@capitolwatch@davealtimari This piece rips my heart out. I lived it for 7yrs. It was a privilege of a lifetime to work alongside some of the best investigative journalists
Gratitude.
A simple "thank you!"
regenerates your body,
opens your mind,
fills your heart with love,
expands your soul.
Focus on
deliberately, actively
and intensely finding
even the smallest thing
to appreciate.
Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁

Show me a state with a better list than this. You can’t. #1 state. Plus the best pizza in the country 👍
Just to be clear I understand why UConn wants to join the Big 12 and it’s probably necessary.
That being said you are going to have to drag me along kicking and screaming.
We’re not going to find a “home” in the Big 12 like we had in the Big East.
I moved back to Connecticut about one month ago after a wonderful 12+ years in Los Angeles. Here are my observations from today’s illustrious return to the UConn Storrs campus… 🧵
We're hiring another Investigative Reporter!

Look, if it's not obvious, the reason @mtaibbi@bariweiss and I can succeed as independent reporters is that we are all exceptional newshounds (in somewhat different ways not worth explaining here).
Trying to badmouth or ignore us does not stop us, it just fuels us...
