Just a few examples of news our @washingtonpost team worked hard to deliver to the public today — - SSA to cut staff in half - Labor Dept. EEO office to get cut by 90% - IRS closing 110+ leases amid mass cancellations www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Massive encroachment by Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section - makes clear dissenting views will not be published I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know

WaPo journalism: “This account of how the Trump administration’s firings played out over the weekend… is based on interviews and messages with more than 275 federal workers, as well as dozens of government records and communications reviewed by” the WaPo. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

I obtained documents revealing DOGE’s private plans to soon eliminate at least hundreds of government workers and offices they somehow tag as related to diversity, equity and inclusion. Help us keep doing this kind of reporting: message me on Signal at (202) 580-5477. wapo.st/4jVWqEd

Tens of thousands of feds are being fired. Please, if you're a fired fed or a fed whose colleagues were fired, help us report what the consequences will be for the American public: Hannah signal (202) 580-5477 Emily signal (202) 412-9091 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

WASHPOST: The Trump administration has directed agency heads to fire most trial period and probationary staff within two days, taking aim at many of the roughly 200,000 people hired by the federal government within the last two years www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

This is how federal workers are being treated www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

SCOOP: Elon Musk’s DOGE is feeding sensitive federal data from the Education Department into AI to target cuts. DOGE was also responsible for placing 100+ non-DEI employees on leave for DEI www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

NEW: DOGE agents now inside OPM systems have the ability to alter, delete or export sensitive personal data for MILLIONS of feds & people who applied to gov jobs — or even add new files — and can turn off internal auditing that tracks their activity www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

NEW: Trump prepping order to dismantle Education Dept as DOGE gains access to sensitive internal systems, including a dataset with the personal information for millions enrolled in the federal student aid program. w/ @laurameckler.bsky.social & Danielle DG www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

After threats against schools exploded last year, police arrested hundreds of students. This is the story of what happened in one Florida county where the sheriff perp walked, and publicly shamed, children as young as 11. w/ @hannahnatanson.bsky.social: www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

“Everyone was so scared,” a 10-year-old of Mexican descent who was inside the school told me, “because we didn’t know if it was a shooter or the immigration police.” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
