I love the details about NOTUS negotiation with the Washington Star. NOTUS offered $5k for the trademark. Star countered with ….$10 million dc.citycast.fm/news/washingt…

This is my first week at The Banner's new Prince George's County bureau. I'm covering education and all things children and families. I'm so excited to join a newsroom that supports local stories rooted in our communities. Have a story idea? DMs are open!

In some ways, the world is cooked. But being a twelve-year-old still kind of eats. newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

I was @lizziejohnsonnn's manager at the SF Chronicle and vividly remember her calling me to quit because she got her dream job at The Post. Yesterday was a nightmare was so many, including Lizzie. She is a brilliant writer, curious reporter and unparallelled human. Hire her
Picked up my notebook this morning — full of notes from a recent reporting trip — and got hit with another wave of grief over all the stories that now won't be told. I'm looking for work, preferably in Kyiv, should anyone need a dogged, empathetic reporter. DM/email.

After three years off this platform, I'm back on because of what's happened at @washingtonpost and what we're trying to do about it at @CityCast_DC. We're going to start hiring journalists immediately to make sure DC continues to have great, useful, ambitious local journalism...

Notable from the NTSB chair today. While no one at the FAA did this work, the Washington Post did. Days after the crash, @byaaroncdavis @Blaskey_S and @abtran calculated the space between an approach to 33 and route 4 — key to gauging risk at our airport.

ALT “The Gateway Pundit is skewing the facts and pushing misinformation to advance a speculative argument supporting a chosen political narrative. The Times’s video investigation is journalism at its best: a careful and close review of a range of visual material that reveals the facts of the shooting. Among these facts: Mr. Pretti was holding a phone, not a gun, in his hand. His other hand was free. His arms were pinned near his head when he was shot. We’ll continue to report aggressively and bring the facts surrounding this killing to public understanding.” - Charlie Stadtlander, a spokesperson for The Times

Huge scoop from @NickMiroff...
Bovino demoted and "Kristi Noem and her close adviser Corey Lewandowski, who were Bovino’s biggest backers at DHS, are also at risk of losing their jobs, two of the people told me."

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.

Statement from The Washington Post:
“The outrageous seizure of our reporter’s confidential newsgathering materials chills speech, cripples reporting, and inflicts irreparable harm every day the government keeps its hands on these materials. We have asked the court to order the immediate return of all seized materials and prevent their use. Anything less would license future newsroom raids and normalize censorship by search warrant.”

ALT “The reports of F.B.I. agents raiding the home of a journalist and seizing her electronic devices are deeply concerning and portray a stark threat to free press rights in this country. Actions like this inevitably impede reporters’ ability to gather news in the public interest and as a result make the government less accountable. Reporting and newsgathering enjoy protection under the U.S. Constitution. Law enforcement intimidation like this imperils the transparency provided by independent media.” - David McCraw, Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel

Hannah is a tremendous and gifted colleague.
Back to work.
The reporter, Hannah Natanson, covers the federal workforce and has been a part of The Post's most high-profile and sensitive coverage during the first year of the second Trump administration. wapo.st/49UebRi

This weekend’s firebombing of Mississippi’s largest synagogue recalls a long history of troubles that have faced the small but steadfast Jewish community. Here’s my portrait of Mississippi Jews from Moment Magazine a few years back… share.google/I6g7brQowC200YQ…
