President Trump announced on Thursday that Sarah Huckabee Sanders, his loyal White House press secretary, will step down at the end of the month and he urged her to run for governor of Arkansas.
The announcement, made on Twitter, ends a tumultuous stretch for Ms. Sanders, who fiercely defended Mr. Trump since his 2016 campaign and jousted regularly with reporters. She presided over the end of the traditional daily news briefing.

>The reality of the situation: I do not have a chartered flight, no one has told any of the traveling media that we are quarantined. We’re basically self quarantined right now waiting for information on how to move forward. We absolutely are all scared because we’ve been exposed.
>We do not know how or when we’ll be tested, we don’t know anything other than we spend every day around these guys. And that an entire arena was emptied. Now we are sitting in the depths of the arena waiting to know our next step.
I'm Rebecca Plevin, and I am the immigration reporter for The Desert Sun newspaper in Palm Springs, Calif., part of the USA TODAY Network. I previously worked as a health reporter for KPCC, the NPR affiliate in Southern California. My stories also appeared on NPR and Marketplace. I have earned regional and statewide awards for print, audio and online work. I was born in Washington, D.C. and am a graduate of Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.
I'm Omar Ornelas, and I am a Mexican photojournalist based in Palm Springs, California. For the last 15 years, I have been reporting on and photographing farmworker labor, education, health and housing issues in the Coachella Valley, as well as border security and Mexican and Central American migratory flows at the U.S.-Mexico border, for The Desert Sun and the USA TODAY Network. I reported and created visuals for “Rigged: Forced in Debt. Worked Past Exhaustion. Left with Nothing,” a USA TODAY investigative series recognized as a 2018 Pulitzer Prize finalist for the National Reporting category. My work has appeared in USA TODAY, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and Orange County Register in the U.S. and Milenio and La Jornada in Mexico.
We traveled to Guerrero, Mexico, twice to report this project, with the support of the Pulitzer Center for Crisis Reporting. We also spent four days in Oregon with an asylum-seeking family from Guerrero and more than a week in Tijuana, interviewing migrants from Guerrero, throughout the fall.

Update: 12:28 p.m. That's all we have time for now! Thanks for joining the discussions and reading our project. There's a lot to unpack, but we hope you read the stories that might shed light on the current situation of many Mexicans in Guerrero.

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hello, Reddit. We are Sarah Stellwagen, a biology postdoc at UMBC, and Rebecca Renberg, a research scientist at the United States Army Research Laboratory. We're excited to share how we figured out how to sequence two incredibly challenging spider glue genes for the first time, and the possibilities this opens up for science.
Spider glue is a modified version of spider silk that keeps a spider's prey stuck in its web. Unlike silk, it's a liquid both inside and outside of the spider. Because of this, spider glue might be easier to produce in the lab than silk, which could lead to major advances in biomaterials. There are so many potential applications to explore in the future, such as using it to protect crops from pests instead of using insecticides.
We'll be here to answer your questions at 11:30 a.m. EDT / 8:30 a.m. PDT

Like yeah. I get it. It's winter. But hey can we at least get some dormant grass or winter flowers?
I never ever want to feel like I'm looking at a movie set when I watch this show. The fact that it looked like a flattened out acre of the Arizona desert really didn't fucking help the immersion. It broke the entire scene for me. I want to see more flourish of the south. We've been looking at the dead empty snowy waste for three episodes. Make me feel like I'm standing outside the gates of a prosperous capital city in a lovely country. Totally took me out of the moment.
> Abstract > > Online communities provide important functions in their participants’ lives, from providing spaces to discuss topics of interest to supporting the development of close, personal relationships. Volunteer moderators play key roles in maintaining these spaces, such as creating and enforcing rules and modeling normative behavior. While these users play important governance roles in online spaces, less is known about how the work they do is impacted by platform design and culture. r/AskHistorians, a Reddit-based question and answer forum dedicated to providing users with academic-level answers to questions about history provides an interesting case study on the impact of design and culture because of its unique rules and their strict enforcement by moderators. In this article I use interviews with r/AskHistorians moderators and community members, observation, and the full comment log of a highly upvoted thread to describe the impact of Reddit’s design and culture on moderation work. Results show that visible moderation work that is often interpreted as censorship, and the default masculine whiteness of Reddit, create challenges for moderators who use the subreddit as a public history site. Nonetheless, r/AskHistorians moderators have carved a space on Reddit where, through their public scholarship work, the community serves as a model for combating misinformation by building trust in academic processes.
For reference this ACM paper is based on Sarah Gilbert's (/u/SarahAGilbert) PhD dissertation work on /r/AskHistorians from 2017-18. You can find her brilliants posts on /r/AskHistorians which also summarises her methods, cultural and technical impacts of AHS using Reddit as platform, and the visible and invisible work of AHS's mods (and why they do it).
The reason why I listed those characters is because every time there is a discussion like this, it they are always frequently mentioned. They are indeed great characters (some of my favorite, actually), but I just want to see if there are others besides them that you guys like.
I was gonna add Black Widow and Scarlet Witch to the list, but I decided not to.
Rubbed smooth or jagged rock formations? What do we know about it?
