Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states.See if you can spot it! /sThen you can find today's story on p A23

🧵 Imagine living in a county without reporters—no one covering school board meetings, local clinics, even zoning decisions. That’s reality for over 1,000 U.S. counties. Ohio now has just 7.9 local journalists per 100k residents down from ~40 in 2002. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/14/w…

Once again, if you're wondering why Bezos doesn't seem bothered that he's wrecking The Post, keep in mind that he spent twice what The Post cost him just on his boat.He can afford to wreck this toy. All those lives and careers where just playthings for him.

Of the flow of talent from the Post, this one is maybe the hardest to take. Rampell packed data and evidence and deep policy knowledge into the format of an opinion column. At once clarifying and sophisticated. (And her last column is also terrific advice about writing).

And, uh, some personal news: This is also my last column for The Post. I was offered and accepted a buyout. To answer one possible next question, I'm not sure what's next save taking some time off. If you want, you can enter your email at pbump.net and I'll let you know when I figure it out!

This is really terrible: Davidson had one specific beat, which was understanding the federal workforce. It is a huge loss, and speaks poorly to how things are going at the Post.

This email says the Washington Post opinion page will promote “timeless American values,” which has previously been defined as right-wing claptrap. All Washington Post journalists not “aligned” with the decision to promote those values are now being told to leave.

Lots of brilliant colleagues mark the ends of their Post careers today. But the special thing about this newsroom is its incredible spirit of camaraderie and friendship. Every legend who leaves has mentored countless others who are going to take up the baton. Underestimate us at your own peril.

The Washington Post is losing its world class fact checker. Glenn Kessler tried “to arrange a short-term contract that would have given the editors time to find a worthy successor and allow me to train him or her.”But Jeff Bezos’ WaPo is lost. #Journalism http://www.linkedin.com/posts/glennk…

ABC News is cutting ties with the correspondent Terry Moran after he posted derisive comments online that referred to both President Trump and Stephen Miller, with the term “world-class hater.”

BREAKING: Terry Moran is out at ABC News. "We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew," an ABC spokesperson says.

President Donald Trump on Sunday declined to rule out seeking a third presidential term — an unconstitutional act explicitly barred under the 22nd Amendment — saying that “there are methods which you could do it.”

Materials on the Arlington National Cemetery website highlighting the graves of Black and female service members have vanished. The cemetery, which is operated by the Army, said it was working to restore the content. Among the obscured pages was material about civil rights.

— The New York Times (@nytimes.com) 2025-03-15T13:45:06.844Z

They didn't lose them. That sounds like they misplaced them. This was a deliberate effort to comply with Trump's disgusting policies. I assumed the only reason they are restoring them is public outcry.

RIP, WaPo. Just the saddest screenshots to get. An absolute abandonment of the principles of accountability of the powerful, justice, democracy, human rights, and accurate information that previously animated the section in favor of a white male billionaire’s self-interested agenda.
