I keep getting asked what it’s like at The Washington Post.

Yes, it’s a hard time. We had terrible layoffs 3 months ago today — cuts I mourn daily.

But we’re still working. Still reporting. Still doing our best to break news and hold power to account.

One of America's great writers, at the height of his powers.

⁦@dugganwapo⁩’s last WaPo piece before being laid off is the kind of intricate masterpiece he has been writing since joining the paper in 1987. He is a newspaper original, a reporter at the top of the craft. https://t.co/TcZyYzEOoE

Many Post international stories wouldn't have been possible without our local colleagues. They braved the same risks as correspondents, but without the same protections. They now need help to weather the uncertainty to come. Please consider donating.

It was a privilege to be a Post correspondent, roaming the world the last 7+ years for a paper I very much believed in. I'm gone along with the rest of the ME team and majority of teammates from Delhi to Beijing to Kyiv & Latam. Sad day, but it was a lot of fun and we raised hell

[Terrence McCoy @terrence_mccoy]

I'm devastated and gutted by seeing so many of my Post colleagues -- journalism stars who bled for this institution and mission -- laid off today. It's unfair and surreal. How can so much talent be so squandered? I'm sick about it. These are the best of us.

[Siobhán O'Grady @siobhan_ogrady]

For nearly a century, @washingtonpost foreign correspondents have been on the frontlines of wars, pandemics, economic crises, civil uprisings and so much more. Washington needs us. The world needs us. If you read us and need us, please watch and share.

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

Had the great privilege of working at @washingtonpost for 20 years. It isn't just a newspaper but an indispensable part of America. Its journalists are brave & brilliant, among the best in the world. No paper ever got better by shrinking its ambitions. @JeffBezos #SaveThePost

[David Ignatius @IgnatiusPost]

On a Washington Post online chat with readers today, the first question was about what's ahead for our beloved newspaper. Here's my answer, which the Post published online:

I can't confirm the rumors because I don't know what management is planning. But as a 40-year veteran of The Post and former foreign editor, I want to celebrate the news coverage the paper's reporters have delivered and hope that despite the rumors we hold tight to what made The Post a great newspaper. I came to The Post when the now-legendary Tony Kornheiser, Mike Wilbon and Tom Boswell were our sportswriters. I was foreign editor when our brave reporter Caryle Murphy won a Pulitzer for her coverage of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait (most other reporters fled; she stayed), and when David Remnick was our Moscow correspondent. I could go on, but the point is that there is a chain of excellence in our coverage of foreign news, sports and everything else that matters that's very precious and impossible to replace. We were always more frugal in our reporting expenses than the NYT or WSJ, and in tough times for The Post financially, that needs to continue. But as someone who loves The Post, I want it to remain a powerful, strong, global newspaper.

@BrinkOvlov Interesting!

Volkswagen participated in one of the world’s first grand experiments in globalization half a century ago, partnering with Brazil’s authoritarian regime to develop the Amazon — and pressing poor, unwitting workers into service in the distant rainforest. https://t.co/iGheQmByvY

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

It sometimes seemed to Ricardo Rezende as if no one still remembered what had happened at Volkswagen’s cattle ranch in the Brazilian Amazon — the forced labor, the torture and violence, the deception and horror.

But Rezende did. He’d recorded it all. https://t.co/iGheQmByvY

NEW: As Trump vows to eliminate birthright citizenship, we go inside the obscure "birth tourism" industry sending what could be thousands of women every year into the U.S. to birth to their children and secure for them U.S. citizenship.

The PCC wants him dead. The prosecutor now lives behind a security blanket that rivals that of a Brazilian president, erasing any semblance of a normal life. I spent week's inside Lincoln Gakiya's bunker to understand how he and his family survives a stress few can understand.
