    Today I got to experience a career North Star. I was honored with the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service along with my incredible Washington Post colleagues for our coverage of DOGE. Too many to name here but love you and hats off to us @jstein_star @jacobbogage @faizsays

    BREAKING: Twitter just slapped a warning label on Trump’s tweets for the first time.
    There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed. The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone.....

    SCOOP: Elon Musk told investors he planned to cut 75% of Twitter’s workforce, gutting to a skeleton staff of 2,000. Also, Peter Thiel and Reid Hoffman passed on the Twitter deal. Via me @faizsays @GerritD @jeremybmerrill

    EXCLUSIVE: FB knew its hate speech algorithms disproportionately harmed Blacks and other minorities - but kept that info from its own civil rights auditor, new docs show. At one point 90% of autodeletions were comments attacking whites and men.

    A day after the officer who shot Breonna Taylor wasn’t indicted, Facebook employees face disciplinary action if they acknowledge her in a profile pic. Workers of color are LIVID over the new no political profile policy — especially cause Zuck said it was about protecting them.

    An Amazon worker in Spain told me and @greene that there were two confirmed COVID cases in his warehouse and they believed the workplace was a hotspot. Instead of quarantining the workers, Amazon effectively told them to use more sanitizer.

    One of the stranger things that has happened to me in my journalistic career.

    NEW: For months now I’ve been working on a big story about Peter Thiel. What started as a piece about why he left Facebook morphed into an examination of his ambitions to be an architect of the new American right. Lots of new reporting here.

    NEW: Sheryl Sandberg went out of her way to blame other platforms & deflect attention from FB for organizing the rally. But there’s ample proof of FB’s role, from coordinating bus trips to fliers calling for insurrection. And #stopthesteal is everywhere.
