@jpodhoretz @CathyYoung63 @wapo It wasn’t a Washington Post book review, though.

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

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...

@By_CJewett @nytimes Loudoun County strong!

I was a Post intern in '02 and will forever look fondly on it. From the @nytimes, I enjoy having brilliant competition for news and sharp coverage. I hope the Washington Post stays strong.

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…

.@hannah_natanson is one of the most talented reporters at @washingtonpost and I am confident that The Post will do everything possible to allow her to continue to do the revelatory journalism she excels at, which relies at times on confidential sources. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

Hannah is a tremendous and gifted colleague. Back to work.

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.

This weekend’s firebombing of Mississippi’s largest synagogue recalls a long history of troubles that have faced the small but steadfast Jewish community. Here’s my portrait of Mississippi Jews from Moment Magazine a few years back… share.google/I6g7brQowC200Y…

The Atlantic’s newest cover story is out this morning. Extraordinary reporting from @ThompsonJamieL. Everyone should read this: theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/…

Tatiana's essay was @NewYorker's most-read story of the year, by far. It's, in fact, our most-read story of the past few years. She wrote something beautiful and true that moved millions. Rest in power. newyorker.com/culture/2025-i…

The Roys Report’s top stories of 2025 uncovered sexual abuse, cover-ups, and leadership failures across churches, universities, and ministries. The reporting led to criminal pleas, resignations, lawsuits & renewed scrutiny of evangelical power structures. julieroys.com/abuse-allegati…
