My @washingtonpost colleagues worked round the clock this weekend to expose the truth of what's happening in Minneapolis and bring urgent weather news to millions facing dangerous cold and snow. If you value this work, tell @JeffBezos to #SaveThePost washingtonpost.com/investiga…

The work of my fearless colleagues on the International Desk is integral to what makes and has made The Post a great newspaper for decades. It is crucial to those of us who report on national security from Washington. @JeffBezos We rise and fall together. #SaveThePost

Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp. Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

I listened to all the podcasts hosted by potential 2028 presidential candidates so you don't have to. Even on 2x speed...it was painful. Our listening guide: washingtonpost.com/politics/…

Is politics worth it? Young people in office tell me they worry that the answer, increasingly… is no. Their stories evoke urgent questions about how political life can made be safer and more sustainable. Thank you to my dream team of editors @emilyrauhala @libcasey

Abusive messages, fear of physical violence and violations of privacy are the cost of elected office in the U.S. now, according to nine Gen Z and millennial state lawmakers. wapo.st/4keBrLI

This Daily Beast story is inaccurate. @PostOpinions has not forgotten Jamal. We devoted 4 minutes on our vodcast to MBS's role in Jamal's murder during Trump's Saudi visit. Our spokeswoman told the writer, but he refused to include it. Watch for yourself: youtube.com/watch?v=ifeVwLG6…

By "fading memory," he means 5 stories Tues mentioning Khashoggi, 4 just last month, a robust 7-year @wppressfreedom partnership established in his honor working with eight press freedom nonprofits... I could go on. This forced angle is wildly insulting. nitter.cf/farhip/status/19227824…
