Not only is Ginny one of the best reporters I've ever met, but she also tirelessly leads the CT Mirror's intern program, making time and space for early-career journalists (including myself) to thrive! There's no one I know who deserves this more.

Kalshi’s new DC ads have sparked memes and a war of words with @Polymarket.

Polymarket accused it of “misinforming” the public.
Kalshi’s response: “That’s laughable.”

Meta's $45 million super PAC lost 3/4 of the Illinois state legislature races it spent in last night.

Meta spent $750,000 across four state races in Illinois and their only chosen candidate who won was Paul Kendrick in IL-HD-12.

My colleague @EricM_Katz and I went through all 23 hours of DOGE depositions that've been going viral.

Within them, we found a clearer picture of DOGE's disjointed reporting structure, its chaotic processes + the zealous pressure campaign it unleashed on agencies.

Crypto and AI have built a war chest of hundreds of millions for 2026, warning candidates to support them or face an overwhelming wave of cash. Until Illinois yesterday, Crypto's money had won in every race it spent in. Read more: https://t.co/ZSKWchphKh w @birnbaum_e
