Sorry, Chico. You are the man and your reporting is top notch. Thinking of you, your colleagues, your service to our democracy, and our democracy today. #goorange
My 17 years at the Washington Post ended today with an email saying my job had been “eliminated.” So many of the people I know got similar emails. I am heartbroken for my colleagues and this horrible, beautiful industry.
In July, Stephen Richer lost the Republican primary for reelection. Reflecting on what he’s endured over nearly four years, Richer says he has “seen some ugliness in the character of human beings.” https://t.co/NVWgW4nfDn
The Greatest. My favorite.
My 1st game was 12/4/92. A close win over GSW. Dikembe was mesmerizing. Fell in love with the game that night. All the lessons & rewards it brings - all from watching him. A life changer.
A true king. Best to his fam & all the lives he touched.
It’s hard to believe 57 years in Oakland ends this week. What’s sad is after this generation of fans, the Oakland A’s won’t mean anything to anyone anymore
I worked with Rick for 10 years. A legend. The most dogged reporter I have ever seen. And a good friend. He was tireless, fair, and feared by wrong-doers. No obit will ever do him justice. Just like every story he ever worked on, we’d all be fighting for it to have more time.
@MarcSallinger@ricksallinger Sorry for your loss, Marc. Your dad is a legend. One of the greats. He beamed when talking about a good story, but never more than when he’d mention your budding career. He was always so proud of you. I feel so lucky to have known and learned from him.
