Very proud of WaPo today, winner of 2 Pulitzers and finalist in 2. I’m thrilled to have been part of the winning team, for the Trump shooting (will never forget that long drive to Butler in the middle of the night) And part of our finalist team, for coverage of the war in Gaza.

It may feel good to cancel but you’re starving a pretty important engine of journalism, whatever the editorial side fuck ups may be. And I speak as someone who was called at 2 AM this morning because of booms over Iran and I’ve been at the goddamned keyboard ever since.

Don't cancel your subscription. Reporters are working so hard, and the campaign folks are breaking incredible stories. Including today’s about Trump ally Musk launching his career as an illegal migrant.

There are too many greats leaving the Post. Heartbreak drawing. But I have to acknowledge one of the best editors in American journalism, and certainly the best I’ve ever had. Thank you Lynda Robinson.

Man, last month for this dispatch, Hamas political head Basem Naim told us “It has been quiet, but it is beginning to boil." And Hamas boasted openly of conducting drills for "rocket launches, kidnapping soldiers and 'storming settlements.'" washingtonpost.com/world/2023/09/…

The US allows Israel into to the exclusive visa waiver club. In exchange, travel may get easier for some Palestinians. “When it’s important to them, the Israelis can make big changes happen.” - Frm Amb Tom Nides washingtonpost.com/world/2023/09/…

More steps towards escalation in Gaza today since our story yesterday. The first incendiary balloons out of Gaza in two years, followed by Israeli drone strikes on Hamas posts. No reported fatalities. washingtonpost.com/world/2023/09/…

With violence soaring in the West Bank, it's been a rare quiet summer in Gaza. That may be changing. From Gaza W/ @iHaZeMi washingtonpost.com/world/2023/09/…
