SCOOP: Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have invested in more than a dozen defense tech companies and other firms that have reaped $3.2 billion in federal contracts, a @washingtonpost analysis finds. By @lizzadwoskin @abtran Luis Melgar and @PeteJamison washingtonpost.com/technology/int…

The Trump administration is "caught in a box right now between the politics and so close to the midterms here domestically, and also facing Iran -- reckoning with the fact that they have not achieved all of their objectives as quickly as they would have liked to. They have tremendously weakened the regime but it hasn't been exactly what they planned or said would happen." 📺ICYMI: @PostOpinions's @carinemhajjar joined @cspan's @cspanwj, talking to callers abut the #IranWar and more. c-span.org/program/washin…

@RMac18 The Washington Post had reporters with the US World Cup team and stories from at least eight World Cup cities, including Mexico City.

While it appears WaPo did have a staffer at this game, the paper has relied on freelancers and wires for coverage of other matches at the world’s largest sporting event. Just incredible foresight.

Five months ago, Jeff Bezos laid off hundreds of Washington Post journalists including some who would have covered events like the World Cup. The argument was that sports wasn’t a core coverage area of public interest.

I'm on a new beat at The Post, writing about consumer economics. To start us off! I wrote about the massive Boomer wealth that's about to get passed down, and how it will make our wealth gap even more extreme

"There had been good coverage in recent years about the fact that Tulsi Gabbard grew up in this faith group but there was still this central mystery of whether that mattered and what, if any, influence her guru, Chris Butler, who is the leader of the group, had on her and her politics... I looked into it in November 2024. I went to Hawaii... I got asked to leave the street where the guru lives by the police." @jonswaine talks with @BreakingPointsN's @krystalball about the origins of his latest investigation. 📺Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=vyLWIg… 📰Read: washingtonpost.com/investigations…

Platner leading in the polls? Don’t count out Susan Collins just yet. She won by nearly nine points in 2020 despite trailing her opponent in every major poll. Thanks to @jaketapper for having me on.
