1 in 4 Americans were born after the 9/11 attacks, a figure that's projected to double in the next two decades. As we approach 21 years since the attacks, how do Americans feel? A More in Common/Your Government study examined just that. My latest for WTOP: wtop.com/national/2022/…

My first solo-produced show, out in the world (and on your airwaves📻)! Huge thanks to my amazing 1A team for all your support.

Great panel, Lauren! And loved David Gura’s questions to docs about what parents really need to look out for - and when they can worry less.

This morning, WAMU 88.5 management informed us they are laying off 15 vital people from our organization. These individuals are the lifeblood of our journalism. Our hearts are broken. We can’t believe we are losing our colleagues and friends.

If you believe in the power of local journalism to hold the government accountable, to bring levity to your day, or to tell you something new about the region you love, please consider emailing [email protected] to save DCist. We rely on readers and listeners like you.

I’m heartbroken for my colleagues and the audience that relies on our local news coverage. This steady loss of local coverage is devastating for communities and our democracy.
