This morning, Mayor Johnson attended the announcement for the second annual Chicago River Swim. It was communicated in advance to each reporter in attendance that due to limited availability, the Mayor would only be able to take on-topic questions. This is common practice for such announcements.







You could launch a full-up newspaper from the 300 people laid off by the Washington Post 3 hours ago. Instantly. Business. Sports. Metro. Ukraine. China. AI & tech. They'd start writing this afternoon! A 300-person newsroom would cost about $80 million a year (running a little lean). Just saying. I hear there are some billionaires out there looking for places to invest.

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.
