We’ve got a full menu of news we’re trying to keep on top of today. But I wanted to let everyone know about some comings and goings here at TPM.
First, Associate Editor Lila Shapiro, who’s been TPMCafe editor and doing about a hundred different other things at TPM for the last year is off to a new job at Huffington Post. We thank her for all her hard work and wish her the very, very best. Here’s Lila’s sign off post at TPMCafe.
You can remember Lila from her going away bash at TPM HQ (pictured below) or just go over to Huffpo and check out her headlines and news layouts.
Second, we’ve promoted Brian Beutler to become our new Congressional Reporter-Blogger at TPMDC. Brian’s actually taken this week off which I guess makes sense to take a final breather before formally join the TPM reporting cult.
Third, we’ve hired former TPM intern Rachel Slajda to be our first of three new “news writers.” Rachel starts next week.
And finally, fourth, we’ve promoted former intern Versha Sharma to be our first TPM ‘Editorial Fellow.’
We expect to have several new hires to announce in the near future.
