New: Statement from former executive editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world’s greatest news organizations. "The Washington Post’s ambitions will be sharply diminished, its talented and brave staff will be further depleted, and the public will be denied the ground-level, fact-based reporting in our communities and around the world that is needed more than ever."

I spent today with @lorenzotug and @zakaria_m_z near Syria’s latest frontlines -- cherished, award-winning colleagues in the Middle East, who for years have helped me and the Post’s readers see and understand. The work is grueling, dangerous and vital. @JeffBezos #SaveThePost

Before he fled the Nazis, my great-grandfather fought for Germany in World War I. He was wounded and awarded the Iron Cross. In exile, he believed his homeland could be redeemed. I wrote about the return of German military power: theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

I can’t speak to the @CJR accusations. But @SewellChan just spent over an hour speaking to our @BaruchCollege journalism students (mostly Black, brown and low-income.) He was patient, kind, generous, inspiring. Also, best editors I ever had were tough & demanding. Just sayin’ …

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

I’m just in awe of the @LATimes photographers who have been putting themselves in harm’s way all week to capture this harrowing moment in our region’s history. All the photos pictured here are from today’s paper and are by @WallySkalij, @GinaFerazzi @bvdbrug and @GenaroMolina47.

Chuck Schumer
Chuck Schumer@SenSchumer·
Tonight, I will attempt to pass the PRESS Act in the Senate. This bill would protect journalists against overreaching government surveillance. It would ensure reporters can’t be legally required to disclose sources or research files or hand over data held by phone and internet companies. This bill is bipartisan and passed the House. Senate Republicans should not get in the way.
