Many have asked, so I wanted to share new medical results showing that my ex @DanEggenDC, died largely because his heart, burdened by high blood pressure, simply gave out. He died peacefully in his sleep. We miss him. ❤️

@ericlipton.nytimes.com such a nice note about Dan. ❤️
So grateful for the warm welcome from everyone at The Washington Post today. I was honored to be there for the announcement of the Public Service Pulitzer award that included work by my friend and ex husband @daneggen.bsky.social An honor to be there and to film the moment for our kids.
My heart is heavy today for The Washington Post. The layoffs not only undermine a journalistic institution I’ve long admired but also hurt people I care about. A sad day for the industry and the people who gave so much to make the paper an important force for accountability.

Thank you #BobDylan for the Outlaw tour (I was even named after your Bard College gf) Your new Where’s Waldo approach of hiding in shadows behind a hoodie created an audience disconnect. Tho your voice resonates. Still feel lucky to have heard him.
