“Her five-day stint means that she didn't last half the 11 days Anthony Scaramucci worked as White House communications director during Trump's first term before he was fired” with @joeygarrison @fran_chambers @ganjansen

White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia told me she didn't pass the bar exam, but was advised it's acceptable to call herself a lawyer because she has a law degree. Some legal experts disagree, saying its inappropriate and unethical.

Confused about when my dog had time to author an entire study.
A surprising new study finds that people who sleep near their dogs don’t experience disrupted sleep. If anything, the University of Toronto researchers discovered, we humans are the ones disturbing our dogs’ sleep. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

THREE Senate ratings changes today at @CookPolitical:
#KSSen: Lean R to Toss Up
#NCSen: Lean D to Likely D
#NHSen: Toss Up to Lean D
We now estimate Democrats will pick up between two and six seats -- squarely within the range of four seats they need.

Some more news about me: I started a new job this week at @USATODAY, as a senior politics editor focusing on the White House and Congress.
I've spent the past few days getting to know a really talented team and I'm so excited to dig in.
Some news about me: Friday was my last day at @thehill!
It’s definitely bittersweet because I’ve gotten to spend the past 7+ years covering some wild times in the Capitol and beyond with the best journalists - and people - I could have ever hoped to work with. (1/)
I’m deeply grateful to @iswanTheHill and @katiewadington; all my fellow editors, past and present; and a newsroom full of dedicated reporters. But especially thankful to have been able to work with such a stellar Congress team. (2/)

New: GOP senators are growing tired of the White House throwing curveballs into their plans.
“We get things on the track, and then you know, somebody throws something off, puts a penny on the track, and derails the train,” one told me.
