I'm Helene Cooper.
I cover the US military for the New York Times.

It hasn't stopped us in the past.
It's not going to stop us now.
I will keep working to get you the facts.
This work doesn't happen without subscribers to the New York Times.
Casey, how was your Memorial Day weekend?

I'm a screen maxer.
But this was a weekend where I was like, okay, I got to get out of this danged house.
I got to see some nature.
