Just hire all the laid off reporters. Call it the Washington Citizen or something. Doesn’t seem that hard.
Before The Washington Post layoffs came down, a group of wealthy D.C. locals approached CEO Will Lewis with a proposal.

Donald Trump is a bigoted, small-minded man who has long spewed racist remarks and tried to whitewash our nation’s history. Today he finds a new low.
His recent post is vile, disgusting, and abhorrently racist. Every elected official should speak up and condemn this hate.

He’s going to tear down the Kennedy Center. The entire building. He tore down half the White House and no one stopped him; now he’s doing this. It’s annoying how many people are pretending they don’t understand this is what he’s openly saying he’s going to do.

Let me reiterate: THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO PERSECUTE LARGE NUMBERS OF DISSENTERS. What they are doing, instead, is using fear and paranoia as a force multiplier: they don’t have to persecute us if we keep ourselves home because someone told us we can’t walk in public without being terrified.

The charges against Don Lemon are ridiculous. He’s a target because he’s black, because he’s media, and because he’s a Trump critic, and because Trump and his minions cannot accept any dissent. It’s deeply pathetic, unamerican, and lawless.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

The toughest people these ICE/BP guys have ever encountered are a male nurse, a lesbian poet, some grandmas, and folks in little cars like a Honda Fit.
It's shattering their worldview and sense of self.
Wasn't supposed to be this way. The podcasters and X posters and supplement sellers said so.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...
