What a heartwarming story. Little Aoife has been through so much. Great to see she got to enjoy her communion

Reporting from war zones and faraway places is invaluable, though expensive as Jeff Bezos and other media owners know. Let's hope the WaPo's foreign staff is allowed to continue to shed light on
global issues. Dismantling it means Democracy Dies in Darkness.

[Lizzie Johnson @lizziejohnsonnn]

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

[Jennifer Hassan @GuinnessKebab]

My job is no more 💔
This spring would have marked 10 years at The Washington Post. All I can think about is the stories that won't get told now. The voices that won't be heard. The questions that won't be asked.

My colleagues deserve better. So do our readers.

[Siobhán O'Grady @siobhan_ogrady]

It’s been the honor of my life to serve as Washington Post bureau chief in Ukraine. ❤️‍🩹

[Carole (Ducky) @IrPsych]

Is @sharontobin tiny or is
@RTENewsPaulC very very tall? 😁

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said due diligence was done on Jim Gavin, but the issue involving €3,300 being owed to a former tenant was "probably buried somewhere in the recesses of his mind" | Follow live https://t.co/YKZjl4Q0Ly

[Barry Lenihan @BarryLenihan]

Fianna Fáil presidential candidate Jim Gavin says online smears against him are ‘very personal in nature & potentially politically motivated’

He tells @sharontobin he must take stand for family & friends

‘This is not good enough & has to stop’

Hopes X & Tik Tok take down posts

[Daniel Mulhall @DanMulhall]

I look forward to being on @rtenews later to review today’s events in Washington as @MichealMartinTD meets @realDonaldTrump. There’s a lot to talk about.
