The hallmark (the “brand”) of the Washington Post has been accountability journalism. Thus, today’s staff decimation is Bezos’s greatest gift to Trump, so much more valuable than the Melania movie, inauguration money, etc. This disaster began, for real, with the Harris endorsement he killed.
@nytimes.com seeks an economics editor: talkingbiznews.com/media-news/n...
Talk about buyer's regret! Musk bought a president for $280 million dollars and it's not working as well as he expected it to.
There are very few plum jobs left in journalism but @Reuters is seeking a new Washburo chief. So much agita, but so much impact. careers.thomsonreuters.com/us/en/job/JR...
Yes! This is what I'm saying. I would be shocked if there wasn't a large circle of Trump associates getting the tips they need to short, cover, buy, sell and short again. Calling SEC!!
Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA):
"I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"
my offer to america: we bring woke back
George Soros better bet busy writing all of our checks.
I'm afraid to ask but what is the US Naval Academy going to do with all the physical books they are removing from their library shelves?
Inspiring thread
It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you
The approval rate for compensation applications for service-related disabilities like hearing loss, impaired limbs + post traumatic stress was as much as 22% higher for white veterans than black vets.
Trump just axed the office investigating these disparities.

All of the federal stats will be compromised or discontinued and instead of numbers, we will just get "BEST ECONOMY EVER!" pronouncements from the White House. Can you take that to Wall Street?
Prediction: The irreversible death of data. By mid 2026, we will not know how many Americans have died, or what caused their deaths, or the unemployment rate, or how much the CPI has changed or whether the GDP is rising or falling or whether we are importing more or fewer things. 1/
It takes one senator to block a nomination. Congress also has oversight authority. I do not want to see my wonderful reps and sens protesting in front of buildings. I want to see them using the full power of their positions to protect the U.S. government and all of its data.
So I wonder how many of Trump’s rich friends/henchmen just made a ton of money as a result of Trump's flip-flop on tariffs on Mexico? Kinda feels like Trump took a page out the playbook "Market Manipulation for Dummies."
Though they surely won't be defended by the "Justice" department.
Some career flacks at NIH and HHS are going to have to stick their necks way out of their safe zones and do the right thing. There are laws requiring agencies to communicate their activities to the public. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
A tesla is up in flames right in front of a Trump building with the word Trump prominently posted over the golden brass front doors.
How is this immediately iconic photo not ai? Could not have been designed better.
Sounds boring, actually fascinating.
It's working! Keep calling him Vice President Donald Trump!
Donald Trump has promised to turn the United States into the “crypto capital of the planet.” It’s not surprising that crypto assets are rising in value—or that some observers are getting nervous, @johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.
Why didn't they just put the photos inside a glass case that only the manager can open
Maybe Brian Thompson shooting was unrelated to recent exposé about his company's systemic denial of mental health benefits. Maybe it wasn't. A good read either way. $UNH #UnitedHealthcare
🤏 this much
Dear tech friends: Why can't anybody invent an app that scoops up all of our followers on X and transfers them here? You can start with me @lindastern on x and @lindastern.bsky.social
What is the venn diagram of young Trump voters and people who eat (ahem, tariffs) Mexican avocados all the time??
It would be nice if at least one of those stories about Trump's planned tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports included information about whether the President actually has authority to raise 25 percent tariffs by executive order. What's the legal context here?
Can't really educate a public that won't read your paper - the stories were there. Many people choose to get all of their "facts" from specialized newsletters or partisan cable services.
Wow, I'm still mad. Kind of amazed at how this anger has held up.
