Back in @seattletimes for a story that's meant a lot to me — Chinese immigrants in Tacoma were stunned to discover that the city once expelled all of its Chinese residents in 1885. Reckoning with the tragedy helped a small community find their voices. seattletimes.com/seattle-new…

Excited to announce I'm the new arts and government reporter at @washingtonpost covering the Smithsonian, Kennedy Center, Library of Congress, etc — and how the Trump administration is reshaping those institutions to rewrite the American story. Tips welcome: Signal jle.11

Honored to be part of the amazing @washingtonpost team named a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting for our immigration coverage. Tres venezolanas, dos boricuas, un argentino, una tica and so many more bylines in this package.
The Washington Post won a Pulitzer Prize for public service for coverage of DOGE and the federal workforce. It’s the second time The Post has won the prestigious award in five years. Read more about our winning coverage here: wapo.st/3OX3l5A

In the final ride for @PostSports in the @APSE_sportmedia contest, The Post earns a Triple Crown with top 10s for Print Portfolio, Digital Contest and Projects. We were kind of good at covering sports. I'll thread the rest of our well-deserved top 10s. apsportseditors.com/2025-aps…

I interviewed Julio’s family for The Post before I was laid off. We were the first to report their side of the story that disputed DHS’ claims. Now there's this development. This is why Spanish-speaking & diligent breaking news reporters matter right now. apnews.com/article/immigrati…

This is despicable. After attempting to lay off almost 80 of our members illegally, The Post's CTO Vineet Khosla has tried to co-opt the #SaveThePost hashtag used by Tech Guild and @postguild members, community members, readers, & supporters to push back against these cuts.

Better yet, read the Metro section, which still actually exists
Please read @peterbakernyt on the death of the WaPo metro section, and why it matters so very much:

A retiree wrote this email to a DHS attorney. Within five hours, DHS demanded Google turn over records for his account. A Kafkaesque form of domestic surveillance, intimidating Americans for lawful speech. New from us at the Post: washingtonpost.com/investiga… @JohnWoodrowCox

The Metro staff has always been the @washingtonpost's first line of defense when news breaks in our backyard. Jan. 6, 2021? We risked our safety as rioters chased and chanted "traitors get the rope." That reporting helped win the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. #SaveThePost
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:

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.

Almost every big story The Post has covered -- from Watergate to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol -- depended on the journalists of @postlocal. They are the beating heart and soul of this newsroom and we cannot be successful without them.
Staffers at the Washington Post’s local section have sent the letter below to owner Jeff Bezos. The request: “Don’t eliminate our jobs.”

Recent news about The Washington Post is alarming, to say the least. When we cover major news abroad, our national security team works hand in hand with our colleagues overseas. When we cover unrest in Washington, we rely on our Metro colleagues for insight and street smarts. And that's to say nothing of our fabulous Sports colleagues, who cover with grace one of the only worlds that a polarized America often meets with shields and swords down. Standing with all my colleagues as we seek to #SaveThePost as it is with an eye always toward improvement.

Three undocumented children missing from school because their family is terrified. A parent dropping off his toddler at daycare & arriving to protesters. A 22-year-old asylum-seeker asking for rides to work. A day in Minneapolis under the ICE surge: wapo.st/4jLRnXk

The Washington Post Guild is alarmed and appalled by federal law enforcement’s search and seizure of reporter Hannah Natanson’s property and personal devices. Hannah is a valued member of our union whose work covering the federal workforce has been essential (1/3)

The East Wing of the White House is gone. In 3 days, the admin tore down the entire annex for President Trump's pet project: a 90k sf ballroom that will be almost double the size of the 55k sf main White House building w/ @ddiamond and @oliviacgeorge washingtonpost.com/politics/…

On 14th & R this morning in DC, officers with vests that said only police detained a man who seemed to have been riding a moped, taking him down as passerby screamed. Officers refused to say what agency they’re with. Their unmarked cars had Maryland plates. @washingtonpost

Here’s a story about fear, love and — finally — a little bit of hope. But it’s also a mirror into the human consequences of immigration policy decisions. I hope you can spend some time with this family’s story.
After a medically fragile 4-year-old’s humanitarian parole was abruptly revoked, her family was left undocumented & terrified. Two months later — facing national outcry and pressure from lawmakers — DHS reversed course. washingtonpost.com/immigrati…

New: Republicans are increasingly turning to work requirements as part of a wide-ranging effort to slash spending on welfare — extending GOP messaging around waste & fraud to argue that many people who get federal aid don’t deserve it. w/ @FenitN @danswu washingtonpost.com/business/…
