Scoop: Overnight, the plaque honoring police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan 6 was finally installed, following years of delay. I know because I was there, watching at 4 a.m. as two employees working a nightshift bolted it to the granite wall. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

This level of commitment to informing the public is why it's still worth subscribing to the @washingtonpost in spite of all the tumult

What a classy salute to an ace Olympics writer who, with colleagues, kept reporting from Milan after they knew their jobs were gone

Yep. That'll work.

To our D.C. readers: While we can still barely quantify last week's loss, just a note to say @jennygathright & I and a small but committed Metro team are still here. In such a consequential year for the city, we plan to give it everything we've got. Hope you'll stick with us.

What a story by @dugganwapo, a singular reporter, mentor to me and so many others and possibly the best writer I know. Read (or listen to!) his final piece for The Washington Post, our “Most Read” story today. The best of us, and @JeffBezos let him go. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2026/…

Today’s most read @washingtonpost story is this tour de force from @dugganwapo, a masterful writer and mentor. He and many of the brilliant people who worked on the project were laid off this week. Please spend time with it—and read the comments. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2026/…

From the first night shift I worked at The Washington Post in 1986 through today’s delightful piece about an escaped kangaroo in Virginia, Marty Weil was my master teacher of reporting, a model of the joy of newspapering. His sacking proves the cluelessness of the paper’s bosses

The Washington Post is one of the most collaborative newsrooms I've ever worked in. It's what gives our work the depth and breadth for which The Post is known. Potentially eliminating hundreds of jobs stands to weaken our journalism and kneecap our public service. #SaveThePost

Oh hey look at that, a SUPERB @washingtonpost Metro reporter @oliviacgeorge with a local scoop that has national impact. #SaveThePost #SaveLocalNews

Powerful video from the Foreign staff of @washingtonpost, which covers the world as well as anyone. I was proud to be part of this group for over a decade, and I still read their work every day. It's not too late for @JeffBezos to #SaveThePost.
