CALL TO ACTION: Since last Friday, when management at the Washington Post ended presidential endorsements, readers have sent thousands of letters condemning the decision.
Help us reach our 10,000 letter goal to ensure management hears us loud and clear:https://t.co/khe8OmHhqF
Tonight, two more members of the @latimes editorial board, Robert Greene and Karin Klein, resigned—one day after their boss, editorials editor Mariel Garza, did so. https://t.co/ZVQwweEjP7
Meanwhile this Los Angeles Times news report about The Los Angeles Times' owner blocking the paper's endorsement of Kamala Harris and then refuting his daughter's claims about the decision is *wild.*
Baltimore’s Corned Beef Row (1000 block of East Lombard St.) is in the area where Jewish settlers originally moved. There are still a couple of delis left – Attman’s and Weiss’s. I had heard the area called Jewtown so I guess they cleaned up the pejorative aspect of the name by renaming it Corned Beef Row.
I remember walking along Lombard St. in the 1970s and peering into a storefront where they had live chickens.
There are now two delis left on Lombard St. – Attman’s and Weiss’s. Attman’s looks like it did in the 1970s when I moved here. Look at the photos of old politicians in the inside pictures on Yelp.
At Attman’s, you go through a cafeteria-style line to order. You can eat in a small dining room.
Attman’s has a new location at Harbor Point. It’s very modern with a bar and waiters. It’s more expensive but the food is still excellent.
The other deli is the Weiss Deli Weiss’s has all the atmosphere of your high school cafeteria. See the Yelp photos. Unlike Attman’s, they are not on any delivery services as far as I can tell. The menu is much smaller but the food is good.
Inside @washingtonpost's newsroom, which operates separately from the opinion department, "people who are thinking about the prospect of covering a second Trump presidency are concerned that the owner won't have our backs," a staffer tells me
To the dozens and dozens of readers who have reached out over the last 24 hours I am very sad to see you go but am touched more than I can say by your words and your loyalty. If I did not respond personally, it is because the volume has gotten out of hand. But I have read each…

I sometimes share my #readermail on this site. A different genre has arisen in the past 24 hours: a deluge of sad farewells from loyal readers. A few examples here. pic.twitter.com/Lk2Qe8np2T
Current list of WaPo opinion writers who have protested the owner's cowardly decision not to endorse. If this were actually a decision "of principle," they could have announced it two years ago. Instead of following the James Comey model of election-year timing.
A friend who works for #WaPo marketing dept says there's a #WaPoMeltDown in their business unit following the news as digital subscriptions cancellations have hit 60k barely 8 hrs after decision not to endorse. Cancellation rate is unprecedented and we're barely 24 hours into it. pic.twitter.com/9qefA3TNKI
Scoop: Washington Post editor at large Robert Kagan confirms to me that he resigned from the Post following today's decision not to endorse in the presidential race. https://t.co/as86U0hYqh
The Washington Post's decision not to endorse in the presidential race is "an abandonment of the fundamental editorial convictions of the newspaper that we love." A statement from me and other longtime Post columnists: https://t.co/WmYamYmIEb
They’re caving into Trump before he is even elected. Trump will perceive this as a weakness and punish them if he becomes president and they dare to criticize him. What these rich newspaper owners have done is shameful.
When I was an editor at the Chicago Tribune, I'd tell colleagues that our product wasn't ink on paper or words on an iPhone. It was credibility. That's what we were selling. Credibility. To see the Washington Post flush away its credibility by kowtowing to Trumpism is crushing.

Rampell: So yougov polled Americans on policies from both of the candidates and didn't tell the survey respondents whose policies were whose.. the general finding was that Kamala Harris’ agenda was head and shoulders much more popular than Trump's pic.twitter.com/f9OhkSlSLX
If you watch just one thing today, see this. A compelling explanation of the impact of Trump vs Harris economic policies on the overall economy and working families. 👇🏼 https://t.co/GgvOXRyKWJ
Sister Annette Marshall: “I’ve never heard us accused of fraud. … Or not existing.” The GOP barrage of imaginary voter fraud nonsense has very much begun: https://t.co/yetP68WLA5
Counting ballots takes time, and it’s not evidence of election fraud if a state doesn’t report a winner on election night. But some social media posts are already claiming without evidence that “the cheat has begun.” https://t.co/DQIoW1TygR
