Zachary Goldfarb

Extraordinarily proud of @washingtonpost Climate team for its work on Hurricane Helene, which was named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting. Incredible partner editors @eilperin @paulina_milla @katiezez @monicaulmanu and others pulitzer.org/finalists/22670

And honored to be named along with two inspiring editors, @loriamontgomery, who will run Politics & Gov't, and @jenniferamur, who will run National

I'm very honored to lead a new department of @washingtonpost -- Futures -- which combines our teams covering tech, biz, health, climate & science. These are amazing journalists covering the forces shaping life in the 21st century. washingtonpost.com/pr/2025/04/24/…

@Neil_Irwin @jasonfurman Or maybe the generational dynamic will be opposite — just as we heard about double digit mortgage rates, the next generation will hear about 2-3 percent rates

@jasonfurman Not at these rates!

The BoE action and general calming down of global bond markets today translated into an 0.26ppt drop in the average 30 year fixed-rate mortgage, per Mortgage News Daily, down to 6.82%

@Neil_Irwin @jasonfurman You’d have the opportunity to tell your kids one day about how high interest rates were when you bought a house

@davidmaraniss Thank you so much @davidmaraniss !

@jacobbogage Thank you @jacobbogage . That is so kind!

I have too many words of praise for @Goldfarb, and too many things I’m grateful for about him. This is a perfect move for WaPo.

@washingtonpost @eilperin @monicaulmanu I feel extraordinarily fortunate to work with an amazing team of passionate journalists, building on the foundation of powerful journalism they've already produced.

After an incredibly fulfilling run as @washingtonpost's deputy business editor, I'm so honored to join the Climate & Environment team as department head. I'll be partnering with @eilperin and @monicaulmanu to build a new pillar of Post journalism. wapo.st/3Jtkj3p

@jimtankersley say hi for me. still have fond memories of him visiting our pod in the old post building

@Goldfarb He has moved on to Minecraft, but I have kept it on the iPad just in case :)

Mid-speech reaction from my teenager: "So the way to get people to clap is just say, 'jobs!' I'm going to go around saying, 'jobs! jobs! jobs!'"

@jimtankersley That’s mind-blowing. I hope he’s still playing angry birds on iPads, though.

@Goldfarb He turns 15 this summer, my friend.

3/18/10 With unemployment at 9.9 percent, Obama signs second $18 billion stimulus into law. The bill was fully offset and reduced the deficit by $1 billion over 10 years. wapo.st/3uJSyMf

“Screen time” — as a concept to track meticulously, to fret and panic about, to measure parents’ worth in — is no longer considered a valid framework in a pandemic world. How a year lived online has changed our kids. Must-read by ⁦@heatherkelly⁩ washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

@davidjlynch I’ve long thought we could replicate the style for story pitches

The pandemic has lasted so long I’m watching Shark Tank

@ylanmui @Neil_Irwin So she’s not throwin’ away this shot She’s saying ‘We need to handle our financial situation’ Are we a nation of states, what’s the state of our nation? 2/2

@ylanmui @Neil_Irwin Powell is yelling for some fiscal stimulus But Congress ain’t gelling So number forty six Is calling in a Yellen She knows Powell’s plight They’re not tight She understands the Fed’s independence But she’s now focused on our descendants 1/2

Biden says he wants @Lin_Manuel to write a hip hop musical about Janet Yellen.
