I want to cover what's coming in the deepest and best way I could. So — I'm starting a publication!
It's called Public Reason, and it's dedicated to covering what I see as the heart of the crisis of American and global democracy: a revolution in ideas. public-reason.com/

The media didn't dodge the Biden age story: The biggest papers in the country published lengthy stories. The public wasn't in the dark about it, either. But questions about Biden's fitness for office were not emphasized as much as they should have been. vox.com/politics/358877/bide…

This is the most important story I've reported in my career.
First-of-its-kind evidence of a sustained campaign to harass, threaten, and even harm American citizens — conducted by an alleged American ally.

I wrote about the child care industry collapse that never happened and the fact that more moms are working today than any time on record.
We don’t need to rely on disaster econ predictions to champion better family policy!

New Vox piece I'm excited to share:
I wrote about the success of new publicly-owned housing built recently in Montgomery County, MD that has inspired cities like Atlanta, Boston, Chicago to follow suit. HUD + @FurmanCenterNYU also exploring the model.

NEW: The Supreme Court announced today it will hear a major case on homelessness, the biggest one to reach SCOTUS in decades.
The case is Grants Pass v. Johnson. I wrote about what it could mean for unhoused people & cities' response to tent encampments

,@Alex_Roarty with the inaugural bylined story on the new NOTUS newsroom:
How dim it looks for Biden in GA — and with a potential pivot to NC notus.org/newsletter/georgia…

I wrote a essay about the grim way being a mom in America is depicted today, and how women weighing parenthood struggle to absorb all these chilling warnings, statistics, and cautionary tales.
It’s an essay about dread, but also hope and maybe change.

Libby is awesome should be riding high after this well-deserved promotion, to it's my responsibility to tell everyone about the time she walked full-on into a gigantic filing cabinet at the end of her interview to be EIC of our high school paper. (she got the job.)

If a person sleeping outside turns down a shelter bed, what should be done?
for @voxdotcom I looked at how pressure to clear tent encampments has entangled with national debates about forced treatment and the “Housing First” approach to homelessness

In which I DESTROY* @jonathanchait for suggesting maybe a Democrat should primary Biden.
