown]

I would remiss as @politico editor to not call out the @nytimes for failing to credit the work of @adamcancryn and @ddiamond, who single-handedly broke open the story on Seema Verma with multiple exclusives over the past year. 1/7

[Carrie Budoff Brown @cbudoffbrown]

There are many more examples. What I love most: This team is comprised of hard-working beat reporters who wire the agencies they cover. They have punched above their weight for years — and held government to account in the process. They deserve recognition for that record. 7/7

Recent deaths of chess commentator Shelby Lyman & grandmaster Pal Benko draw the curtain on the Bobby Fischer era in chess, a time when the U.S. wrenched the title from Soviet Union. At top levels, the game's freshness and creativity has withered since. https://t.co/Kx3WEYb5Cv

@realcpaz Great job,Christian!
