NEW: Last year, a former modeling agent who famously introduced Trump and Melania asked a top ICE official to have the mother of his son detained. Paolo Zampolli told the official that it would help him in a custody battle. The ICE official agreed to help. nytimes.com/2026/03/20/us/pa…

The WaPo is 10 bucks a month, less than 3 silly coffee drinks. Even though I work for The Times, I daily find news stories and opinion columns in The Post that enlarge the world for me. #whyIsubscribe

I hate billionaire-owned media as much as the next person, but if we don't pay for news that's how it'll always be. Also I'd miss @petridishes too much if I cancelled. (Also a mountain of kickass journalism that makes the world better every goddamn day) #whyIsubscribe

One of my all-time favorite @washingtonpost stories, by @john_hudson. For those outraged by Bezos' decision, is there a way for you to speak or act that doesn't involve turning away from the work of these reporters? #whyisubscribe washingtonpost.com/national-…

Home to first bylines I ever recognized (@ThomasBoswellWP, @MarkMaske, Wilbon, Kornheiser), place I still constantly turn to (politics, National features, Mideast, investigative, books, and obviously sports), still who I mean when I refer to "The Post" #WhyISubscribe

I worked at @washingtonpost for 18 years and remain a devoted reader of its extraordinary journalism. I echo @Jo_Becker's comment about Post reporters: “They fearlessly hold power to account, including in some cases their own bosses, and they deserve your support.” #WhyISubscribe

I will remain a subscriber of the @washingtonpost . Some reasons why? The important work being done by the visual forensics team led by @ElyseSamuels + live coverage of world events by @libcasey + TikTok content by @davejorgenson. #WhyISubscribe #InSolidarity @PostGuild 🙏🏽

I subscribe to the @washingtonpost because it provides excellent, vital news and analysis; because it employs journalist friends I both admire and envy (@marycjordan and @sullivank among them); and because, dammit, we need more light and less darkness.

The Washington Post is one of America's great institutions, even though when my friends there kills us on big stories I sometimes wish it weren't so great. The Post delivers essential, groundbreaking journalism that the world needs more than ever. #whyIsubscribe

I subscribe to the @washingtonpost because of the investigative work from reporters like @NickMiroff, whose ground-breaking investigation into the proliferation of fentanyl in the U.S. was one of my favorite pieces from 2023. #WhyISubscribe washingtonpost.com/investiga…

Before canceling your @washingtonpost subscription, remember they had the courage to publish the greatest interview of my journalistic career: washingtonpost.com/archive/l… @MJMcKean @theharryshearer @robreiner

There are so many great reporters at the @washingtonpost who write beautiful and nuanced features, like this story from @rubycramer, and do incredible investigations about the lives of women, like @AmyJBrittain. washingtonpost.com/nation/in… #whyisubscribe

I subscribe to the @washingtonpost because its journalists work relentlessly to hold truth to power, like when they investigated how Catholic priests/brothers/sisters sexually abused Native American children who were taken by the US gov’t. #whyisubscribe washingtonpost.com/investiga…
