Sadly, but predictably, the purchase of The San Diego Union-Tribune came with warnings of “difficult staffing decisions” and “reductions.” Déjà vu terrible news for a great and hard-working team of reporters and editors who deserve better.

The bureau, 11 people at its peak, operated in DC from 1946 until it closed December 2008. San Diego, now the 8th largest city, needs reporters in Washington.

Terry Eastland was known for his humor and decency The San Diego Union-Tribune and for his high ethical standards at DoJ. A good colleague who was a throwback to an earlier Washington.

I've had the privilege of working with Mini at National Journal. She is a very thoughtful, creative and hardworking journalist who's also really kind. Her work at TIME & NJ on identity issues in politics have been particularly insightful. Any outlet will be lucky to have her.

Tried to buy The Plain Dealer in Cleve. CVS said they used to sell "tons" of papers but PD won't give them papers to sell. Very dumb & very frustrating.

Today, we celebrate #DobyDay! On this date 77 years ago, Larry Doby broke the color barrier in the American League. While MLB has an honorary day for Robinson, Gehrig, and Clemente, Doby doesn't receive league-wide recognition - yet. Here's why that should change. /Thread

I was laid off from @militarytimes today. It has been my privilege to tell the stories of Americans in uniform and I'll miss the talented, dogged team of reporters and editors that made the past three years special. (1/2)

There is no reporter at the White House who is harder working or more respected by other reporters than Jennifer Jacobs. It will not be long before we see her back on the beat.

Sad news from Cleveland on passing of Dan Coughlin a legend who gave me 1st newspaper job in '65, $25 for Saint Ignatius CLE baseball scores. Nobody told better stories or loved Cleve sports more.

And, when talking about records, further acknowledge that Jim Brown's whole career was spent with 12 and then 14-game seasons.

At University of Illinois Dan Balz wrote a sports column Balz & Strikes. For 5 decades after that he called balls & strikes in politics with constant civility and insight. No nicer guy in the business.
