Bezos is using Amazon to guide him with WaPo. Customers are now readers. But determining what to cover in the world is not the same as figuring out what baby formula and toilet paper to stock in warehouses. Pubs should listen to readers but that should not be the only factor in determining coverage.

Really scary to see the patient went to Children's National emergency department

I still want an explanation for why we called it the third newsroom.

Huh!

“I would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said. “Don’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back. “Don’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

I'm up holding a sick baby, AMA

Maybe I have a limited imagination, but I think coders are going through a legitimately game-changing revolution because of LLMs and they think it will apply to the rest of the world, and I just can't see it

Breaking MS NOW: The Department of Homeland Security *unsuccessfully* sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, according to a local school official. At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance. www.ms.now/news/dhs-rep...

A federal court cleared way for us @democracydefendersfund.org to depose Elon Musk over the unconstitutional shutdown of USAID Our case now moves into discovery As our Legal Director Tianna Mays explains: accountability starts w/ facts👇 - TN

Epstein: "lets assume that as bill [Gates] gets more known as to his wishes the bad guys begin controlling more closely the vaccine procedure" What

DC area, it's time to nest. Let's get hygge

HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today. Rep. Joaquin Castro: "The Trump administration is trying to take him away again." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Back at the start of the Trump II administration, it was disorienting to watch powerful law firms preemptively surrender and genuflect before the King Turns out it was because the people in charge were close friends with Epstein and were worried about getting outed www.ft.com/content/7001...

If I were ever to switch beats, I think I'd want to report on Internet culture. This stuff is fascinating.

Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care. Here's our attempt at telling their stories. 2/

He is a documented immigrant whose lawyer delivered the medication, but it's still being withheld. This is so dangerous.

"It’s like watching “Succession” if “Succession” had no plot."

Fellow parents, this is my reminder to buy Valentine's cards and gifts so you are not like me (scrambling at the last minute every single year)

This is really revealing about their approach to trans issues. If men can get pregnant (they can!), it ruins their entire argument.

Did you look at TrumpRx to find medications? I'd love to hear from you today: [email protected] (please share!)

Researcher: are you familiar with the concept of social determinants of health? Me: yes but please explain it (Sometimes to get good material, you have to forget you know anything - and you might learn something new, too)

My latest: A look inside the secretive immigration prisons at Guantanamo—and the ethical questions that doctors and nurses face to treat those inside.

Whoa. Kennedy lied to Congress. Great reporting here.

he seems like a perfectly fine bunny to me

This is a good collection of Washington Post reactions, but a lot of people are missing the larger context. Smothering the Post IS a business decision, but the business in question is NOT the Post. The Post is being sacrificed to protect Bezos' other businesses: Blue Origin, Cloud Services, etc.

They’re really going with the “Liam Ramos is no angel” strategy

I hope we don't start the whole narrative on media again, like "LA Taco and People magazine are leading the resistance, what." The Post is laying off people in active war zones, NYT is talking about how Republicans feel sad over that they repeatedly voted for. The media landscape you knew is gone.

Organizers have collected 14 lotion bottles, two deodorant bottles, and one AA Battery that detainees have thrown over the fences with notes attached to them. The full story: lataco.com/captive-loti... By Aisha Wallace-Palomares

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen: A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained" But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

ICE surge news: Minneapolis Public Schools has extended *optional* distance learning until April 6.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

I Was Arrested for Doing My Job as a Reporter. Who’s Next? By Georgia Fort Gift link!

This is awful news for my family, specifically

Really wild to see this termed as a "rival" situation because Novo is a pharma company that actually developed and manufactures the drug in question for highly regulated distribution to the public and Hims & Hers is a uhhhh telehealth company selling unauthorized gray market versions of Novo's drug

Every woman you know has been affected professionally in some way by this if they’ve been otherwise victimized or not. Every. Single. One.

Pediatrics published the Vaccine Integrity Project’s hepatitis B birth dose vaccine evidence review online. The review looked at: 400+ studies/reports, 40 years of data—and the conclusion was unmistakable. There is no evidence supporting a delay in the hepatitis B birth dose. tinyurl.com/4kbsm49f

I do wonder what this means for the U.S. Coast Guard, which was put under the DHS umbrella for reasons I still don't understand

nevermind spanish, some of you have three days to learn how to dance

Help us be the newsroom D.C. deserves: 51st.news/dc-bezos-was...

I think "how to identify a scam" should be taught in every school, church, and senior center across the country

I don't understand how this is not discrimination

The fact that this was written by Erik Wemple for *NYT* really drives the point home.

The U.S. measles outbreak is out of control. What’s happening in South Carolina - and at Dilley detention center - could happen anywhere the vaccination rate dips too low. “It’s not a matter of if, but more likely when.” My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

Measles Is Causing Brain Swelling in Children in South Carolina. 876 measles cases in the state so far, and some children have developed encephalitis. “Among children who get measles encephalitis, 10 to 15 percent die.” [wired.com]

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power
