This is the text of the Post columnists' statement, for those hitting the paywall:
The Washington Post’s decision not to make an endorsement in the presidential campaign is a terrible mistake. It represents an abandonment of the fundamental editorial convictions of the newspaper that we love. This is a moment for the institution to be making clear its commitment to democratic values, the rule of law and international alliances, and the threat that Donald Trump poses to them — the precise points The Post made in endorsing Trump’s opponents in 2016 and 2020. There is no contradiction between The Post’s important role as an independent newspaper and its practice of making political endorsements, both as a matter of guidance to readers and as a statement of core beliefs. That has never been more true than in the current campaign. An independent newspaper might someday choose to back away from making presidential endorsements. But this isn’t the right moment, when one candidate is advocating positions that directly threaten freedom of the press and the values of the Constitution.

Feels important to note that the president of the union leading the port strike has a long-standing relationship with Trump and is causing major damage to a roaring economy five weeks before the election.

Meat prices increased by double digits.

Tyson’s CEO says they’re asking customers to “pay for inflation.”

Meanwhile, Tyson’s posted $1 billion in profits last quarter — a 48% increase from the first quarter of 2021.

Don't be fooled. This is about corporate greed. It always is.

Anyone else noticing a huge surge in spam/scam text messages or did the scammers just finally get my phone number somehow?

Chipotle: 26% profit increase. Raising prices.

Starbucks: 31% profit increase. Raising prices.

McDonalds: 59% profit increase. Raising prices.

Shell/Mobile/BP: 60% profit increase. Raising prices.

There's not a labor shortage.
This isn't inflation.
It is 100% corporate greed.

@MCDOTNow @MontgomeryCoMD @MyGreenMC @311MC311 lots of excess salt on Sligo Creek Parkway between Univeristy Blvd and Forest Glen Road.

@CharDreizen @LydiaSnider I assume these all refer to DC collected items? My experience with private haulers in DC is that they collect all bins in one truck which obviously isn't sorted down the line- all to the landfill.

Another bright sunny day with @Metrorailinfo lights blazing away at Forest Glen, why so wasteful?
