The @washingtonpost is one of the few remaining American newspapers with a robust foreign reporting staff. Eliminating it to save money would come at the cost of an informed citizenry, something that has never been more important. @JeffBezos #SaveThePost

I have worked closely with Local reporters and editors over the years. Council stories, union stories, tipping stories. There is nothing this team can’t do. They are the unsung heroes at The Post. #SaveThePost

Staffers at the Washington Post’s local section have sent the letter below to owner Jeff Bezos. The request: “Don’t eliminate our jobs.”

I am of course a print-media obsessive, but the web is made for this sort of interactive explainer, and no one does it better than the NYT #PennStation nytimes.com/interactive/2025…

Why Can’t New York Fix Penn Station?

The nation’s busiest transit hub stands as a symbol of a condition that afflicts so many attempts to get big things done in America: inertia.

Really good video about the current state of Penn Station, and what it would really take to fix it: nytimes.com/video/nyregion/1… Here's the full article (gift link):  nytimes.com/interactive/2025…

Video: Why Can’t We Fix Penn Station?

The biggest thing holding Penn Station back from a much-needed rehaul is what’s on top of it: Madison Square Garden.

it's barely snowed in New York City this year, so what's the deal with the salt on the streets? @NYTpatrick has all the answers and many fun facts. (photo, improbably, by me) nytimes.com/2025/03/05/nyreg…

Why Did New York’s Streets Seem Extra Salty This Winter? (Published 2025)

The city didn’t actually spread more salt than usual. But it may have seemed that way, according to the Sanitation Department, because there was less snow and rain.

An explosion at a substation in June caused just one in a series of disruptions along the Northeast Corridor this summer. Upgrades would come at enormous cost and take more than a decade.

There are more than 8,500 sidewalk sheds along New York City's streets. End to end, they would stretch from Manhattan to Montreal. They are meant to be temporary, but nearly 1,000 of the sheds have been in place for more than three years. nyti.ms/3Ug64FA

How is @NJTRANSIT CEO #KevinCorbett unavailable for an interview after more than a month of formal requests, during a time of historic rate increases and concern by working people over impact on their lives? A gaggle after a meeting is insufficient for a statewide transit agency.
