@MikeMillerDC @OCCRP Congrats Mike! What a great gig, and looking forward to reading your work there

Some personal news, happy & sad: I'm thrilled to have joined @OCCRP as Pacific Editor, working with journalists around the region to cover organized crime & corruption. OCCRP is one of the world's largest & most impactful investigative journalism networks.

Full circle: The Washington Post's obituary for Khamenei was written by Bill Branigin, who joined WaPo to cover the 1979 Iranian revolution which would bring to power the theocracy that dominated Iran for almost half a century. (1/3)

One large study found that when a major daily newspaper covering a federal judicial district disappears, corruption cases there—bribery, embezzlement, fraud—rise by more than 7%. The researchers suggest officials feel emboldened when no one's looking. cjr.org/analysis/local…

I was gutted but also proud when Alex left the then-Insider news team to help The Washington Post staff up in London. She is a great editor. x.com/i/status/20191…

I am so sorry to our readers who looked to us for our international coverage. I am grateful to all the extremely brave, courageous people who spoke to me for my reporting in Russia and Ukraine. I am heartbroken to be losing such an incredible journalist family.

Among hundreds laid off from The Washington Post yesterday were dozens of international employees not eligible for protection under the Guild and being axed under less favorable terms, w/ massive logistical challenges ahead. Please help support them: gofund.me/a1da16561

A short note to confirm The Washington Post closed its Seoul hub today. Have loved every moment of working with the team here and at the mothership. The cuts have been deep across the board and I will miss the many talented people I have learned from — you are all magnificent.

My colleague Marty Weil is one of The Post’s last living ties to Watergate. He’s covered stories that range from local crime to the Sept. 11 attacks to whimsical weather musings. After 60 years, he was laid off yesterday by email. nytimes.com/2026/02/05/bus…

@siobhan_ogrady You’re a brilliant journalist and colleague, even on the most chaotic of days. I can’t believe it.

It’s been the honor of my life to serve as Washington Post bureau chief in Ukraine. ❤️‍🩹

We were led by the best of the best.

My role at The Post — alongside those of hundreds of colleagues across the newsroom — has been eliminated. What an honour it has been to have worked with such talented, hardworking, kind colleagues. I’m so proud of what we achieved.

The Washington Post wins two @PulitzerPrizes in breaking news reporting and illustrated reporting & commentary. Post journalists were also finalists in three categories, including national and international reporting, and commentary.

Are you a researcher/scientist/professor in the United States and are you considering emigrating because of cuts/restrictions on federal research funding? The @washingtonpost would like to hear your story. Please reach out!

@jchaltiwanger Congrats John, look forward to reading your work there!
