For nearly a century, @washingtonpost foreign correspondents have been on the frontlines of wars, pandemics, economic crises, civil uprisings and so much more. Washington needs us. The world needs us. If you read us and need us, please watch and share. @JeffBezos #SaveThePost

From Watergate to the heroes of today's newsroom, landing scoop after scoop against the odds, The Washington Post is a treasure and one of the last great beacons of independent journalism. It deserves ownership that will support its essential mission. #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.

Some have asked in recent days what it means to be an independent newsroom. Here's one example -- a revealing story about The Post's owner -- reported, written and edited by the newsroom with zero interference. Just like every other story. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

For Jeff Bezos and his businesses, Washington has become more important

Executives at companies founded by the billionaire Post owner have sought contact with Trump. He argues he didn’t end presidential endorsements out of self-interest.

The final piece in our American Icon series examining the AR-15’s impact appears in today’s @WashingtonPost, featuring expressions of regret from senators who helped block gun restrictions after Sandy Hook. Honored to partner on this one with @pkcapitol. wapo.st/3H0Oyz8

After Sandy Hook, they voted no. Now these senators want new gun laws.

After a decade of mass killings and surging AR-15 sales, four current and three former senators recant some or all of their 2013 positions on restricting assault weapons in emotional interviews with...
