Breaking news: The Pentagon is moving to recruit hundreds of troops to appear as spectators at President Trump’s UFC cage-fighting event on the White House lawn, and requiring those who attend to pay their own way and meet height and weight requirements. https://t.co/zOSM2ac8Kk

Breaking news: Trump administration officials have pressed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years. https://t.co/S8sqdKSB7i

I’ve got another opening on my team! Come work for the Washington Post as a Political Enterprise Reporter. We're looking for an “investigative-minded reporter to cover politics, someone who can report authoritatively and write the definitive stories of our political era.” 1/4

First look at clear images of officer shooting at the presidents would-be assassin in the @washingtonpost .

A central question: Did Allen fire? If so when?

Public records appear to show the most prominent member of Vance’s closest circle with connections to Orbans Hungary is Chris Buskirk, head of the Rockbridge Network, the secretive fundraising credited with helping fuel Vance’s rise to the vice presidency https://t.co/QJLYTKIgRV

@JakeShindel 3.5 hour line at #bwi this morning. Got here at 5:30 am for a flight at 9, made it but barely. Lots of empty seats.

NEW for @newlinesmag, @ChrisOsieck and I investigated a March 5 air strike on an EMS base and recreational
area in Zibashahr Park, Shiraz. 20 people were reportedly killed, including 3 medical workers.

A review of post-strike videos and images, along with satellite imagery and mapping data, shows that this civilian park was directly hit, raising questions about whether the incident was a case of mistaken targeting.

Knowing about the world is not a luxury. It is a necessity. After layoffs at @washingtonpost now AFP wants to reduce expatriate positions by 2/3. Don’t be surprised: Soon activists and lobbyists, living comfortably in the West, will replace foreign correspondents reporting from crisis regions. It’s already happening.

Picked up my notebook this morning — full of notes from a recent reporting trip — and got hit with another wave of grief over all the stories that now won't be told. I'm looking for work, preferably in Kyiv, should anyone need a dogged, empathetic reporter. DM/email.

1) What

“All schools are ready and we want our students to come back…however we are still closed to students.”?!? Then open up the schools!

[Eric Rich @ericrich]

Absolutely bewildering that @MCPS is closing schools tomorrow, eight days after the storm. Hard to see this as anything but a failure on multiple levels of government. Kids need to be in school.

Notable from the NTSB chair today. While no one at the FAA did this work, the Washington Post did. Days after the crash, ⁦@byaaroncdavis⁩ ⁦@Blaskey_S⁩ and ⁦@abtran⁩ calculated the space between an approach to 33 and route 4 — key to gauging risk at our airport.

The @WaysandMeansGOP held a hearing on the impact of rising health care costs on patients and families. 

We have to have serious reform of health insurers, pharmacy benefit managers, and their subsidiaries to reduce the cost of healthcare.
