BREAKING rn
The Supreme Court may vote to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, a draft opinion obtained by Politico reveals. It’s unclear if the draft represents the court’s final word on the matter, and now a D.C. group is pushing for a midnight protest. nbc4dc.com/66JU5VF
My sister & I prayed for St. Francis of Assisi's intersession last night when our cat had to go to the emergency vet. I've always liked that about Catholicism - how there's a patron saint for everything. Even negriño.🐈‍⬛ Praying for all the other hospitalized pets, too.❤️
I never got to meet Wendy Rieger (since I've worked remotely since my hiring), but watching these tributes pour in and listening to her talk about life sure makes me wish I had.💔 I posted this to go along with a video made by the folks in the newsroom. nbc4dc.com/hsFrmc5

I'm so happy this finally came together! I'd like to thank all the amazing people who helped center this article, but especially the sweet family who shared their story with me. If you feel so inclined to donate, you can do so here: gofund.me/4ffcacb7
If the family's repairs can’t get done, this Montgomery County neighborhood stands to lose another living connection to a free Black community that established itself shortly before the Civil War. nbc4dc.com/tK2Q4Q7

My favorite part of journalism has to be the interviews. Stay tuned for my story on the ladies below - Montgomery County residents who have lived on the same piece of land since the 40s! And a history lesson courtesy of @montgomeryplans.

Recently posted this story. Though we don't know for sure yet, this is likely a tragic accident. This family needs compassion. These deaths are preventable. Tips to make sure you don't forget a child are in the bottom of the article 1/2 nbc4dc.com/kdPrwnj

2/2 I read a Pulitzer-prize winning piece from WaPo today about hot car deaths. Tackles why these things happen. Again, everyone is susceptible to this fatal accident, even the most doting parents. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…
Let me be clear: Anti-Semitism has no place in the State Department, in my Administration, or anywhere in the world. It’s up to all of us to give hate no safe harbor and stand up to bigotry wherever we find it. cnn.com/2021/07/27/politics/…

Rn outside the Capitol, people are gathered for a 12-hour prayer vigil to demand that Congress "fulfill its moral obligation to fully include a pathway to citizenship in the infrastructure package," according to a media release.
Claudia Faudoa, an organizer w/ @CORAZONArizona has traveled to D.C. to let her voice be heard & to pray that a pathway to citizenship is delivered! Help us send Congress a message by calling your MOC & telling them we need a pathway to citizenship NOW! faithinaction.org/tool-resou…

Faith in Action said faith leaders at the event were expected to reflect "on the theological imperative for congressional action that will transform the nation’s relationship with immigrant workers." Lmk if you attended/your thoughts!
We extend our warmest wishes to all our Muslim friends around the world celebrating. Eid Al-Adha Mubarak!

This number has been updated to 3 people shot. Two of them were involved in the shooting, police said at a presser. Alrighty, I'm clocking out after a tough evening. The gun violence was heavy today. Shout out to @darcyspencer for her stellar reporting nbc4dc.com/K3yVKxW
I just put this up, but very soon it will be fleshed out with details from our awesome reporters on scene. @DCPoliceDept said a total of 4 people reported gunshot wounds. Tune in to News4 now to hear from witnesses and the moment shots rang out @nbcwashington

RIP Deborah Berezdivin. I put up this brief today, about a Jewish student at a DC university who was a victim of the Surfside collapse. I included lots of links for anyone wanting more info on who she was and the things (and people) she loved. nbc4dc.com/wKmDl8D

If you don't know, I'm from Miami. These stories hurt a little extra. I was so touched by something @GWHillel said in an IG post: "We pray that Deborah’s memory should be for endless blessings." Here's an awesome piece about why this blessing is so special tabletmag.com/sections/commu…

May Deborah's memory, and the memory of all the victims of the collapse, be for a blessing. I hope people are holding her family close.
