Personal news: Today was the final edition of The Climate 202 newsletter at The Washington Post.

I'm excited to share my next steps soon. In the meantime, I'm endlessly grateful to everyone who made the newsletter shine over the last 2+ years. 🧵

This is the worst.
Dave has been my editor on The Early newsletter since I started 20 months ago.
He's a phenomenal editor - knows politics better than most, knows Congress, and realized that SCOTUS is a multifaceted beat.
He's unflappable, hilarious and will be SO missed.

Our 24-hour strike has begun.

For the first time in 50 years, The Washington Post workers are walking off the job because our company is refusing to bargain in good faith and breaking the law.
