Paris Bureau Chief, The Wall Street Journal.

Paris, France
A nice tribute to my friend and mentor John L. Allen Jr. of @Crux and Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, CA. The man towered over the rest of us. I will miss him.
John L. Allen Jr., the editor-in-chief of @Crux whose decades-long career in journalism defined him as one of the authoritative voices on the Vatican and the Catholic Church, died Thursday, Jan. 22. He was 61. Read more about his life and work: osvnews.com/crux-editor-vete…

Unearthing this tweet from @evangershkovich, the last one he wrote before his unjust detention. So much has transpired since you were gone. Welcome back, Evan.
Prigozhin has worn out the patience of much of the Kremlin establishment but maintains the backing of Yuri Kovalchuk, a close friend of Putin and a power broker in Moscow, people close to the Kremlin told us. Story w/ @tggrove and @benoitfaucon wsj.com/articles/fight-for-b…

Honored to share a wave with @JoshRobinson23 on this one.
Daring to surf Teahupo’o requires a willingness to place yourself at the intersection of an unstoppable force and an immovable object. The most terrifying venue in Olympic history. wsj.com/sports/olympics/surf… via @WSJ @SMeichtry @JoshRobinson23

Instead of bringing "clarification," Macron’s snap elections have driven France into a political fog. Avoiding a hung parliament will be hard in a lower house divided in three by large blocs with diametrically opposed agendas. w/ @NBisserbe wsj.com/world/europe/french-…

🇫🇷🇮🇹 The far-R National Rally’s Jordan Bardella reminds me of the Italian far-R — the League & Brothers of Italy — for his shape-shifting. Great profile ⁦@SMeichtry⁩ ⁦@NBisserbe⁩ wsj.com/world/europe/jordan-…

Macron’s one time mentor, Alain Minc, has strong words on the “historic error” France’s president has committed by calling early elections. He says Macron is living in a world of “fiction” to think he has a chance of winning. Post-election, the best France can hope for is chaos.
Alain #Minc fulmine depuis dimanche. Pour lui, la dissolution de l’Assemblée nationale est une "erreur historique". @Barbara_Stec et @ArnaudFaura l’ont rencontré. @Caroline_Roux #cdanslair

In calling snap elections, @EmmanuelMacron is gambling that Le Pen’s victory on Sunday will produce a backlash among voters who will form yet another “Republican front” at the polls to keep her forces out of office. wsj.com/world/europe/frances… via @WSJ

France’s @EmmanuelMacron has defied the U.S. and Germany by pushing @NATO countries to consider all options in Ukraine, unsettling the alliance. We chart his metamorphosis from a dove to a (rhetorical) superhawk with @SMeichtry wsj.com/world/europe/macron-… via @WSJ
