It took me 12 years, but I finally wheedled my way into a federal prison for a long sit-down interview with Fat Leonard. The big man had some secrets to tell.

Here’s the @washingtonpost story I wrote about Biden brain surgeries. I am posting this because Vance said @joerogan podcast he didn’t know about this because of a “constrained” media. In fact we wrote about Biden and Trump health. wapo.st/4wGixnF

What a nice surprise to see my series about Thomas Jefferson on the @washingtonpost home page and that it’s among the most read. This originally published in November as part of a seven part series (my last day at the Post was April 30). Edited by the late great @DanEggenDC

It’s impossible to fill @PostKranish’s shoes, but we’ll try. This person will be asked to write agenda-setting profiles of major political figures, with a focus on vetting backgrounds to unearth scoops and write rich narratives. 2/4

Dan was my editor at @washingtonpost for the last year. A mentor, brother in journalism and great editor. Thank you for making every day and story better. You are missed. Dan Eggen, who shaped politics coverage at The Post, dies at 60 washingtonpost.com/obituarie…

Please read @PostKranish’s final piece as he retires after an amazing run.
As he always did, this piece is definitive in explaining how Washington used to work and how problems today won’t be resolved without massive, systemic changes.
Even Newt knows this but ….
In my last story for @washingtonpost, I write about why the extraordinary bipartisan support in the 1990 Congress for clean air, immigration and disabilities legislation has devolved into today's partisan rancor and efforts to undo those accomplishments. wapo.st/424t3ru

One of the best pieces I've read on how Washington descended into the bitter partisanship of today
Turns out the "good ol' days" ended around 1990, after a bipartisan Congress passed historic bills
Then it cracked apart...

How Congress’s bipartisan high point led to our era of political rancor. Stellar read by @PostKranish to start off your weekend wapo.st/424t3ru

Many thanks to @miamiherald for republishing for the first time my series on South Beach. This was originally published as an eight-page section and it helped lead Miami Beach to abandon a plan to tear down much of the beautiful Art Deco neighborhood and instead restore it.

The Post this week is publishing a number of final pieces by some of its finest writers, now tossed to the curb. Here's a Paul Duggan gem: How an unsolved 1971 murder led to a surprise DNA connection wapo.st/4azZseB

Getting to follow in the footsteps of so many Washington Post correspondents — who have been at the front lines of some of the world’s biggest moments — has been an honor. We are still here, still writing history.
I hope that doesn’t change.

On this day 40 years ago, I covered the launch of space shuttle Challenger for @BostonGlobe. On this anniversary, I returned to the story for @washingtonpost and found an engineer who tried to stop the launch still spreading the lesson of that tragic day. wapo.st/3LHjCdk

40 years later, a new look at lessons from the Challenger disaster. Christa McAuliffe’s shuttle flight as NASA's “teacher in space” lasted 73 seconds. @PostKranish, who witnessed the tragedy, found an engineer still trying to teach its lessons. washingtonpost.com/politics/…
