@mviser Matt, Congratulations on your amazing career at @bostonglobe and @washingtonpost, where you've been a great colleague. Best wishes on your next chapter at @TheAtlantic , I look forward to continue reading your wonderful work.

It’s my last day at The Washington Post, a legendary place I’ve been honored to call home for eight years. I’ve enjoyed it all in every way, and will always cherish my years covering the White House with the most talented and collegial group of reporters and editors imaginable.

Many thanks to @miamiherald for republishing for the first time my series on South Beach. This was originally published as an eight-page section and it helped lead Miami Beach to abandon a plan to tear down much of the beautiful Art Deco neighborhood and instead restore it.

Breaking news: A judge rejected the Justice Department's request to search through a Post reporter’s electronic devices as part of a national security leak investigation, ruling that the court would instead be responsible for conducting the search. wapo.st/3OZKLsY

The Post this week is publishing a number of final pieces by some of its finest writers, now tossed to the curb. Here's a Paul Duggan gem: How an unsolved 1971 murder led to a surprise DNA connection wapo.st/4azZseB

Except for Washington, all of these men were like 5 foot two

Getting to follow in the footsteps of so many Washington Post correspondents — who have been at the front lines of some of the world’s biggest moments — has been an honor. We are still here, still writing history. I hope that doesn’t change.

On this day 40 years ago, I covered the launch of space shuttle Challenger for @BostonGlobe. On this anniversary, I returned to the story for @washingtonpost and found an engineer who tried to stop the launch still spreading the lesson of that tragic day. wapo.st/3LHjCdk

40 years later, a new look at lessons from the Challenger disaster. Christa McAuliffe’s shuttle flight as NASA's “teacher in space” lasted 73 seconds. @PostKranish, who witnessed the tragedy, found an engineer still trying to teach its lessons. washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/…

The Challenger mission ended in catastrophe. But for those involved in this tragedy, the families of the astronauts and those who approved the launch, much about this story is perhaps even more relevant today than it was on Jan. 28, 1986. wapo.st/4rlbiPE

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.
