You failed, mate. You epically, monumentally failed, and showed yourself to be a coward in the process. Hope the Super Bowl is brilliant.

[Barry Svrluga @barrysvrluga]

Well, folks, I leave for Cortina today. I haven't had much to say on the state of things for us. More to come, I'm sure.

For now, here's a way to reach out to the people making decisions about the Post's future.

Hello from Milan, where I’ll be covering the Winter Olympics for @washingtonpost. I suspect it will be a weird few days, but I plan to work through the chaos. It’s what our Olympics crew has always done – it’s what our incredible sports department has always done.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

The Washington Post has the best sports section in the country, and I don’t think it’s particularly close. Only a soulless corporate goon would think the paper is better without it. A short-sighted, cowardly decision. Shame is your legacy.

[Lizzie Johnson @lizziejohnsonnn]

Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.)

But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

Two of the strongest parts of the @washingtonpost are its international and sports coverage. They have amazing must-read writers. If they are gutted by Bezos's publisher, it would be one of the most self-destructive acts in American journalism in years. Praying it's not true.

[Chico Harlan @chicoharlan]

The Wash Post has had correspondents overseas since MacArthur was in Tokyo, through Saigon and the fall of Berlin Wall. David Remnick, Steve Coll, Stephanie McCrummen, Peter Osnos, Anthony Shadid, @peterbakernyt … and the reporting continues.

NEWS: The Washington Post's foreign correspondents, including those in Ukraine, are pleading with Jeff Bezos not to slash the paper's coverage of the world. "We urge you to consider how the proposed layoffs will certainly lead us first to irrelevance and later extinction."

[Jane Mayer @JaneMayerNYer]

Another red line crossed:

[Dan Lamothe @DanLamothe]

There looks to be a coordinated reaction to The Post's reporting today that falsely accuses the paper of publishing specific security vulnerabilities.

Reaction like this comes after a string of undisputed WaPo scoops that have detailed dysfunction on Secretary Hegseth's team.

@cpagility Great, thanks, my email is [email protected] if you want to pass along your number

@Messylifemama Hi, I'm a reporter at The Washington Post and I wanted to see if I could speak with you about the storm and your video?

[Steve Fisher @Stevelfisher]

As an ex-Mennonite who investigates drug trafficking in Mexico for a living, I've never felt more qualified to do a story than this one: Franz Kauenhofen, deeply in debt, and excommunicated for owning a smartphone, becomes a ruthless drug trafficker. https://t.co/NfzdEx7fYS

Amid the thin air and meager soil of a desert mountaintop, this pine tree has endured for 200 years.

Then came 2023 - the hottest year on record - and the tree abruptly stopped growing. Its wood contains a powerful warning about the future of the Earth.
