Today was my last day at Vice. I’m excited for my next adventure covering politics in Iowa for the AP — but I’m so proud to have spent the last two years as part of the incredible team helmed by @Tyrangiel & @madhaeringer. 1/
Every day they make a small miracle happen by getting the show on the air — and there’s an amazing, talented team of reporters, producers, shooters and editors behind them, who work their asses off to make great TV. 2/
In the DC office, our fearless leader is @Shawna, who does it all…including some of the sharpest political analysis around, like this piece on why this time a deal to avoid a shutdown is within sight: 3/
Producer @bitofaninny is a politics nerd, but she also does incredible features, like this one we did on a rape survivor’s effort to get consent classes taught in schools: 4/
@simonemperez consistently delivers greatness, no matter the assignment. She was the one behind our fantastic paparazzi piece, edited by the incredible @victoles: 5/
@wheelb has a knack for finding the most offbeat angle possible on a politics & policy story — like this one, where he & @EvanMcS went to rural Alaska to see why public radio’s so important outside of big cities: 6/

@EvanMcS is endlessly hilarious & his perspective on politics is unlike anybody else's in Washington — but he also does great features, like this one on how a transgender girl is coping with backlash from her town: 7/
& @tejarrett is not only one of my oldest friends, she’s also an incredible features producer. She & the fearless @ahylton26 team up for some of the most thought-provoking pieces, like this one about gangs in Chicago: 8/
These pieces were shot & edited by a hugely talented team, and all of them were touched by many more hands in post-production to make them look and sound amazing. It takes a village. 9/
VNT is quality journalism, and the people who work for @vicenews, past and present, are quality journalists. I’ll miss working with them. But I’m definitely going to keep watching & reading.

If you’re not watching, you should be. Don’t sleep on @vicenews tonight. 10/10
