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.

@MoCoMikeE Yeah I was pretty outraged to get an opinion piece via the same channel that lets me know about trash collection.

We’re losing middle & moderate income folks in Montgomery County. The cause: the cost of housing. That’s why the Planning Commission was asked by the County Council to propose our recommended solutions: the Attainable Housing Strategies. We want Moco to be a place for everyone!

@smartz0 @jenny_schuetz If we keep waiting neither will happen. We have to build for the future we want.

[Jennifer A. Stoloff @j_stoloff]

@smartz0 @jenny_schuetz Then we can build the bike and mass transit infrastructure so fewer people have to depend on cars.

[Jennifer A. Stoloff @j_stoloff]

@smartz0 @jenny_schuetz It’s allowed but not required. Allows for a lot more development flexibility.

[Jennifer A. Stoloff @j_stoloff]

@danbertolet @jenny_schuetz You’re right. They got it in as emergency legislation and then codified it. But had to drop the max number of units to 4. 6+ puts you into commercial appraisal system.

@paulisci Do you know Norbert Elias’s work? I think you might find it interesting. https://t.co/d0Vm97v34I

@joshmbowsher Sociology. You can do quantitative work or qualitative work. You can study theory. You can study organizations, families, power structures, urban issues (including housing), stratification, gender, culture, sex/sexualities, etc.

@PJoice Is this the last time we did a success rates study? I didn’t work on it but I was already at HUD.

[Jennifer A. Stoloff @j_stoloff]

@actfortransit I have a bike you can use. DM me.

@kmfullertonrico Was just thinking about this today. Thank you for expressing it so clearly. One person at my round table had to drop out due to visa problems. Being in Canada seems to have had the opposite of the intended impact.

@willjawando @KamalaHarris Thank you!

[Jennifer A. Stoloff @j_stoloff]

@DMVEnergyVoices It also pollutes three times as much.

[Jennifer A. Stoloff @j_stoloff]

@actfortransit Let me count the ways this is wrong!

[Jennifer A. Stoloff @j_stoloff]

@actfortransit @PurpleLineMD @MDOTNews Is that the section that’s all torn up now? But yes why not make crossing safer? There are no true blocks here anyway.

[Jennifer A. Stoloff @j_stoloff]

@actfortransit @PurpleLineMD I hope the Purple Line is truly accessible for folks living in the area. But what a contrast to the downtown Silver Spring library construction. One street has been closed/limited access for ages but construction hasn’t shut down the entire area.

[Jennifer A. Stoloff @j_stoloff]

@actfortransit @PurpleLineMD It’s so irresponsible. I’m infuriated every time I have to drive this stretch. And once I was here on bike and I was terrified. Google Maps bike directions sent me down Piney Branch!
