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.

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…
