@patcaldwell Thank you - this is one of the best jobs in Washington journalism and it was my honor to fill it for a decade. I look forward to seeing what the next person does with it. Apply and work with the great editor @patcaldwell and team.

[Patrick Caldwell @patcaldwell]

It’s impossible to fill @PostKranish’s shoes, but we’ll try. This person will be asked to write agenda-setting profiles of major political figures, with a focus on vetting backgrounds to unearth scoops and write rich narratives. 2/4

@StephArmour1 Stephanie, I worked for @DanEggenDC for the last year, to his last day. He embraced and improved whatever I suggested, a project about Thomas Jefferson, a story about the Challenger, and more. He was a great editor and human being and is deeply missed.

[Michael Kranish @PostKranish]

Great job and great editor. I can attest.

[Patrick Caldwell @patcaldwell]

Come get some zesty edits

[Michael Kranish @PostKranish]

Dan was my editor at @washingtonpost for the last year. A mentor, brother in journalism and great editor. Thank you for making every day and story better. You are missed. Dan Eggen, who shaped politics coverage at The Post, dies at 60 https://t.co/A0p041FEql

Please read @PostKranish’s final piece as he retires after an amazing run.

As he always did, this piece is definitive in explaining how Washington used to work and how problems today won’t be resolved without massive, systemic changes.
Even Newt knows this but ….

[Darrel Rowland @darreldrowland]

One of the best pieces I've read on how Washington descended into the bitter partisanship of today
Turns out the "good ol' days" ended around 1990, after a bipartisan Congress passed historic bills
Then it cracked apart...

How Congress’s bipartisan high point led to our era of political rancor. Stellar read by @PostKranish to start off your weekend https://t.co/vjikYOixmu

[Michael Kranish @PostKranish]

It was my childhood dream to work at the Post, and I'm grateful to have spent the past 10+ years there with many wonderful colleagues, who I am rooting for and will continue to read. I hope this story, meanwhile, conveys some of what I've learned covering Washington.

[Michael Kranish @PostKranish]

In my last story for @washingtonpost, I write about why the extraordinary bipartisan support in the 1990 Congress for clean air, immigration and disabilities legislation has devolved into today's partisan rancor and efforts to undo those accomplishments. https://t.co/riFzTe5W4O

[Michael Kranish @PostKranish]

@mviser Matt, Congratulations on your amazing career at @bostonglobe and @washingtonpost, where you've been a great colleague. Best wishes on your next chapter at @TheAtlantic , I look forward to continue reading your wonderful work.

Many thanks to @miamiherald for republishing for the first time my series on South Beach. This was originally published as an eight-page section and it helped lead Miami Beach to abandon a plan to tear down much of the beautiful Art Deco neighborhood and instead restore it.

The Post this week is publishing a number of final pieces by some of its finest writers, now tossed to the curb. Here's a Paul Duggan gem: How an unsolved 1971 murder led to a surprise DNA connection https://t.co/vetm1Q0lgx

[Lizzie Johnson @lizziejohnsonnn]

Getting to follow in the footsteps of so many Washington Post correspondents — who have been at the front lines of some of the world’s biggest moments — has been an honor. We are still here, still writing history.

I hope that doesn’t change.

On this day 40 years ago, I covered the launch of space shuttle Challenger for @BostonGlobe. On this anniversary, I returned to the story for @washingtonpost and found an engineer who tried to stop the launch still spreading the lesson of that tragic day. https://t.co/4WoHeDt399

[David Lauter @DavidLauter]

40 years later, a new look at lessons from the Challenger disaster. Christa McAuliffe’s shuttle flight as NASA's “teacher in space” lasted 73 seconds. @PostKranish, who witnessed the tragedy, found an engineer still trying to teach its lessons. https://t.co/lxxlW4VLYW
