Michelle is an amazing reporter and even better person. Please consider hiring her.
A couple years ago, I wrote this story about protecting your mental health during layoffs: seattletimes.com/seattle-new…
Today, I’ll be re-reading it after I was included in the layoffs at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Please feel free to connect if you have job leads or advice. ❤️

U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick was peppered with boos and catcalls throughout a town hall meeting in Roswell late Thursday, as hundreds of critics jeered the Republican for backing President Donald Trump’s agenda during his first month in office. #gapol ajc.com/politics/mccormick-c…

I wrote about what might have led to the cancellation of GPB’s Political Rewind and ouster of Bill Nigut & what it means for Georgians: We will be deprived of a bastion of civility and informed discussion ahead of a race for the White House that could hinge on our state. #gapol – at Atlanta, GA

A sad day for Georgians: Bill Nigut says GPB’s Political Rewind (@PoliticsGPB) has been canceled as of June 30, apparently due to budget cuts. For the last nine years, the show has been a home for voters who demand a civil, respectable place to discuss politics & policy. #gapol

Jimmy Carter targeted diseases primarily affecting the poor in remote areas — notably "Guinea worm disease." That commitment led cases to plummet from 3.6 million a year to just 13 in 2022. n.pr/3EA8jNb

My takeaway from Sunday’s riots in Brazil:
Latin American democracies have long been threatened by strongman rulers and militaries hungry for power.
Brazil, however, faces a more insidious, deeply rooted threat: mass delusion.

There it is — Bolsonaro endorses his party’s challenge of the October 30 election he lost to Lula. It won’t succeed, but things could still get rocky in coming weeks as pro-Bolsonaro protests continue & some in his party push for radical next steps (more)

Fraud claims are flying around Brazil's election -- and they're suddenly being fueled by a report from Brazil's military.
Experts say the report is technically sound. How it's being interpreted is not.
My story lays it out. But I'll explain the basics 🧵

Em pronunciamento, presidente Bolsonaro ignora resultado da eleição e não admite derrota. Ataca a esquerda e a Justiça. Manda o ministro Ciro Nogueira anunciar que terá início processo de transição.
