Hey, 👋! I'm a journalist, & I cover US national affairs, a hybrid of politics & current events. I specialize in long-form features in the 10,000-word neighborhood.

Here's my most recent story, on the woman who owned the abortion clinic in the Dobbs SCOTUS case: alabamareflector.com/2024/06/24/f....
From Roe to Dobbs and Beyond: Diane Derzis' lifetime in abortion care • Alabama Reflector
Diane Derzis began working in abortion care a few years after Roe. Her clinic was at the center of a devastating U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

Apropos of what just happened: #SMU and #Cal should never be a conference game in any college sport. Conferences should be geographic, not money grabs.

I'm a big sports fan. I understand the importance of coaching changes in college sports & that part of ESPN is a journalism outlet that covers major sports news, but it's hilarious — and downright stupid — how a coaching change can be covered like it's a new major White House policy rollout.

"Data released Sat. showed that shoppers seized on #Thanksgiving & #BlackFriday deals, spending significantly more than last year online & slightly more in stores, though they grew more selective about what they put in their carts."

Nobody should EVER even CONSIDER watching or listening or supporting this horrible person. What he did was wrong and inexcusable. He doesn't deserve a second chance.
Louis C.K. isn’t too cancelled to perform several sold-out shows of his new comedy show at the Beacon, but cancelled enough that, if you manage to snag a ticket, you might not want to brag about it to your co-workers.

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Trump can't close a sovereign country's airspace. Nor did he specify details.
