“Sacrificing journalistic integrity in an effort to be nice to one side of the political aisle so that they view an outlet more favorably doesn’t work. What it instead often does is alienate core audiences.”
"The delayed vote is a snag in Trump’s push to rush the project through the approval process so construction can be completed before the end of his second term."
More here from @jonathanreports.bsky.social with a little from me.
The agency is formally delaying its vote on Trump's ballroom, originally expected for today, citing the sheer amount of public comments.
We went through the 35,000-plus comments — finding warnings from architects, laments from past White House staff, even drawings — and called some writers on the phone.
Most had the same message: the White House is the People’s House, not Trump’s house.
A small federal agency reviewing Trump's ballroom has received tens of thousands of public comments.
More than 97% oppose the project, per WaPo analysis.
"I did not vote for this," one 3x Trump voter wrote.

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

Pushback and Pr For Trump's Iran A •President Trump will be THE ISSUE: The United States remembered as the great- Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ayc est foreign-policy presi- dent in American history ("Fury unleashed on the chi he: Ayatollah," March I). Where previous presidents have stood by - or Ar in the case of Barack Ob-ama, facilitated Iran - th while it financed terror worldwide and worked to develop a nuclear bomb, Trump has identified and eradicated the existential threat. Like Winston Church-ill, Trump is saving the United States and Western civilization from President Trump murderous madmen.

The president appears to post a flattering letter to the editor … written by his former personal lawyer
why u guys dogging me
oh god. Sorry. For context this is my hand
There are a lot of things I don’t understand about Washington. This is just one
met with multiple Very Serious people today as I flaunted this cartoon animal, AMA
Author @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social is back on Capitol Hill today with @tbfighters.org, @pih.org and other advocates pushing for more funding — again — to fight tuberculosis.
I look forward to explaining that in my meetings today
Chase is on the case my friend
the indignity of cutting yourself at home in the morning … and only having your kids’ Paw Patrol bandages to cover it up
This isn’t a replacement for the valuable foreign reporters who just lost their jobs (and who I wish were still working at The Post).
It’s the Washington Post polling team doing a snap poll, as they’ve done repeatedly before.
If the congresswoman truly wanted to get the truth about a conspiracy theory that inspired a shooting and years of terror, she could leave the Capitol and drive a few miles up to the titular pizza place, where she’d find neighborhood kids … playing ping pong and eating pizza. (And no basement.)
Interesting column in the Sunday @sltrib.com: executive editor Lauren Gustus details how her paper and other outlets (including CNN, Fox, AP, Reuters, NYT and more) are fighting to keep the Tyler Robinson case open to the public and splitting the cost of doing so.
Congrats to star Washington Post reporters @hannahnatanson.bsky.social , William Wan and @merylkornfield.bsky.social for winning the 2026 Toner Prize for Excellence in National Reporting for their series on “The year Trump broke the federal government” tinyurl.com/2sk3xphw
In hearing just now, Sen. Bill Cassidy presses Casey Means, Trump's nominee for Surgeon General, on whether she'd recommend parents get kids vaccinated.
MEANS: I'm supportive of vaccination… every individual needs to talk to their doctor before putting a medication in their body.
New: Trump convened construction companies at the White House this month as he pushes to quickly remake Dulles.
The companies took turns pitching him and Sec. Duffy on big changes — including how to get rid of the “people movers,” per sources.
Another meeting is set for today.
lol, only if you mean “DD tried and failed to get his colleagues to bet him $1 on slack”
readers following the Washington Post live-blog got true exclusive insight
Exclusive: As GOP leaders rushed to defend Trump's decision to tear down the East Wing, one Republican lawmaker privately warned a senior White House aide that he had “substantial concerns” and demanded answers about how the decision was made.

you: I wonder what Cam Boozer is saying to Coach Scheyer
me: is that former U.S. surgeon general Vivek Murthy
Breaking news: The Supreme Court struck down most of President Trump’s sweeping tariffs, dealing a major blow to his signature economic policy.
The decision is expected to affect global trade, companies, inflation and the pocketbooks of every American.
I got the press email, and its use of “real” and “reality” suggested to me that it was a real story. (Then I saw the Atlantic CEO tweeting about how “heartbreaking” it was to read, which further suggested, to me at least, that it was true.) There was no editor’s note when I read the story, either.
So you're saying the president can release government files in the public interest www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
