When we did our @GlobeSpotlight stories on clergy sex abuse, some people asked us why Boston had this problem. But they were missing the larger, systemic tragedy: It was never just Boston. It was always everywhere:

A reminder how early some @NPR journalists get up for you. This is when my alarm will go off tomorrow so I can host @MorningEdition & @UpFirst with @NPRinskeep. The show is staffed 24 hours, so some of my colleagues will have been up all night. Support public radio & local media!

No, not celebrating. A 2-newspaper city is a stronger city. Rival media outlets make each other work harder. A weakened @BostonHerald is a weakened Boston.

My remote broadcast studio (AKA basement) is back open for business. Enjoy your time off, @nprscottsimon and @lourdesgnavarro! @sarahmccammon and I will hold down the fort for you on @NPR's @UpFirst and @NPRWeekend. Happy holidays to all!

Yes, @NPR's investigative team looked into this. On March 13, the White House promised drive-through COVID-19 testing in parking lots at CVS, Target, Walgreens & Walmart. We found that 8 have opened so far. Nationwide. Details here:

A Month After Emergency Declaration, Trump's Promises Largely Unfulfilled
On March 13, President Trump promised to mobilize private and public resources to respond to the coronavirus. NPR followed up on each promise and found little action had been taken.

It’s true: I’m dusting off my microphones & leaving the @BostonGlobe for @NPR. I’ve joined NPR's investigative team & will occasionally be guest hosting shows. New email: [email protected]. And thank you @John_W_Henry, @Linda_Pizzuti & @GlobeMcGrory for your love of the Globe.

Goodbye, dear building. @BostonGlobe is leaving its home since 1958 to move downtown. We'll miss this scruffy, beloved, memory-filled place.

Replying to @maggieNYT
@maggieNYT Maggie, here's how much the testing never lived up to the president's promises: a month later, there are only 8 drive-thru parking lot testing sites nationwide

Because we all need unexpected delights these days: I was recently at @NPR headquarters in Washington DC for the first time in a year. It was a joy to be back in an office. And I was reminded how much I love this nearby outdoor art -- a beautiful mural that spans two buildings:
