@siobhan_ogrady @washingtonpost What a masterful, gut-wrenching piece it is. No more telling example of what the Post has lost, not only in you but in the many others who made this happen--after all.

@LivPetersen So disheartened to see this tweeted out. I’ve heard no ‘former’ wish anything but the best to those still in The Post newsroom— and until now same in the other direction. Knowing how assiduously Posties’ tweets are policed, the snark in this one must be intentional.

I loved working with ⁦@jeremymbarr at @washingtonpost but I’m glad he’s now free and able to lay out this damning account of disastrous leadership. https://t.co/wJp2zOcJNd

@JulieWestfall @farhip @washingtonpost We were gutted. 64% of the tech/media team were laid off. I think the toll was similar on the biz team.

[james graff @lathram]

@PeterWhoriskey @washingtonpost So sorry to hear. One of the smartest guys in the newsroom and a delightful colleague

[james graff @lathram]

@aaronwiener Just gutting. So sorry

[james graff @lathram]

@vanessahlarson @ScottNover @loriamontgomery @SobelFitts Sorry to hear that! You’ve been great and wish you the best of luck

[james graff @lathram]

The layoffs at the Washington Post are an occasion for me to end my 45-year journalism career. I'm grateful to @loriamontgomery and @SobelFitts for letting me cap it at the Post; we didn't expect such tumult. 2/3 of one of the best tech teams in journalism is in play; hire them!

New: Here's a chart of the top conservative / progressive accounts on X. See that small blue dot at the top? That's @Acyn. His fast-cut clips of political combat get hundreds of millions more views than major news sources - and basically no one knows who he is. So I profiled him.

@Josef_Seibel I bought these shoes in September 2024 and now in March 2025 the sole is splitting. Quite shocked. Soll das deutsche Qualität sein?

@wstrobel Wow, congratulations, Warren. You’re a combo of Quincy Hall and Jeremiah Johnson.

@paulwsj @SMeichtry No small part because of the steadfast attention of the WSJ and @paulwsj in keeping the pressure up. Such a great moment.
