So, that next morning, I did what I do. ... I was applying for jobs, writing, and trying to figure out what my ~new life~ would be.pic.twitter.com/SsL2r5XHsT

After DOMA was struck down in 2013, we expanded my role and I was covering more of the Supreme Court’s docket and more as legal editor.
So, I also was doing that—and added a focus on the death penalty. Then, Justice Scalia died unexpectedly—and there was a vacancy to cover.
I ran a half-marathon, we got a SCOTUS nominee, I interviewed AG Lynch on a flight back from Alabama, and ... I interviewed President Obama.pic.twitter.com/SG5SIL5Epk
Like, what the hell? This was not the life I imagined. Not in my wildest dreams.
As the year progressed, of course, Trump won the election — and my job took on a whole new level of ... whatever this has been.
In addition to covering the Supreme Court and Trump’s new nominee, I also was covering all the travel ban litigation right from the start.
As folks know, I then got Hepatitis A this fall and was out of commission for a few weeks.
There was no better way of me understanding how much my life has changed since I moved here than that.
There also was no better way of showing me how much I love my job — and my friends, family, sobriety, &, honestly, all of you — than that.
So, here I am, eight years later, working on a long, wild constitutional story with my editor, loving my life, and eager to keep this going.
Also, how wild is this? I ran my fastest 5K time ever this evening. (That made me damn happy, given I could only run a mile 3 weeks ago.)pic.twitter.com/Qr255XJwSL
I thank everyone. My friends who helped me move here and live here and find work here, the friends who helped me get sober, my family ...
... my co-workers/friends who put up with me at my me-est, everyone who’s been a source or a subject or an expert or anything, and ...
... of course, all of you—people who read, follow, RT, comment, criticize, make me think ... & have been such great friends over the years.
I never, not for a second, imagined when my plane landed 8 years ago in this city that I would be spending my days at the Supreme Court.pic.twitter.com/AkscA19dQ2
But here we are. I am so constantly grateful for the opportunity to do so and humbled by it. I try my best each day; that’s all I can do.
Here’s to whatever comes next. I only know I have no clue what it will be. ... Night, all, and let us be good to one another—and ourselves.
