Very proud of WaPo today, winner of 2 Pulitzers and finalist in 2. I’m thrilled to have been part of the winning team, for the Trump shooting (will never forget that long drive to Butler in the middle of the night) And part of our finalist team, for coverage of the war in Gaza.

It may feel good to cancel but you’re starving a pretty important engine of journalism, whatever the editorial side fuck ups may be. And I speak as someone who was called at 2 AM this morning because of booms over Iran and I’ve been at the goddamned keyboard ever since.

Don't cancel your subscription. Reporters are working so hard, and the campaign folks are breaking incredible stories. Including today’s about Trump ally Musk launching his career as an illegal migrant.

There are too many greats leaving the Post. Heartbreak drawing. But I have to acknowledge one of the best editors in American journalism, and certainly the best I’ve ever had. Thank you Lynda Robinson.

Horrible carnage in a kibbutz where breakfast is still on tables and bodies are all over. Unimaginable what these people endured. w/ @LorenzoTug

The Israeli army escorted a group of journalists inside the town of Kfar Azza on Tuesday as bodies were recovered. “It is a big massacre,” a general said. “A catastrophe.”

Man, last month for this dispatch, Hamas political head Basem Naim told us “It has been quiet, but it is beginning to boil." And Hamas boasted openly of conducting drills for "rocket launches, kidnapping soldiers and 'storming settlements.'" https://t.co/WDn8Ha1y4d

Neither Israel nor Hamas wants a military confrontation, security experts said, but both have hard-liners to appease. In Gaza, the next war never feels far off.

Donkeys are a fixture in Gaza because of the Israeli embargo. Now the embargo, acting on concerns from animal welfare groups, may take them away. W/ @iHaZeMi

Donkeys are vital to commerce in Gaza, a consequence of Israel’s 15-year-old economic embargo. Now, they are increasingly hard to find, and harder to afford.

First-person-view drones — fast, highly maneuverable and relatively cheap — are now the predominant attack drone in Ukraine.

The US allows Israel into to the exclusive visa waiver club. In exchange, travel may get easier for some Palestinians. “When it’s important to them, the Israelis can make big changes happen.” - Frm Amb Tom Nides https://t.co/luTZJYkHkF

The visa deal could have a major impact on Palestinian Americans, whom Israel must now treat like other American citizens when they enter the country.

More steps towards escalation in Gaza today since our story yesterday. The first incendiary balloons out of Gaza in two years, followed by Israeli drone strikes on Hamas posts. No reported fatalities. https://t.co/WDn8Ha10eF

When will Biden host Bibi? The president is practicing a bit of dis-plomacy. https://t.co/1wZ5qtzowG

President Biden will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the U.N. General Assembly on Wednesday, but there is no coveted White House invite.

A powerful look at simmering protests in Iran (where IRGC has killed more than 500) a year on, from @MiriamABerger. They are waiting for the next spark. https://t.co/OpORZkJxJF
washingtonpost.com
The last year gave the world a glimpse of the seething anger just below the surface of Iran’s repressive society. But it also highlighted the resilience of the regime.
