My look inside the court cases of accused noncitizen voters @AP: The GOP stoked fears of noncitizens voting. Cases in Ohio show how rhetoric and reality diverge apnews.com/article/noncitize…
Chris Quintana truly makes hay out of y'all's pitches in a way I have rarely seen:
What a tremendous privilege to celebrate @biancavtoness and @sharonlurye this week, and all of our amazing @AP colleagues honored for the top journalism and achievement of the year.

School day and school year are both two words for any day or year that school is in session, either virtually or in person.
Schoolwork and schoolteacher are each one word, no hyphen. However, terms such as grade school teacher or high school teacher are styled as separate words.
It's been a dream of mine to get a story like this into mainstream news outlets across the country. @ByMoriah answers the question every parent of toddlers and preschoolers asks: What should I look for in a high-quality preschool or child care center? apnews.com/article/best-pres…
What fabulous news! @s_garl is among the best in the business, and one of my favorite people on the beat

Hyphenate back-to-school as a compound modifier: back-to-school supplies, back-to-school clothes, back-to-school time.
But no hyphen is needed when it's used as a freestanding phrase: She went back to school.

Thank you @NABJ for this incredible honor for my From Birth to Death project, which examined how health inequities have impacted generations of Black Americans. This award is so special because NABJ honors work that centers Black communities. That was my goal & dream of this.
