Great news for DMV journalism.

Excited to join this fabulous team soon 🙏🏽💫 And thrilled by the name. The Star was an iconic paper in Pakistan — where I learned from legendary editors + reporters and where I published my first articles. Before Partition, in Calcutta, it published my inspiring grandmother too.

@_waleedshahid @_vaibhavvijay_ “Never studied seriously” hm

Consultants will earn millions teaching politicians how to go viral. Bernie Sanders has ~35M followers across platforms by communicating in often the least interesting way imaginable: saying the exact same thing, in the exact same way, for 40 years. The largest digital footprint of any American politician not named Trump -- and it's almost never studied seriously, because the answer to why puts you at odds with very powerful and wealthy people in the party.

@stephen_neukam Hell yea

@AndroidNeera @SlurricaneH @annanorthtweets Very dumb of me I regret it

@SlurricaneH @JStein_WaPo @annanorthtweets I can't believe he would associate with rape apologists

Easily the most poorly aged article from Woke 1.0 @JStein_WaPo @annanorthtweets

Personal news (of the United States): I'm joining @NOTUSreports! They're cooking up something special, and I'm super pumped to be joining a group of ridiculously talented people to help cover the Senate alongside the great @alweaver22 next month

@kaleekreider Tysm Kalee excited to work together!

@JStein_WaPo You had an amazing run. The app showed that you were my most read reporter there, year after year.

Today is my last day at WaPo after ~9 years A very self-indulgent post, I know, but some highlights of my time: — Meeting & giving voice to those at the bottom: Laid off steelworkers in Kentucky & coal miners in West Virginia; residents in decrepit public housing in NYC; hurricane survivors in Puerto Rico; Maine families crippled by the eldercare crisis; victims of US sanctions in rural Guatemala — Challenging those at the top: Wall Street and Fortune 500 execs; Congressional leaders, White House officials & U.S. treasury secretaries in both parties — Getting an appendectomy in eastern Ukraine — Telling people I had no authority to send stimulus checks, given that I'm a reporter — Spending my travel budget on Taco Bell dinners So grateful for all the editors, sources, reporters & above all readers with me all these years Will be back offline to really finish my book for a little bit — & see you soon @ Washington's most exciting newsroom, new name coming soon

@AndrewFeinberg @MaeveReston @NOTUSreports Tysm

@JStein_WaPo @MaeveReston @NOTUSreports Done and done

A recent internal assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency that was circulating inside the Pentagon in recent weeks determined that Iran could potentially keep the passage shut for anywhere from one to six months, four sources familiar with the document told @CNN. But White House & Pentagon officials insisted that the assessment — particularly the longer end timeframe, which some consider a worst-case scenario — was not being seriously considered cnn.com/2026/03/20/pol…

@binarybits Tysm Tim !!

@JStein_WaPo Congrats on an amazing run!
