My new National Geographic just arrived, which includes my latest feature—my 16th, and my last as a senior writer. NatGeo is laying off all of its staff writers. I’ve been so lucky. I got to work w/incredible journalists and tell important, global stories. It’s been an honor.

I’m glad Joe Kent accepted his loss, and I look forward to serving as Southwest Washington's independent voice in Congress. Democracy is alive and well in our corner of the country.

Any Black person who thinks there is a loophole to avoid paying the respectability tax is delusional. Recognizing that doesn’t make you any less Black. It makes you realistic. wapo.st/3uCkByA

It’s abysmal that the minimum wage is $7.25/hour. It’s even more abysmal that we can’t find 60 Senators who agree with that sentiment.

I wonder if Trump's note to Biden in the Resolute Desk actually mentions Biden's name. Maybe it's just headed "To Whom It May Concern."
