Just want to take a minute to mark a huge moment in DC. The legendary @danbalz is retiring from full-time work at the @washingtonpost after 47 remarkable years. I had the great privilege of sitting next to Dan in the Post newsroom and working with him for years. He is the last of a generation of gold-standard political reporters who inspired all of us who have followed. You will never find a smarter, wiser, fairer, more insightful, more generous, more thoroughly decent colleague. He is a follow-the-facts, knock-on-every-door reporter who manages to be open minded and tough minded at the same time. In a flash-and-bang era, Dan showed us day in and day out that there is no substitute for hard work and expertise. @mikeallen writes that Dan is "known for civility and rigor," which is absolutely right. Plus he's the nicest guy in the business. I've always wanted to be Dan Balz when I grow up, but the truth is there's only one and we will miss his byline in the paper.

Mi papá, el periodista #JoseRubénZamora, no está solo. Hoy, figuras clave del periodismo y la literatura como @sergioramirezm @PepaBueno @aristeguicnn/@AristeguiOnline @PostBaron @jmahrens y @cefeche lo visitaron en la cárcel para exigir su liberación.
Está detenido arbitrariamente por denunciar la corrupción y decir la verdad. Su encarcelamiento es una venganza y una amenaza que busca silenciar voces incómodas.
Gracias a quienes lo acompañaron hoy. Su visita es más que un acto de solidaridad: es un grito de justicia. elpais.com/america/2025-05-2… @C_SMaldonado @el_pais #ZamoraLibre

On political endorsement wapo.st/3YmeD3T
This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.

Defamation lawsuits have become the weapon of choice to harass, intimidate and possibly annihilate media outlets, saddling them with crushing legal expenses merely to defend solid investigative work. It's likely to get even worse. nytimes.com/2024/06/14/opini…

BREAKING: A Pasig court acquits Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Rappler CEO Maria Ressa and Rappler Holdings Corporation in their 5th tax case on Tuesday, Sept. 12.
The acquittal comes 8 months after the Court of Tax Appeals also acquitted them in 4 tax cases. @rapplerdotcom
