Someone responded to an internal Insider email pretending to be me, offering to give free DJ lessons over zoom to my coworkers. Let me be clear: I only give DJ lessons for $200/hour. And I have no experience being a DJ, nor do I own any of the requisite equipment

A *professional update* as I return to the Capitol carnival this week: I’ve been promoted to senior economics reporter at @BusinessInsider!
I’ll keep covering BBB as it zig-zags through Congress and domestic policy (federal spending, taxes, etc) that affects people’s lives

Jake is an awesome reporter and a wonderful coworker, so this a real bummer. The only silver lining is we'll still be able to read his excellent work at the Daily Beast and also I won't have to hear as much about hockey now
Some personal and personnel news: Tomorrow is my last day at @BusinessInsider. On Monday, I'll start at @thedailybeast covering GOP campaigns.
I'm gonna miss the excellent team at BI, especially after going through 2020 together and all the varieties of chaos that ensued.
