The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

I’ll think about your suggestion, Michelle. The Washington Post was the first newspaper I subscribed to, starting in my first week of college. This situation is truly heartbreaking for me. I have immense respect for the journalists at the Post and want to continue supporting them.

I am a subscriber to your paper. I was a subscriber in the Print Edition, when I was studying and working in Washington, DC. To censor @anntelnaes.bsky.social for depicting what is visible, proves that we cannot have confidence in your reporting anymore. It's heartbreaking. bsky.app/profile/stra...

I was disappointed when Bezos pressured the @washingtonpost.com to not endorse Kamala Harris, but kept my subscription. To censor Ann Telnaes @anntelnaes.bsky.social forcing her to resign tells me that I can't have confidence in the ability of the newspaper to report on the incoming administration.
