Proud mama. @lutherlowe’s wife. @CBSNews Senior White House Correspondent. @whca President. Chinese born West Virginian.
Growing up in rural West Virginia was not always easy, but it has shaped who I am. I was proud to take my dear friend @vladduthiersCBS home, on those country roads:
Next year, @weijia will be the first woman of color to serve as President of @whca. But her story begins in an unexpected small town — and she took @vladduthiersCBS back home to share the emotional journey to reaching her dreams.
BREAKING — U.S. federal judge Paula Xinis blocks the Trump administration, including ICE, from detaining Kilmar Abrego Garcia once he's released from pre-trial detention. She requires ICE to enroll him in the supervision program he was in before his deportation.
Statement by @weijia on behalf of the @whca on Trump excluding the @WSJ from the White House press pool as punishment for its coverage:
The World Food Programme says around 1 in 3 people in Gaza are not eating for days at a time. Spoke with a senior Israeli official today about the situation and concern of rising hunger among Palestinian civilians. We’ll have some new information soon.
Friday night lights on-set @CBSNews with the 1 & only @Weijia whose term as @WHCA President just began this week. Fun fact: we’re both West Virginia natives - she from the north & me from the south

NEW: Trump asked a group of lawmakers if he should fire Jerome Powell – and people in room voiced approval, sources told @CBSNews. Several said Trump indicated he will do it. Trump has been socializing the possibility of a for-cause firing, but White House has not yet formally…
President Donald Trump takes to his Truth Social platform, lamenting "my PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker" into what he calls "the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax," calling them "weaklings" and writing "I don’t want their support anymore."
Today marked the end of my term as president of the @whca. It was tough, important and a learning experience. Every minute of it was worth it. The association is in amazing hands w/ @weijia. She will lead with strength, perseverance, humility and love.
Today, @Weijia officially ascends to President of the White House Correspondents’ Association. Could not be prouder!!! ❤️
“I don’t want to say he’s an assassin… but he’s a tough guy,” Trump says about Putin. The President is frustrated that the Russian leader says one thing to him, but does another.
Trump & NATO Sec Gen Rutte announce a deal where European countries in NATO will buy weapons from the US and send them to Ukraine. Rutte says some European nations may also move weapons fast to Ukraine and later backfill with weapons from the US "because speed is of the essence"

Michael McCown, father of Linnie, went to Camp Mystic to walk and search. He needed to find his daughter. I respectfully share this short dispatch about a grieving father and am so grateful to him for letting me in. washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/07…
JIANG: Why is there such a drastic difference between your numbers and all those others? HASSETT: Let's remember that science is not democracy, truth is not democracy ... if you 3% growth again, then that's $4t more in revenue than the CBO is giving us credit for.
