NBC News is making a series of changes to its White House and Capitol Hill teams, as is typical with a new administration and shift in control in Congress.

Garrett Haake, who has covered Capitol Hill for four years and the past two years covering Donald Trump, is moving to the White House as senior correspondent. Yamiche Alcindor and Vaughn Hillyard will serve as White House correspondents. Hillyard also has covered Trump in the past two years; Alcindor covered Trump during his first term.

Peter Alexander will continue to serve as chief White House correspondent, joined by senior correspondents Kelly O’Donnell and Gabe Gutierrez. Monica Alba and Aaron Gilchrist also will remain White House correspondents.

On Capitol Hill, Ryan Nobles will become chief Capitol Hill correspondent. He joined NBC News in 2022 and has reported on Congress, including the removal of Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the congressional hearings into Hunter Biden.

The atrocities of war are an all too common occurrence throughout human history that continue to this day, leaving not only physical devastation in their wake but emotional and spiritual scarring as well.  While governments squabble over the political pros and cons of engaging in warfare and military personnel prepare for the worst, civilians bear the brunt of the casualties no matter how vile or righteous the reasoning is behind the violence.  One such animator touched by the horrors of war is Cinzia Angelini, who hopes to bring to life the stories of her mother and grandmother, and those of the children who suffered as a result of the conflicts of World War II.  While destruction can be a global effort, so too can creation as Angelini has gathered a host of talented artists and animators from around the world for her largely volunteer-based effort, Mila.  Hit the jump for more.
