I am repeating myself, but I’m doing it for a reason. We need this kind of reporting and the Washington Post is still delivering it.

It took 20 years, but I granted my dad his last wish When I found out my dad’s last wish was for his family to ride in El Tour de Tucson, I took up the challenge.

A deeply personal one from me. Hug the ones you have and remember those who love you:

In deadly D.C. plane crash, city lights may have played a role. See how. The Post examined the bright skyline around Reagan National Airport and whether it may have been a factor in the January accident, which killed 67 people.

From our executive editor

Did the Trump administration commit a war crime in its attack on a Venezuelan boat? Washington Post reporter Alex Horton talks about the Sept. 2 U.S. military strike on a boat with alleged "narco terrorists," in which a second strike was ordered to kill two survivors in the water.

I went on @nprfreshair.bsky.social with Terry Gross to lay out what we know and don’t know about the administration’s second deadly strike on Sept 2, which killed two survivors in the Caribbean www.npr.org/2025/12/03/n...

Saudi crown prince to meet Trump in White House, shedding pariah status The de facto Saudi ruler was branded a pariah in 2018 after the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Now, U.S.-Saudi relations are approaching a high point.

The CIA concluded MBS ordered the 2018 killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Biden began his rehabilitation. Now he's getting a White House meeting with Trump @sgreports.bsky.social and @mbirnbaum.bsky.social report

Peter Hujar’s day is a very good film about attention span

Trump administration uses misleading videos to portray chaos, push deportations Official videos purporting to show the triumph of recent immigration operations used footage that was years old or recorded thousands of miles away, a Washington Post analysis found.

Scoop: The Trump admin's videos boasting triumphs on immigration have used misleading footage from months ago or thousands of miles away

When we showed them the errors, DHS said they make a lot of videos and the White House said it'll keep making "banger memes"
