The morning after mass layoffs, The Washington Post publishes this as their lead editorial. The owner and publisher clearly have no idea why they are losing subscribers. Meanwhile they have destroyed a storied brand.

Trump has spent his entire second term sabotaging the Social Security Administration.
Now, SSA staffing levels are at a record low while the number of beneficiaries is at a record high.

Billionaires are fearmongering about California’s proposed billionaire tax.
Baloney. Just look at what happened when Massachusetts raised taxes on the rich.

NEW: My friend is running for Steny Hoyer’s seat. LFG!!
January 6 was the worst day of my life. But the threat of Donald Trump didn’t end when the mob left the Capitol.
That’s why I’m running for Congress: to defend this country, with the full constitutional authority of Congress.
I’m Harry Dunn. And I’m ready to finish the job.

I don’t believe Tom Homan. I think this is a ploy to get @democrats.senate.gov to fund DHS. They lied about deescalation last week and I don’t believe a word the Cava Czar says.
Trump 'border czar' Tom Homan says 700 immigration officers will be withdrawn from Minnesota immediately.
Roughly 3,000 officers are currently deployed in the state.

Republicans and their billionaire backers want you to work until you die.
Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."

The draconian cuts at the Washington Post could be called committing suicide by a once-great journalism institution that deserved trust and respect. But I think it should be seen as the owner of the Washington Post committing murder in service to Donald J. Trump.

In a sane world, the decision by Rufo, Vance, & co. to slander and slap a target on the traumatized, hardworking immigrants who revitalized a rust belt city -- and who *were invited* to that city -- would be a stain on their careers that they never live down.
They should be reminded of it. Often.

Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda.
Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon.

Oh, the pearl-clutching that will commence when future US leaders take steps to remove Trump constructions in DC. "How could you insult..." and "you have to accept that..." and on and on.
Ignore it. These are aberrations, illegal, a stain.
