Under the Constitution, the House tweets. If the Senate retweets, it goes to the President, who favs it into law.

Hire Brittany!
Some news for '26: Last month was my final at @ABC. Grateful for the fantastic career highlights & a lot of fun along the way.
I'm now sorting out what's next -- if you’re hiring or know someone who is, send them my way. [email protected]

It was my turn in the My First Byline barrel with @RyanBeckwith. My story of scamming my way into a job at The Boston Globe will not make me popular.

A trip to Washington, DC for consumer tech (and tech) meant visiting three people: Walt Mossberg, Steve Wildstrom and Rob Pegoraro. As a Detroiter, I loved that Walt and Steve had that connection as well and while waiting, we could discuss the city.
From Rob's LinkedIn post, I found @ryanbeckwith's "Your First Byline" and been keeping it open (and subscribed) because as a PR person, I like to know what makes a journalist tick and as a human who likes stories, I just like knowing stories.

Pretty sad that @Gannett @USATODAY network papers across the country are clickbaiting the mythical @DOGE
“dividend check” sham — as scammers are using it as a pretext to defraud the gullible.
Here’s a great debunk from @ryanbeckwith

Thanks @ryanbeckwith for asking me to write about my first byline!
It was fun to revisit the story I did with @dannydoodar on NYC’s horse carriages over a decade ago for @WNYC.

I got to talk about why I’m so fond of the Dat Boi cycling frog meme, which goes back to my first internship at the Albany @timesunion. Thank you to @ryanbeckwith for having me on!

NEW: A DOGE staffer appears to be posting DOGE work on his public GitHub, as of this week. The staffer, Jordan Wick, also created a repository for a Twitter DM-downloading tool just 3 days ago. He posted work on geospatial data in Jan—undersea cables, ports & “critical minerals.”

Here’s some advice I wish I had been given when I first started traveling for stories. I hope it comes in handy for other reporters out there. Did I miss anything? (Also Thanks for pulling this together, @ryanbeckwith!) yourfirstbyline.substack.com…
