It's really frustrating that you don't have my trust anymore since your owner is in the pocket of this Russian-owned administration. If this story is running does that mean he let one slide or it's approved?

And today the Opinion Editor resigned due to more abuse of the free press by owner Jeff Bezos demanding more suck-up pieces about Trump and Musk. We love the journalists but hate the owner like the cancer he is.

If the government gave me $38 billion, then I'd be a billionaire and I could join DOGE and get a bunch of twentysomethings to take money away from the working poor and elderly people. New take in the American Dream.....

You'll never see real numbers here... Apparently, those in need deserve to be audited while those with more than they will ever need deserve zero oversight whatsoever. Just's just let Elonia give himself billions more in gov't contracts so that we can just pay him instead of taxes.

Heiß Ihr echt noch "The Washington Post", noch nicht AMAZON FCK NEWS? Noch nicht das eMAil von Jeff gelesen? Bitte haltet Euch an seine Vorgaben! Sonst rappelt es im Karton!

The US spends way more on corporate welfare than it does on programs for the needy. Everything in this piece was and had been true for years before the election, yet your coverage was just various versions of “Elon is a genius” and “they’re billionaires so they must be smarter than us.”

BOYCOTT ANYTHING TO DO WITH ALL THESE BASTARD MILLIONAIRES INCLUDING FASCIST LOVING BEZOS bsky.app/profile/simo...

BREAKING: An astonishing, but sadly inevitable development at the Washington Post, where Jeff Bezos has announced he is turning the paper's editorial page into a Trump mouthpiece. And has dispatched the current Opinion Editor. More presumably to resign in the hours ahead.

That money is also used to buy the ketamine he needs to survive! How come no one is questioning how he was able to immigrate from South Africa and did he apply legally or violate his student visa?!

Elon Musk: I need $1.5 billion or SpaceX will go broke Feds: Approved Lloyd Blankfein: I need $824 billion for Goldman Sachs Feds: Approved Charles Koch: I need a $1.4 billion tax break Feds: Approved Average Joe: My wife got cancer. Can we get Medicare? Feds: We're bankrupt
