Less than 4 years ago, 21 were killed by a gunman. Now Uvalde appears likely to elect "the AK guy." This from @teoarmus.bsky.social tells much about the reality of gun politics in Texas -- In tragedy-torn Uvalde, it’s a scandal-ridden incumbent or ‘the AK Guy’ www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
This image shows a logo of The Washington Post Guild and our statement: The Post Guild vehemently opposes any more cuts to the staff of The Washington Post. As we’ve seen in recent years, continuing to eliminate scores of workers who make this storied institution what it is only stands to weaken the newspaper, drive away readers and undercut The Post’s mission: to hold power to account without fear or favor and provide critical insight into communities across the region, country and world. If Jeff Bezos no longer supports that mission, then The Post and its readers deserve a steward who does. If you value The Post’s journalism and its renowned past — if you care about its future — we ask that you join us in our call to #SaveThePost.
#SaveThePost, Jeff Bezos.
For nearly a century, the @washingtonpost’s foreign correspondents have been on the ground for the world’s most pressing stories. Now, our desk is facing potential steep cuts. Washington needs us. The world needs us. If you read us and need us, please watch this video and share.
It has never been more important to understand what is happening in our world, and @washingtonpost.com's foreign reporters regularly sacrifice their own wellbeing and safety to bring us those vital stories. I'm so proud to share a newsroom with them. We need them more than ever. #SavethePost
We're not perfect, but hundreds of us at The
@washingtonpost.com bust our butts daily to bring you facts, expertise and context about your government & other powerful institutions, incredibly important foreign reporting and journalism you AREN'T GETTING ANYWHERE ELSE #SaveThePost
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.
Proud to work with the @washingtonpost.com's fearless international reporters. They're the heart of this newsroom, and we'd understand our world less without them. #SaveThePost
My @washingtonpost.com colleagues worked round the clock this weekend to expose the truth of what's happening in Minneapolis and bring urgent weather news to millions facing dangerous cold and snow.
If you value this work, tell Jeff Bezos to #SaveThePost

Please don’t hesitate to reach out directly, I think you have my contact info.
Unsubscribing (even if it’s only from print) hurts the journalists who are left — particularly in the Metro section — way more than it hurts Bezos.
The Post has broken my heart a lot recently, but I’m still here because plenty of my colleagues still care about serving the local community.
Hey @beckyhammer.bsky.social — I’m really sorry and sad to read this, though I understand where you’re coming from.
If I may: Of all the papers you mention, we’re the only one with someone covering your state govt in Richmond. We cover DC sports, arts, and Alexandria (yes, a lot less than before).
NEW: More than 80% of the immigrants arrested in D.C. during Trump’s federal law enforcement surge this year had no criminal convictions or charges, new data shows, even though that crackdown was portrayed as targeting violent crime.

“It’s taking a toll everywhere.”
Charlotte's Border Patrol operation has rippled across the lines of race and class, spilling into tony neighborhoods where many residents gave little thought to how President Trump’s deportation push would affect them.
very lovely day in alexandria, va. this morning
Virginia Democrats stick with Jay Jones, electing him attorney general despite violent text messages in which he nonchalantly mused about shooting the former GOP speaker of the House of Delegates in the head. @teoarmus.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Grateful to have my thoughts included in this terrific @washingtonpost.com piece about the gay Republican running to be VA’s Lt Gov by @teoarmus.bsky.social

Our coverage (which I hope speaks louder than a brief social media post) is certainly framed that way:

Virginia is never lacking in political drama when elections come around -- and I'm doing a Reddit AMA with my colleagues Greg Schneider & Erin Cox to answer your questions about races for governor, LG, attorney general & the House of Delegates.
It's tomorrow (10/30) at 2 p.m. ET. Ask away here:
NEW: The Trump administration’s rush to process thousands of White South Africans as refugees coincides with plans for overall refugee admissions into the US over the next fiscal year set as low as 7,500.

A story I wrote from Buenos in Aires in January on meat in Argentina ... suddenly all the more relevant in the U.S. as Trump proposes importing Argentine beef

NEW: Trump's 30-day crime emergency in DC is over.
But DHS agents are still joining DC police patrols & roll calls, even though DC law bars police from helping fed immigration agents.
The result? Immigrants are ending up in ICE custody.

Claudia Sheinbaum’s government doesn’t want to ban narcocorridos. They want to compete with them

The Washington Post can't claim to defend free speech while firing Karen Attiah for exercising hers.
The Post should be a newsroom that promotes the freedom of ideas, speech and the press.
NEW: ICE has arrested so many people in Trump's D.C. crackdown that it's crowding the agency’s Northern Virginia processing site, lawyers say, creating "dangerous" conditions in a site not meant to keep people overnight.

Thanks for reading and sharing!
Wapo article does a good job covering two realities: How deeply watching a parents‘ immigration arrest affects kids, and how DC residents are organizing “walking buses” and neighborhood lookouts to help kids with immigrant parents get safely to school. wapo.st/3VNYZ08
New tonight: The Virginia Court of Appeals appears to have reinstated Arlington’s “missing middle” plan, reversing an order from a circuit court judge that put a stop to the EHO policy.
