NEWS: The cuts were so severe that at least one department head asked to leave The Post rather than be included in the planning.
Peter Finn, The Post's international editor, requested that he be laid off once he learned about the scope of the cuts to his section.

New: Susan Collins raised more from AIPAC donors last year than small donors.
We asked her campaign about it. They hung up.
Last year, we asked if she knew how many Americans the Israeli military had killed.
She replied: “I am pro-Israel.”

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.
Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

A PSA for the ⚪ folks on this app. This says, "historical" but ask any Black person, many still are.
When I traveled by car through Washington State and Oregon for the first time, I asked Black woman at the desk in the motel what towns to avoid on my trip.

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake
And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.
The person who publishes the Free Press — where the words “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota” never appear tonight — also runs CBS News.
