When I was starting out covering Congress, I knew less than nothing. Laura welcomed my questions, answered them, asked me about my family, my trips, my dog, eventually my kids. She is the best of what Capitol Hill can be. I will never forget her just immense kindness to me.
Vividly remember on Jan 6 the moment Laura Lytle yelled “What about us?” down to the Capitol Police who were rushing the senators off the floor. She and staff helped make sure reporters got evacuated alongside senators. V grateful to her and the team. buff.ly/hdbBRar

My latest story @BostonGlobe goes behind Mass Daily News, a right-wing and, until now, anonymous site run by a software engineer with AI-generated posts. It's helped fuel viral media cycles targeting Wu and other progressives, often without key context. bostonglobe.com/2026/10/10/b…

Hard to miss the tone of Judge Laplante's latest order in the lawsuit challenging New Hampshire's restrictions on student IDs as voter IDs. Here he calls out the state's legal team for trying to take a procedural shortcut. But there's more...

You actually have to go back to Paolino in 1984 to find a primary winner with more votes than Morales got this year. Morales was born in 1998.
Interesting note on Providence mayor: David Morales got more votes in the Democratic primary than any Democrat this century, including Cicilline in 2002 and 2006, Taveras in 2010, Elorza in 2014 and 2018, and Smiley in 2022 and 2026.
