For nearly a century, @washingtonpost foreign correspondents have been on the frontlines of wars, pandemics, economic crises, civil uprisings and so much more. Washington needs us. The world needs us. If you read us and need us, please watch and share.

Today's election will determine the future of abortion access for millions of Americans. We researched the most important races for access across the country and will be tracking them tonight.
Here are the top 9 states I’ll be watching 🧵washingtonpost.com/politics/…

For #postreports, I interviewed the two millennial lawyers on either side of the debate over restricting abortions across state lines.
Plans are preliminary right now, but momentum is building.

400+ interviews.
400+ years of history.
400+ pages.
Just two months until the release of HIS NAME IS GEORGE FLOYD, written by @newsbysamuels and me, and published by @VikingBooks.
It's "an essential work of history," says Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

In a men’s basketball rivalry that is more than a century old, UNC and Duke have played 256 times. Never in the NCAA tournament. Until now. In Hubert Davis’ first Final Four as a head coach, and Coach K’s last. It’s almost too much to bear.

President Donald Trump’s assault on American democracy began in the spring of 2020, when he issued a flurry of preemptive attacks on the integrity of voting systems.
The doubts he cultivated ultimately led to a rampage in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. wapo.st/3pTXK0M

THE ATTACK: WaPo dedicated dozens of reporters, editors, photogs, video journalists to recreating Before, During & After of 1/6.
We found the DC official trying to alert others. The Dems trying to cut Trump off ahead of 1/6. So much more.
Please read.

Happy to see that stellar reporters and vivid writers (and great colleagues) @CarolLeonnig & @PhilipRucker are on a pre-publication roll with, “I Alone Can Fix It.” First excerpt in @washingtonpost was an eye-popping portrait of a president denying reality.

Must-read from @john_drescher, who until recently was an investigative editor at @washingtonpost. Earlier, he had been the top editor at the Raleigh News & Observer

There are few people, editors — and Tar Heels — as great and kind and funny as @terri_rupar. Amid the sudden death of her husband David Larimer, a beloved Washington Post editor, please consider contributing to an education fund for their daughter, Matilda gofund.me/15c9975f

The facility the senators visited in El Paso was at 450% of its pandemic-level capacity on Friday.
They did not visit the Donna tent facility in the Rio Grande Valley, which as of Friday had more than 3,900 minors in custody -- 1500% its pandemic capacity.
