My Final Post

by

This isn't my last piece at The American Prospect, but it is my last post-if you follow me on Twitter, you probably know, by now, that I'm leaving The Prospect to join The Daily Beast as a staff writer. I'm not the best at goodbyes, so I'll say this: Not only am I grateful that The Prospect hired me three years ago-despite not having any journalism or professional writing experience-but working for the magazine since has been a great pleasure and privilege. And the same goes for working with everyone who makes The Prospect what it is: I honestly can't imagine a better team of people, or a better group of friends.

Starting next month, you can find my stuff at The Daily Beast (and I'm always mouthing off on Twitter. But I will still be reading The Prospect, every day, and you should too.
