The Mississippi River is mostly frozen over between Alton and Grafton. Towboats are still able to push barges through but traffic on the river was limited today. There were also a bunch of eagles out on the ice & soaring in the sky; I counted 10, mostly juveniles @stltoday #stlwx

How can you claim to be refocusing on politics and then let go of one of the top political reporters anywhere - and in a year when Texas politics is taking center stage?
I was laid off today from the Washington Post’s campaigns team covering the midterms and 2028.
I hear this is an important election year — and I want to cover it aggressively. If you’d like to work together, my DMs are open and you can email me at [email protected].

👀 on Jeff Bezos: Washington Post journalists are increasingly criticizing his ownership approach and questioning his motives.
Daniel Shular retweeted
Laid off from the Washington Post, along with the entire roster of Middle East correspondents and our editors. Hard to understand the logic. But I am grateful for my incredible colleagues, whose grit and dedication to the reporting and each other I will miss dearly.

today’s mass media layoffs really go beyond “industry news.” we’re watching the removal of the people who explain what’s actually happening to us, beyond canned press releases and official narratives, at a time when we need that the most. healthy democracies need journalism!!

A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

Dylan Byers embodies the worst of Washington journalism. Astoundingly naive of the narratives of the powerful in exchange for vapid and largely immaterial “scoops.” A precise inverting of the highest callings of the profession
Scoop: The Washington Post will announce its highly anticipated layoffs *tomorrow.*
As we've reported, WaPo is expected to cut *hundreds* of jobs and eliminate sections, instead focusing on core areas like politics & nat'l security.

What if Democracy dies in indifference?

These lawsuits aren't filed to be won. The standard for defamation is quite high.
They're filed to drain resources that would otherwise be spent on, say, covering the news.

U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker, R-Pa, filed a defamation lawsuit against local newspaper LNP Media Group, seeking $250k.
This is an escalation of Smucker's hostility toward LNP | LancasterOnline, of which he has grown increasingly critical in recent years. portal.lancaster.pa.countysu…

ALT This image shows a logo of The Washington Post Guild and our statement: The Post Guild vehemently opposes any more cuts to the staff of The Washington Post. As we’ve seen in recent years, continuing to eliminate scores of workers who make this storied institution what it is only stands to weaken the newspaper, drive away readers and undercut The Post’s mission: to hold power to account without fear or favor and provide critical insight into communities across the region, country and world. If Jeff Bezos no longer supports that mission, then The Post and its readers deserve a steward who does. If you value The Post’s journalism and its renowned past — if you care about its future — we ask that you join us in our call to #SaveThePost.

A top Post reporter tells me "there's now a strong sense" across the newsroom "that neither Jeff Bezos nor Will Lewis are serious, good-faith stewards of The Washington Post."

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.

Two of the strongest parts of the @washingtonpost are its international and sports coverage. They have amazing must-read writers. If they are gutted by Bezos's publisher, it would be one of the most self-destructive acts in American journalism in years. Praying it's not true.
