Even as Tanner Martin faced cancer that would cut his young adulthood short, he and his wife lived life with joy. Read this piece by @arianaeunjung @jaheezus @dtkeating and @DreaCornejo now that Shay, their baby girl, and other family members must move on. https://t.co/kjMBhzvaJx

One of Trump’s IG picks is a former GOP Rep. accused of putting his mistress + fiancée’s daughter on the payroll. Another is a GOP lawyer once accused of mishandling taxpayers’ $. A 3rd advised the secretary she’d be a watchdog of. Past IGs have concerns. https://t.co/T16w3Hk8UL

And no county voted for the losing candidate the last three elections. None for -- and I could not believe this -- none for two losers in a row!

Then it hit me -- not a single county voted for Trump in 2020 and then Harris in 2024. Not a single one. So no streak of 2 losers.

Popping the bubble of thinking county voting streaks offer meaningful prediction, I wrote this https://t.co/nP6AM3CVQp but ...

[D Keating @dtkeating]

No. No county has voted for the losing candidate in the last seven presidential elections. Nor the last six. Nor the last five. Now I thought my calculations were wrong, so I calculated it a different way. Still none for the last five or the last four. ...

So many smart stories in @washingtonpost today about the historic Harris-Trump debate last night.

One feature you may enjoy as much as I did as a reader -- a graphic illustration and chat focused on The Deciders. The reaction from voters who haven't entirely decided on their candidate yet.

Nearly a year go, wildfires tore through Lahaina. Now, a growing group wants to rebuild the town with its historic wetlands in the center. Water is central to life on Maui, read about the ambitious effort to restore the Venice of the Pacific.

Looking back on the year, my favorite story (really of my career) is this gem with @ddiamond @dtkeating -- a good day to give it a read if you haven't!

The Post surveyed all 100 senators about America’s decline in life expectancy. Fewer than half acknowledged that it was a problem. By @ddiamond.
