“Thank you for your attention to this important matter.” 😬
Sitting U.S. senators don't make letters such as this one public unless they feel a paper trail is needed to inform the public.

Not great. Really not great.

So let’s brainstorm.

The whistleblower’s lawyer said this complaint was filed around June 6.

That rules Putin and Alaska out.

What dumb did shit Trump do prior to June 6 that could cause grave harm to the United States?

Please don't report this as a straightforward business story; it's a story about coercive social transformation being imposed by people so rich they've ceased to see the rest of us as legitimate stakeholders in our own lives

It is worse than this, I think. Bezos would be eminently capable of getting good value for the paper in a way that would leave his personal wealth intact. He is disfiguring it because he believes owning it, and doing *this,* best serves his interests.
Jeff Bezos destroyed the Washington Post because he couldn't admit that he didn't know how to run a newspaper, and also because he felt entitled to turn it into his personal plaything. Both are functions of his ego, his greed, his heedlessness, and his insecurity. What a dark day.

For those of you who:

* Feel enraged to watch billionaires destroy important newsrooms

and

* Recall vaguely that Jeff Bezos was once considered a courageous owner who fortified the Washington Post

I recommend this piece by the Post's former fact-checker

I fear what Jeff Bezos is doing to the Washington Post is but a prelude to what Larry and David Ellison will have Bari Weiss do to CBS News

And as our institutions crumble, there will be no credible way to rebut the lies and disinformation being spewed by Trump and MAGA

Which is exactly the point

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades
always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

Jeff Bezos could have spun off the Washington Post into an independent nonprofit with a few billion dollars for an endowment and been a hero by spending what, for him, is pocket change.

Ofc the media is undergoing a business calamity. The WaPo lacked a good biz model.

Anyone saying that explains Jeff Bezos’s move today should be disqualified forever from expressing opinions.

This is abt billionaire power, oligarchy, Trump’s authoritarianism and the threat truth poses to those.

Turns out that it's not a good idea for a rich guy with lots of government contracts to own a crusading newspaper when an authoritarian controls the executive branch. Amazon has billions in deals with the Pentagon & wants in on the space biz. Bezos needs to suck up to Trump--or risk all that. So...

this whole thing is on Bezos, a perfect example of why billionaires will not save us

for years he supported the Post and then he decided destroying it utterly at the altar of a wannabe dictator better served his personal ambitions, so he did

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now he is threatening to take over elections. Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.
