If there's room on your team for an award-winning reporter/editor who's covered local and federal government for 10+ years, give me a shout. I'd love to continue covering the military but am open to other opportunities. There's so much to say but I'll stop here for now. (2/2)

one cool thing i've learned working in news for 10+ years: the awards/honors/promotions are always nice but nothing tops the feeling of someone saying they needed the article/product/resource you made and now they have it. those moments make this chaotic job so worth it

Hoping that @Monster does the right thing here, after what we saw with Sightline, I'd like to feel good about where I'm getting news from. Military.Com has been responsible for significant amounts of reporting that has had direct impacts on Soldiers.

We, the overwhelming majority of @Militarydotcom staff, have filed to form a union with the @WBNG32035 We seek voluntary recognition of our union from our corporate owner @Monster

The observant among you may have noticed that you've started to see some bylines from @rachelkaras at @Militarydotcom - she's helping us out for a stretch and I'm deeply appreciative of the chance to work together and her contributions to the reporting team.

Walz can quickly demonstrate his midwestern bona fides by driving straight from Minneapolis to DC



Do we think @petridishes will simply bring back the America's Stepdad piece but change "Kaine" to "Walz"
