Remember this from @petridishes? “Is that not the very thing I was sent to Congress to do? I think if I do anything less, I am letting down all the people who voted for Matt Gaetz. If they wanted Congress to function, they would not have sent me here.” https://t.co/Ut4j0zoC6E

Ben Wittes’s take on The Washington Post scrapping its presidential endorsement includes an anecdote about Don Graham that speaks to the leadership style many of us experienced in Post Opinions while working for Fred Hiatt. https://t.co/jE1yrymP2Z https://t.co/s5UOK9Rwz3

Independence is critical to what many us value in The Post. Lots of outlets don’t endorse or have owners who dictate positions. The timing and sequence of events disturb for what they show about ending the history of the editorial board’s independence.

I'm a reporter and I don't care who the Post's ed board endorses. A fearless independent newsroom -- which we've so far enjoyed under Jeff Bezos' ownership -- is what I hope we will maintain.

“An independent newspaper might someday choose to back away from making presidential endorsements. But this isn’t the right moment, when one candidate is advocating positions that directly threaten freedom of the press and the values of the Constitution.” https://t.co/qZM2bltCxr

The decision not to endorse is painful to many of us who worked in The Washington Post’s opinion section for years and know what the editorial page used to stand for.

UPDATE: Robert Kagan confirms to NPR that he has resigned from WaPost editorial board after disclosure it would not make an announcement. Kagan has been a persistent conservative critic of Trump, tying him to an autocratic tradition. Uniformly outraged response from staff.

Great of ⁦@johnkrasinski⁩ to ask Stanley Tucci tonight during his Madison Square Garden book talk whether he is doing a Devil Wears Prada sequel. (Unclear, Tucci said.) Another tough question: Would Tucci give up garlic or onion if forced to lose one? https://t.co/Tod3gdGZGj
