I dug in to Musk's dismantling of USAid because it shows his playbook for capturing the whole federal government. What surprised me was his direct involvement in the operation. For example, he demanded suspension of 57 career officers by phone last Monday. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/f…

The strange case of Ilya Remeslo, a staunch pro-Kremlin activist who abruptly turned on Putin overnight, now calling for his resignation and prosecution "This man has destroyed everything he could lay his hands on,”Remeslo told me this morning theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

An objectively wild career move and one I couldn’t be happier with or prouder of. The world needs more local reporters more than it needs more national ones and even if I go back to national reporting one day, I’ll be a much better reporter for this experience.

I was wondering why this guy disappeared from politics Twitter. Voluntarily going from NBC political reporter to editor of a regional newspaper covering a population of roughly 150k people seems like a wild career move, but if it makes you and your loved ones happy, go for it.

Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a Tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. Why are you the only person saying this? Trump: Because I just don’t know enough about it.

TRUMP tells me an unconditional surrender by Iran would mean “It's where they cry uncle or when they can't fight any long longer and there's nobody around to cry uncle — that could happen too”

Former US special ops @WesJBryant says the US strike on an Iranian warship is illegal. The boat was hit while returning from a training in India. “By targeting it, is Trump saying that all of Iran’s government and military poses an imminent threat?” #block-69a866888f08b61232069bab" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theguardian.com/world/live/202…

NEW: Trump launched attacks against Iran as part of a joint operation with Israel after they developed intelligence that they could simultaneously target the country’s leadership, according to two people familiar with the matter The Israelis had been tracking the movements of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, and determined there was a window of opportunity to launch attacks as they convened The thinking behind decapitating the Iranian regime was a belief that while the Iranian revolutionary guard might be deeply loyal to Khamenei, in the event of his death they would not back any of his successors to the same extent Inside Trump’s thinking w @Andrew__Roth theguardian.com/us-news/2026/f…

Overshadowed by the (devastating) news yesterday about @washingtonpost layoffs - the @ajc is laying off 15% of its staff. That means we're losing talented people like @Allie_Elisabeth. News orgs would be lucky to grab *any* of these top-notch journos. DM me for references.

Francesca has been delivering brave and nuanced reporting from Russia for the past 3 years. It was a difficult decision to go back in and she has managed the risks to deliver brilliant work. The Post’s loss (along with all their fantastic intl correspondents) will be others’ gain
Francesca Ebel@FrancescaEbel

Have been too shattered to write this but for the sake of clarity — I have also been laid off by the Post. I was one of the few journalists still working inside Russia. My last story went on the front page and featured rare testimonies from wounded soldiers criticizing the war.

In a move that would have seemed unimaginable a few years ago, the Post is closing their bureau in Ukraine, I’ve heard. That’s on top of shredding their coverage of the Middle East… theguardian.com/media/2026/feb…

NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning. Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section. nytimes.com/2026/02/04/bus…

The Post’s new management have handled this spectacularly poorly
Jeremy Barr@jeremymbarr

Still nothing from Will Lewis, the man who runs the newspaper. "Will Lewis’s legacy (already pretty bleak to begin with) will be having enabled Bezos to tank an American institution," one laid-off Post employee told me. "And he wasn’t even brave enough to face his staffers more than once in his tenure at The Post. Embarrassing to say the least." theguardian.com/media/2026/feb…

It is astounding, and yet in keeping with Will Lewis's tenure leading the Washington Post, that he did not take part in today's announcement to the Post newsroom and has not offered a vision for the path forward.
