Thank you @MrDanZak and @sundaylongread “Disorientation is a side effect of grappling with reality and one’s place in it. The best kind of journalism disorients, then orients. It shows you what you’ve missed, misunderstood or ignored, then sends you in a truer direction. 1/2

Amy Acton’s message — that kindness shouldn’t be mistaken for weakness — was evident every time she spoke, and so many in Ohio have missed her soothing strength. I’m so glad to hear her voice again through the words of @williams_paige. Her lived message is the tonic we all need.

Thanks for the invitation and for the extremely insightful questions. It means the world to the families that these stories continue to be told.

Thanks tons to Jeff Owen for including Final Salute as a required text in his Troy (Ohio) High School sophomore English class. Thanks even more for inviting me to meet the students in person. His students weren’t born when the wars started, but they will keep the stories alive.

All of us — including the president — have plenty to learn from the Marines and families who let us into their lives https://t.co/avzEstO81h

mr president,

i've been a journalist 50 yrs. Never met one who didn't love USA.
Many risk their lives reporting on US values.
Cheap shot

Lady just yelled "fake news" at me from her car. I'll try not to let my bias get in the way for this story about a gator crossing a street.

My students spent months at the oldest African-American nursing home, funded almost entirely by Medicaid. https://t.co/RSdxzJi0ZD https://t.co/xlUCIZmSch

Ohio nursing homes fear losing $800 million in Medicaid funding in healthcare bill.
