This is my first week at The Banner's new Prince George's County bureau. I'm covering education and all things children and families. I'm so excited to join a newsroom that supports local stories rooted in our communities. Have a story idea? DMs are open!

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.

Wow. Mark Oppenheimer reviews Kitty Kelley's @wapo review of his new book on Judy Blume and finds that Kelle made up quotes and details. My guess: Kelley used AI and it hallucinated. She's one of the most unscrupulous writers who's ever lived anyway. open.substack.com/pub/markoppenh…

I was @lizziejohnsonnn's manager at the SF Chronicle and vividly remember her calling me to quit because she got her dream job at The Post. Yesterday was a nightmare was so many, including Lizzie. She is a brilliant writer, curious reporter and unparallelled human. Hire her
Lizzie Johnson@lizziejohnsonnn

Picked up my notebook this morning — full of notes from a recent reporting trip — and got hit with another wave of grief over all the stories that now won't be told. I'm looking for work, preferably in Kyiv, should anyone need a dogged, empathetic reporter. DM/email.

After three years off this platform, I'm back on because of what's happened at @washingtonpost and what we're trying to do about it at @CityCast_DC. We're going to start hiring journalists immediately to make sure DC continues to have great, useful, ambitious local journalism...

Notable from the NTSB chair today. While no one at the FAA did this work, the Washington Post did. Days after the crash, ⁦@byaaroncdavis⁩ ⁦@Blaskey_S⁩ and ⁦@abtran⁩ calculated the space between an approach to 33 and route 4 — key to gauging risk at our airport.

Huge scoop from @NickMiroff... Bovino demoted and "Kristi Noem and her close adviser Corey Lewandowski, who were Bovino’s biggest backers at DHS, are also at risk of losing their jobs, two of the people told me." theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp. Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

Statement from The Washington Post: “The outrageous seizure of our reporter’s confidential newsgathering materials chills speech, cripples reporting, and inflicts irreparable harm every day the government keeps its hands on these materials. We have asked the court to order the immediate return of all seized materials and prevent their use. Anything less would license future newsroom raids and normalize censorship by search warrant.” washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

I stand with my Washington Post colleague @hannah_natanson She is a terrific reporter doing vital and unmatched work. This is a reminder of why we @washingtonpost and throughout the journalism community do what we do.
