“I’m glad Will Lewis has been fired. I wish it had happened before he fired all my friends.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/t...

Some news: Ahead of this week’s devastating layoffs at The Post, a group of deep-pocketed locals approached publisher Will Lewis about acquiring the paper’s local news and sports teams. He ignored them. More in @status.news www.status.news/p/washington...

Jeff, just sell the paper, we are begging you

I beginning to think … that maybe … Trump … has never seen … The Lion King

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

Fascism sucks man

Hey bots we take Venmo

Most internet traffic may soon be just AI bots scraping data.

she somehow managed to lie about the very intentional racism in the video AND the animals present in Lion King

i don't make videos just for the headline but i'm very happy this headline exists www.ms.now/ana-cabrera-...

This man deserves as much heat as Bezos.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but... Going to the Super Bowl after you decide to cut the sports section is a choice, and not one that reflects well on the exec who does it.

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.

It sucks that everything that used to be good is circling the drain, but at least Dave makes even the shitty news entertaining.

The Washington Post but it’s ‘The Traitors’

Chris Richards is of the greatest Post writers of all time, & the best music critic in the country. You want Chris’s words in your life, & I am going to keep them in mine. I have never before recommended a Substack. His brand new one has my immense endorsement: thefutureisourstomake.substack.com

Former executive editor @postbaron.bsky.social says the Post is "a case study in near-instant, self-inflicted brand destruction." www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

JM is one of the hardest workers I know. His layoff, and countless others, are just further proof that there is no strategy here. They are gutting the Post for sport, for an audience of one. (anyway, please hire JM)

Lost my job at the Washington Post today, along with many of the best in the business. I want to keep covering tech and the internet. If you have leads on jobs for me or my colleagues, please reach out. I’m so proud of our work.

So many incredible journalists got laid off today. Heroes, mentors, friends. Just an absolutely devastating day. Starting a thread here with some of their incredible work, and how to follow and support them.

fb just served me a "memory" from TWENTY YEARS AGO, we gotta shut the whole internet down

Trump wants to “nationalize” voting. Here’s what could happen if he does.

Save the Post from its owner, who continues to abuse this storied institution so he can curry favor with the Trump administration. I won’t be in DC but I hope you’ll support if you can.

Bezos has completely abandoned the Washington Post. What an asshole.

Trump wants disharmony with the environment, to show dominance over it. When building Trump Tower, he doubled the size of the name—behind the architect’s back—to dwarf Tiffany’s next door: www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/st...

Forget tarot cards. Alan should’ve put ‘Guess Who?’ on the banquet table.

The MAGA supporters showing up for the audience score is so, so funny. This “movie” is objectively bad, folks. There is nothing redeemable.

We’re not paying for that movie ticket
