Dan Eggen was a reporter’s editor — smart, indefatigable and fearless. He made your prose pop and was proud for you to shine. And he made sure you had fun. His passing is gutting, for his family and all who were lucky enough to work with him. https://t.co/1sKsv7Ivpy

[Susan Glasser @sbg1]

Quite a contrast

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

A Texan who has always voted a straight Republican ticket—and who voted for Donald Trump in 2024—told Peter Slevin that he is done with Republicans. https://t.co/P7CAs4v4jX

Honestly, this seemed like Pete Hegseth imitating Colin Jost imitating Pete Hegseth

[Anne Barnard @ABarnardNYC]

Madness that @washingtonpost dismantled this irreplaceable team a couple weeks ago.

[Suzanne Kianpour Angus @KianpourWorld]

Today is the kind of day where it’s very clear why we need foreign correspondents with extensive experience on the ground. The network coverage I’m watching is only illumining because of their boots on the ground in the region not the political talking heads.

[Susan Glasser @sbg1]

Yes

[Susan Glasser @sbg1]

Just a note to say how grateful we are for the important crucial work of the Washington Post foreign staff, bringing ground truth about what's happening in the world to a hometown that desperately needs it.

No struggling newspaper ever saved itself by becoming a worse and less essential product. But what's happening today at the @washingtonpost is not just the latest devastating contraction of the news industry; it's the gutting of an American institution vital for a healthy society

[Peter Slevin @peterdslevin]

The public inventions of @stephenM and @JDVance two of the most powerful leaders of the Trump administration. Do you believe them or what you've seen with your own eyes?

[Amanda Litman @amandalitman]

I am so grateful for every observer making sure ICE’s crimes are witnessed and documented. They’re immeasurably brave patriots.

Things that everyone should know about Donald Trump from @ddale8, a truth-teller who knows him all too well

[Mary Bruce @marykbruce]

Thank you @peterbakernyt!

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

It may be repeating the obvious, but @marykbruce is a first-rate reporter. In the face of a presidential tirade aimed at silencing her, she calmly and professionally showed why a free, independent media remains essential, asking questions that powerful people don't want to answer

JB Pritzker has some thoughts about the man he calls "the modern embodiment of tyranny"

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

“The federal government is working against the people of the United States.” In a new interview, the Illinois governor, J. B. Pritzker, talks about why it’s imperative to speak out and stop Donald Trump’s tyranny in its tracks: https://t.co/prOMscWn5D

[Susan Glasser @sbg1]

Perhaps question is better rephrased — Why do you keep suggesting that you would seek to remain in office for a third term despite the Constitution’s clear ban? Why are you misleading your supporters and the American public that this is a possibility?

[Peter Slevin @peterdslevin]

The Texas Democrats can't stop Trump and Abbott, but they have a story they want us to hear. Rep. Gina Hinojosa: “The only way that we have any hope of getting out of this is if every freedom-loving American does everything in their power to push back.” https://t.co/j5dzwVLm7C
