Today is my last day @politico after nearly 5 years, and I’m so grateful for all the incredible opportunities. I’ll be taking a little detour and pursuing my J.D. at Stanford Law School. I’ll also be writing freelance so if you need a West Coast legal contributor, let me know!

There’s way too many colleagues (past and present) to name who have made my writing better, made me a better reporter, and taught me so much. They’ve also just made the whole thing a lot of fun. Thank you to the sources who have allowed me to tell all the stories over the years.

I want to give a brief shoutout to the late Blake Hounshell who took a chance offering a 23-year-old a gig covering money and politics on the White House team. For that, I’ll be forever grateful.

New: Key House caucus leaders are targeting SCOTUS and the Senate filibuster in a new resolution. The CPC, CBC, CHC and CAPAC chairs are all leading. It's the latest indicator of how the CBC wants to respond to Callais and lays down a marker for progressives as they seek to influence the Dem agenda. politico.com/live-updates/20…

GOP hard-liners in Congress are frustrated their leaders don’t seem to share their commitment to enacting anti-transgender laws. "It just amazes me that they aren't listening on this issue," Sen. Josh Hawley told me. politico.com/news/2026/06/01…

Republicans run short on chances to limit trans rights before midterms
