Some people swear by Jane Austen, other people swear by the Bible, but when I was stumbling, what picked me up and set me on my feet was Dahlia Lithwick, and her piece in @slate slate.com/news-and-polit…

My gratitude & thanks to all who showed support & indignation over NPR sacking me Tuesday in ā€œreorganizationā€; my work there will now continue at least until next year. Our fine SAG-AFTRA reps showed why union membership matters!

Out for a walk last weekend in DC’s Congressional Cemetery, I overheard a group of tourists as they searched for and found the grave of our late colleague Cokie Roberts, which can be found near the stones of many members of Congress.

This story was joy to put together, Alex Ford and I dug into Congressional start dates ( senate.gov/legislative/Da… ), which led to a necessary detour into the 20th Amendment ( constitution.congress.gov/constitution/a… )...
