I’m heartbroken, but still deeply committed to telling the most important stories of our time. If you’re looking for a dogged reporter with experience in international, national, and climate coverage, I’m at [email protected].

Like so many of my talented colleagues, I was laid off from The Washington Post this week. I grew up at The Post — eight years among inspiring writers, cartographers, animators, video and photo journalists, and editors.

Look at this, a team effort between a Wash Post foreign correspondent and a sportswriter — both representing sections about to be gutted by @JeffBezos. It's about a Milanese revolt against ICE's presence at the Olympics. wapo.st/3LZUTRw

Hi @JeffBezos. We will never forget your support for our essential work documenting the war in Ukraine, which still rages. Your wife has called our team “badass beacons of hope.” We risk our lives for the stories our readers demand. Please believe in us and #SaveThePost.

U.S. wildfires are getting worse in a place that might surprise you. (Hint: hurricanes have something to do with it.) @RubyMellen traveled there, and teamed up with @brady_dennis to capture what it's like as the blazes rage washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

“In this environment of surveillance, Syrians improvised. They developed a code allowing them to discuss everything from everyday commerce to fears for their families, even veiled criticisms of the regime.“ @RubyMellen & @MohamdEch on speech under Assad wapo.st/3ZMZut3

When it comes to setting the thermostat for rentals, U.S. landlords have to make sure they stay warm enough in winter. But few places compel them to ensure they stay cool in summer. There's a fight on to change that. By @RubyMellen and @philipcheungphoto washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

It is so hot out West right now that medical helicopters, which are critical to make emergency rescues there, can't fly under some circumstances. Read this sobering dispatch from @RubyMellen washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…
