Firing a reporter via email while she’s in a war zone risking her life for her readers is a despicable, disgraceful act.

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.
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.

It was a dream to report for the Washington Post.
I’m heartbroken to be among those laid off today.
This profile was one of my last bylines. I want to keep telling stories that matter.

Thinking today of my incredible former colleagues and all they have risked to report the news.

Just witnessed an alarming scene with @mjcontrera outside the US Capitol. A group of TV reporters were swarmed and chased away from their cameras, which a mob of President Trump’s supporters trashed.
Here’s the aftermath:

If @JeffBezos follows through with reported staff cuts, he will kneecap @washingtonpost journalism at a critical moment for our democracy.
Please join @PostGuild this Thursday at 12pm for a rally in front of the Post's DC office #SaveThePost

I have watched my friends on @postlocal stake out boats in the middle of the night. Spend weeks documenting every twist and turn of key trials. Report from the Capitol on January 6th.
The Washington Post local staff is essential, @JeffBezos. #SaveThePost

When I joined @postlocal in 2020, we had a staff of between 80 and 90 people. Now, we’re hovering at about 40. And yet, we still break news of national/int’l import. We hold power accountable. Our work changes lives.
The nation’s capital needs a hometown newspaper. #SaveThePost

The Washington Post has long done — and is still doing — great journalism. I don’t understand how laying off a bunch of talented and hardworking journalists solves what is fundamentally a publisher and business side problem. The Post deserves better.

I’ve driven into hurricanes, trekked through jungles and camped on an ice sheet in sub-zero temperatures to bring you news about climate change.
If you value this work, and everything else you read in @washingtonpost, help us send a message to @JeffBezos: #SavethePost

As international correspondents and reporters for the @washingtonpost, we risk our safety to investigate authoritarian governments, report from gang-controlled towns and document evidence of stolen elections. This on-the-ground reporting is more critical than ever. #SaveThePost

Back in 2007, @sbg1 launched The Fact Checker at the @washingtonpost complete with Pinocchios and over the past 14 years at the helm, the amazing @GlennKesslerWP built it into a powerful and important tool for accountability in a free society.

I spoke with several CDC workers cut from the highly-specialized Division of Reproductive Health that monitored IVF & tracked maternal/infant health.

US fertility, per new CDC data:
⚫ In 1990, teens accounted for 12.8% of US births, and just 4 percent by 2023.
⚫In 1990, women 40 and older accounted for 1.2% of births, and 4.1% by 2023
⚫ In 1990, 7 in 10 births were to women under 30. By 2023, less than 1 in 2 (48.6%).

I'm excited to start later this month as a reporter at the New York Times. After many years covering abortion, I'll be taking on a new beat — on the American family, and how the Trump/Vance administration will try to shape it.nytco.com/press/caroline-kit…

The Washington Post has been an incredible place to work for the last six years. The newsroom felt more like a home than an office to me. That's because of my colleagues: dedicated, fearless reporters and wonderful friends.

NEW: I wrote about Dr. Maggie Carpenter, the New York abortion provider who is facing criminal charges in Louisiana and a $100,000 penalty (with interest) in Texas.
It's part of an evolving "states' rights" strategy to restrict abortion nationwide
