We're in an era where intimacy with audience matters a ton for news organizations. So many institutions around town are publicly bemoaning the cuts at the Post. And audiences are hearing that.

There seems to be some confusion about the SAVE America Act. If it becomes law, you will NOT be able to vote with your drivers license alone. Youād need: 1. A passport, which more than half of Americans donāt have and costs at least $130 OR 2. A birth certificate PLUS your

Republicans took away healthcare from millions to pay for making ICE the highest-funded law enforcement agency in America. Seriouslyāthey gave ICE an extra $75 billion in the Big Beautiful Bill that slashed healthcare. What a load of crap.

Significant to see a professional sports franchise post this and the coach discuss the media that covers it and acknowledge the job they do. The fact the Washington Post no longer has a sports department to cover an NFL team in its city is still just unthinkable and aggravating.

He was pardoned for serious crimes - facilitating the financing of terrorists and sex predators. Because he agreed to put millions into Trumpās pocket. Naked corruption. Out in the open for all to see.

It takes all of us to make The Washington Post. Every section works together to create this authoritative, entertaining, worldwide news report. So, @JeffBezos: #SaveThePost.

@NickiJhabvala @washingtonpost Amazon was building lounges in San Francisco for the Super Bowl on Wednesday as Jeff Bezos fired sports & other journalists.

I stand with my colleagues who are livid that the publisher of @washingtonpost showed up on the red carpet of a Super Bowl party after LAYING OFF ALMOST THE ENTIRE SPORTS SECTION. This is why he couldnāt jump on a 20-min Zoom after ending the jobs of 300 people?? @PostGuild
Will Lewis was too busy to join the call to tell his staff heās destroying the @washingtonpost sports department yesterday ⦠but he did have time to walk the red carpet at NFL Honors here in San Francisco today. Amazing.

Will Lewis should be fired stat. The Post would save themselves millions and be able to hire back some of the journalists who are the backbone of the paper and do the actual work. Lewis is an abject failure and a poor leader. #WashingtonPost @wapo

The people at the Washington Post who were poorly performing were Bezos himself and the people at the very top who, post-2020, made a series of bad strategic decisions and failed to capitalize on their success from 2013-2019. And even then, the Post would be in reasonable shape

Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse at a veterans hospital with no criminal record, was prone on the ground, in the firm clutches of CBP agents, who'd removed a holstered, legally-owned sidearm from his belt that he never reached for or touched. He then was shot in the back, and shot many
