I was also laid off from @washingtonpost in today's cuts. I am incredibly proud of the work my colleagues and I did, including our unflinching coverage of the Gaza war -- which still hasn't ended for Palestinians there. Please, readers, support the journalism this world needs.

Hi @JeffBezos, what you did today to the Washington Post is a monstrosity. It should be criminalized. Maybe Amazon is a shopping mall, Blue Origin a travel agency, but the Post isn’t a utility. It’s a legacy, a piece of history, an American institution. If you don’t respect that

Heartbroken to have been laid off by The Washington Post today. It has been the honour of a lifetime to work with these colleagues for a decade, from Damascus to Baghdad, Derna to to Bakhmut. I am proud of our work. Thank you, everyone.
A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."

Feel so incredibly privileged to have spent 13 years as a foreign correspondent at the Washington Post. What a wild run: Lebanon, Iraq, Jerusalem and Berlin and so much more. Thank you to everyone that trusted me to tell their stories.

The Post has lost so many incredible reporters today, including it's entire Middle East team. This is about more than economics, it's also about press freedom. What a terrible day for journalism.

Today a source warned me that my reporting lines could have me killed. Just an average day as a foreign correspondent. I can’t count the number of times I’ve come under fire or had windows rattle from blasts. Our international staff risk so much to bring home news. #SaveThePost

Just got off the phone with @SecRubio He informed me that Nicolás Maduro has been arrested by U.S. personnel to stand trial on criminal charges in the United States, and that the kinetic action we saw tonight was deployed to protect and defend those executing the arrest warrant
I look forward to learning what, if anything, might constitutionally justify this action in the absence of a declaration of war or authorization for the use of military force
