It's a thrill to have my debut story in the @nytimes this morning, on Angela Merkel's official portrait -- serious, subdued, and micromanaged by Merkel herself -- and what its reception says about her legacy.

Instead of votes that could determine the trajectory of the country, D.C. residents are weighing a ban on foie gras.
Backers say it’s cruel to force-feed ducks and geese to enlarge their livers, while fans say the dish is no more fraught than other meats. wapo.st/4iAg49a

ICE detained the baseball coach at D.C.'s Alice Deal Middle School over what his family said was a decades old paperwork error. ICE says it's more than that and his students are trying to figure out how to help. via @lbowman_98 @aangieoh

Attorney General Todd Blanche has been very busy in the run up to the midterm elections, stumping on the campaign trail and cannonballing into the types of politically fraught cases the Justice Department typically stays away from right before an election

Big news – I've got a new beat!
Hanging up my hat (for now) as a @postlocal reporter to dig into criminal justice policy issues all over the country.
What's going on in your state? Your town? Your backyard? I'm all ears.

NEW: The special grand jury that Pirro convened is investigating the city's oversight of youth and DC public schools. In recent days, prosecutors have reached out to teachers, questioning them about truancy and graduation rates.

Pirro has tied truancy rates to recent “teen takeovers" and has repeatedly criticized DC officials as too lax on youth crime.
But a A federal probe into what appears to be a city’s day-to-day governance is rare. B/c DC is not a state, the feds have unique oversight over DC
