Obama read 10 letters every day and responded to many of them. As I dug through his mail, I was stunned by the level of attention he paid to everyday Americans. I’m so grateful @barackobama gave me access to these intimate conversations for #ToObamaBook.

I’m heartbroken by the loss of so many talented, courageous and deeply principled journalists from the Washington Post. They were treasured colleagues for many years and did excellent work. Today is a very sad day for the Post, the public it serves, and for independent journalism.

Some personal news: After less than three months @washingtonpost, I was among those laid off today. Devastated for all my colleagues who were affected. Thank you to those who have reached out. I appreciate you so much. Please keep me in mind for any openings ❤️
Yeah I've been thinking a lot about that great magazine today--as I cancelled my subscription to @washingtonpost What a sad day
