Long before politicians called for a DOJ investigation into the Charleston County jail, Charleston County knew the medical company it hired was failing to care for inmates. A year later, the company remains in the jail, collecting millions @postandcourier postandcourier.com/news/charlesto…

Very true. The @nytimes and its reporters literally changed history with this story.

Local newspapers people. Local journalism. Must read.

Asked by NYT “if there were any limits on his global powers,” Trump said “My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” I’m afraid those are the only constraints on Trump’s use of nuclear weapons in Iran. open.substack.com/pub/executivef…

"the rhetoric of legal constraint, and debates about the legality of presidential uses of force, are empty. And they deflect attention from Congress’s constitutional responsibility...." open.substack.com/pub/executivef…

The @washingtonpost has closed its Kyiv bureau. But @lawfare has not. Anastasiia @lapatina_ has written and podcasted extensively for us from Kyiv—facing many of the hardships of Russia’s war herself. 1/3 lawfaremedia.org/contributors/a…

WSJ’s @Peggynoonannyc gets it, per usual.

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.

If you were let go today at WaPo, Court Watch is always open to freelance stories involving the federal courts. Consider it a small bridge until you find a place to land. I’ll give first priority to former Posties pitches. DMs open. CourtWatch.news

@johnwramsey I’m sorry, John. Miss playing hoops with you and picking your brain about all things data.

The Washington Post eliminated my job today, along with too many others. If you’re hiring, let’s talk. I’m willing to move for the right job.

We dropped our paywall for this new piece. Court Watch picked one of the largest ‘news deserts’ in the South and examined all the new court dockets that went unreported to tell a larger story about the need for local journalism ‘Dockets Die In Darkness’ courtwatch.news/p/the-rabbit-h…

Last week, the FBI conducted a search of the home of a Washington Post reporter, allegedly related to a source that leaked classified materials to her. Olivia Manes, @mollylroberts, and Ema Rose Schumer explore the First Amendment protection questions raised by this search.

👉 This is ⁦Washington Post reporter @hannah_natanson,⁩ whose home was searched by the FBI this morning. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

.@hannah_natanson is one of the most talented reporters at @washingtonpost and I am confident that The Post will do everything possible to allow her to continue to do the revelatory journalism she excels at, which relies at times on confidential sources. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

I was an intern for @PittsburghPG in 2021. Thinking of the old-school editors I learned from, the WW2 vet I interviewed & the card-playing seniors I met at a community center when it reopened after Covid, to name some. Sad to see a great local paper go nytimes.com/2026/01/07/bus…
