Our producer @Halisia was evacuated from the Boulder 2700 Fire this weekend. Her harrowing account is a chilling reminder of what we stand to lose…and how quickly it can be lost. Read it here:

Grateful to have gone through this TWO YEAR campaign with such a great crew. @asmamk @benswasey & @NPRnie covering the Biden campaign, plus everyone at the podcast and @nprpolitics. We've hardly seen each other in months and I can't wait to all be together again.

Reporter Hart Van Denburg tells @nprmichel of a pro-Trump gathering in Colorado Springs. Many people believe the false claim of a stolen election. "They are certainly yelling," and "one or two people are openly carrying firearms," but it is a "largely peaceful" gathering. @NPR

Journalists don’t sit down with senior officials to score political points. We do it in the service of asking tough questions, on behalf of our fellow citizens. And then sharing the answers—or lack thereof—with the world. My take for @NYT: nyti.ms/36yRv5n

Without giving evidence, @SecPompeo accused @NPRKelly of lying to him — "twice." "Let me just say this: we will not be intimidated," NPR President and CEO John Lansing told @npratc. "Mary Louise Kelly won't be intimidated, and NPR won't be intimidated." trib.al/fWEjDRD

The Trump administration says it will allow just 18,000 refugees into the US in the coming year, down from a target of 30,000 this year and 110,000 in the last year of the Obama administration.
