Washington Post Chief Executive Officer Will Lewis resigned, days after the newspaper laid off several hundred staffers in a move that triggered a backlash against billionaire owner Jeff Bezos . Jeff D’Onofrio, a former Tumblr Inc. CEO who joined the Post last year as chief financial officer, is taking over as acting publisher and CEO effective immediately, the company said in a statement . “The Post has an essential journalistic mission and an extraordinary opportunity,” Bezos said, adding that he sees the outlet headed for “an exciting and thriving next chapter.” The Post laid off a third of its staff on Wednesday, including a swath of foreign correspondents and US-based journalists, prompting an outcry from critics including US senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren . The Washington Post Guild union said hundreds of its members were let go “without rhyme or reason.” Bezos, the co-founder of Amazon.com Inc. , purchased the Post in 2013 and set about expanding the paper’s footprint, injecting much-needed investment. But in recent years, the Post, like other mainstream print publications such as the Los Angeles Times, has cut back as ad revenue dried up and subscriptions shriveled.

That same year, Bezos named Lewis, former publisher of the Wall Street Journal, as the new publisher and CEO. Bezos’ decision in 2024 to stop publishing presidential endorsements, ending decades of tradition, caused an outcry inside and outside of the newspaper. Multiple editors and writers resigned and many subscribers canceled. Washington Post sports columnist Barry Svrluga posted a screenshot of what he said was Lewis’ farewell message to staff, which said “difficult decisions” to ensure the Post’s sustainable future were taken under his leadership. “All — after two years of transformation at the Washington Post, now is the right time for me to step asi...

Pentagon says it's cutting ties with 'woke' Harvard, ending military training toggle caption Kevin Wolf/AP The Pentagon said Friday it is cutting ties with Harvard University, ending all military training, fellowships and certificate programs with the Ivy League institution. The announcement marks the latest development in the Trump administration's prolonged standoff with Harvard over the White House's demands for reforms at the Ivy League school. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a statement Friday that Harvard "no longer meets the needs of the War Department or the military services." "For too long, this department has sent our best and brightest officers to Harvard, hoping the university would better understand and appreciate our warrior class," Hegseth said. "Instead, too many of our officers came back looking too much like Harvard — heads full of globalist and radical ideologies that do not improve our fighting ranks." Sponsor Message In a separate post on X, Hegseth wrote, "Harvard is woke; The War Department is not." Starting with the 2026-27 academic year, the Pentagon will discontinue graduate-level professional military education, fellowships and certificate programs, the statement said. Personnel currently attending classes at Harvard will be able to finish those courses. Similar programs at other Ivy League universities will be evaluated in coming weeks, Hegseth said. Hegseth earned a master's degree from Harvard but symbolically returned his diploma in a 2022 Fox News segment. A Pentagon social media account run by Hegseth's office resurfaced the clip in which Hegseth, then a Fox News commentator, returned the diploma and wrote "Return to Sender" on it with a marker. The military offers its officers a variety of opportunities to get graduate-level education both at war colleges run by the military as well as civilian institutions like Harvard. Broadly, while opportunities to attend prestigious civilian schools offer less direct benefit to a servic...

After what can generously be called a contentious tenure as the CEO of The Washington Post, Will Lewis is stepping down following mass layoffs this week. Jeff D’Onofrio, former CEO of Tumblr from 2017 to 2022, will step in as acting CEO and publisher. D’Onofrio has been CFO at the Post since June of last year, meaning he’s had a front row seat to Jeff Bezos’ dismantling of the once storied paper for the last nine months. D’Onofrio’s resume doesn’t include extensive experience in traditional news media, nor many notable success stories. He was briefly the general manager of Yahoo News while it was still a Verizon property, before shifting his focus solely to Tumblr. Under his leadership, Tumblr tried to clean up its image by banning adult content, but its traffic fell by 30 percent. Yahoo had purchased Tumblr for $1.1 billion in 2013. By 2019, it was sold to Automatic, the owner of WordPress, reportedly for less than $3 million.

Why This Crash Is Bitcoin's Biggest Test Yet Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance Bitcoin has a way of faking its own death, and this past week delivered another such instance with theatrical flair. After flirting with the once-unthinkable level of $120,000, the world’s most famous digital asset promptly face-planted to around $62,000 at its recent lows on Thursday. Even for crypto, a 50% drawdown in months isn’t just a bad couple weeks. In a nascent asset like Bitcoin it’s always a bit of a spiritual test. More than that, this drawdown looks and feels like yet another Bitcoin “moment of truth,” the kind that forces believers and skeptics alike to confront what this asset really is—and what it isn’t. For veterans of Bitcoin, the pattern is familiar. Exuberance builds. Headlines turn breathless. Group chats fill with laser-eye emojis. Then, without warning, gravity reasserts itself. Prices collapse. Influencers go quiet or get ornery on social media. Everyone suddenly remembers that “number go up” is not, in fact, a law of physics. But then Bitcoin always does — back to new highs over and over. These moments of truth are supposed to be Bitcoin’s specialty. The “maxis,” sometimes proudly, sometimes ironically—have spent more than a decade preaching the same sermon. Volatility is not a bug, it’s a feature. Pain is purification. Weak hands must be shaken out. Michael Saylor once famously framed volatility as “Satoshi’s gift,” a kind of built-in psychological stress test designed to separate true believers from tourists. If you can’t stomach 50% drawdowns, you don’t deserve the upside. That’s the doctrine. Eat a dick, Sharpe ratio. This time, though, the crash is being framed slightly differently by skeptics. Peter Schiff, Bitcoin’s longtime nemesis and professional eye-roller, has been quick to argue that this is not just another routine purge. In his view, this is not another dress rehearsal. He thinks it is the bubble finally popping after years of supposedly “mass” adop...

The unrelenting rain is expected to continue on Sunday and into next week with dozens of flood warnings in place across Great Britain. The Environment Agency (EA) has issued 85 warnings for England, meaning flooding is expected, mainly concentrated in the south-west and Midlands. A further 245 flood alerts are in place, meaning flooding is possible, from North Yorkshire to Cornwall and from the Welsh borders to Norfolk. Natural Resources Wales has another 11 flood alerts in place while Scotland has one flood warning and five flood alerts. The Met Office said there will be further showers on Sunday, particularly in the west, while persistent rain and drizzle will affect parts of Scotland. The outlook for Monday to Wednesday is cloudy with spells of torrential rain across the UK though with occasional drier interludes. It has rained every day for the last 37 days in the UK, while Aberdeen has had zero hours of sunshine since 21 January and Sheffield has had no hours of sunshine so far this month, Sky News reported. In only the first three days of this month, the south-east received nearly a third of its average February rainfall. Dan Stroud, operational meteorologist with the Met Office, said: “Unfortunately, there’s no end in sight.” Newcastle’s jumps announced its meeting on Sunday has been abandoned “due to the track being waterlogged with some false patches and no prospect of sufficient improvement in the next 24 hours” following “13mm of rain in the last 24 hours and 56mm rain in the past week”. Rain has fallen every day of 2026 in the south-west and south Wales, the Met Office announced earlier this week. Both regions have faced 50% more rainfall than usual for January, the forecaster said. The UK’s wettest February on record was in 2020 with 213.7mm of rainfall which included Storm Ciara and Storm Dennis.

Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) are facing tightening server CPU supplies in China as booming AI infrastructure demand strains the global chip pipeline. The companies have warned Chinese customers about tightening supplies of server CPUs. Intel cautioned that delivery lead times could stretch up to six months. The shortages have pushed prices for Intel's server products in China up more than 10% in many cases, Reuters reported on Friday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

AI Boom Drives Crunch In Traditional Chips Booming investment in AI infrastructure has fueled intense demand not only for AI chips but also for traditional computing components, with memory prices surging and the CPU crisis aggravating in recent weeks. In China, which contributes more than 20% of Intel's revenue, fourth- and fifth-generation Xeon processors have become especially scarce, prompting Intel to ration shipments and leaving a backlog of unfilled orders. AMD has also alerted customers to supply constraints, with some delivery lead times extending to eight to ten weeks, sources said.

Increased R&D spending could pay off in the AI boom. Arm Holdings (ARM +11.56%) often seems misunderstood by the stock market. The company has a unique business model as it licenses its CPU designs and then earns royalty revenue when the products with those designs are sold. That misunderstanding has manifested itself in the response to its earnings reports. For instance, the stock initially fell on Wednesday after it reported earnings, but then climbed in regular trading on Thursday. There were some valid reasons for the initial sell-off. Investors are spooked about declining production in the smartphone sector, which makes up Arm's biggest source of royalty revenue, due to the memory shortage. However, Arm has less exposure to weakness in the smartphone sector than it might seem since partners like Mediatek are cutting production of lower-end chips, which provide much less royalty revenue to Arm than its newer designs do. Additionally, the stock is expensive, trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of roughly 60 based on adjusted earnings per share, meaning high expectations are baked in. Arm is delivering solid growth with revenue up 26% in the third quarter, but it doesn't have the explosive numbers that other AI stocks like Nvidia do. Still, despite a methodical business model tied to licensing and royalty revenue, Arm could have more growth potential than you think. What's next for Arm Arm's business model produces gross margins near 100% so its biggest line item is often research and development. Spending on research and development jumped 46% on a non-GAAP basis to $512 million, and that ramp seems to reflect the increasing opportunity in front of the company. In an interview with The Motley Fool, Arm CFO Jason Child said, "We're spending a lot of time and money on continuing to build out new solutions" in areas like edge AI, putting AI into consumer devices like smartphones, and physical AI, designing products for applications like robotics and self-driving ca...

Will Lewis, the Murdoch media veteran who took over as publisher and chief executive of the Washington Post in early 2024, announced abruptly on Saturday evening that he is leaving the company. His departure comes just three days after the Post laid off nearly one-third of its entire staff, citing the need to cut costs and reposition the money-losing publication. Lewis, who did not appear on the all-staff meeting during which the cuts were announced, has faced criticism for his absence and leadership. “All – after two years of transformation at The Washington Post, now is the right time for me to step aside,” Lewis wrote in an untitled email to Post staffers obtained by the Guardian. “I want to thank Jeff Bezos for his support and leadership throughout my tenure as CEO and Publisher. The institution could not have a better owner.” Lewis then addressed some of the criticism that the Post has received in recent days, including from many current employees. At least 300 journalists were cut from the Post’s newsroom in one of the largest round of layoffs in American media history. “During my tenure, difficult decisions have been taken in order to ensure the sustainable future of The Post so it can for many years ahead publish high-quality nonpartisan news to millions of customers each day,” Lewis wrote, signing off: “With gratitude, Will.” Jeff D’Onofrio, who only joined the Post in June as chief financial officer, will serve as acting publisher and chief executive. “This is a challenging time across all media organizations, and The Post is unfortunately no exception,” D’Onofrio wrote in a memo to staffers. “I’ve had the privilege of helping chart the course of disrupters and cultural stalwarts alike. All faced economic headwinds in changing industry landscapes, and we rose to meet those moments. I have no doubt we will do just that, together. “I’m honored to take the helm as acting Publisher and CEO to lead us into a sustainable, successful future with the strength of o...

Nick Ball's reign as WBA featherweight world champion ended in dramatic fashion as the British boxer was stopped in the 12th round by Brandon Figueroa in front of stunned home fans in Liverpool. After 11 closely contested rounds, in which Ball was at times typically bullish on the inside and Figueroa responded with relentless volume, the fight turned in an instant. Seconds into the final round at M&S Bank Arena, Figueroa landed a flush straight left that sent Ball crashing to the canvas. The 28-year-old beat the count but looked unsteady, and a sharp follow-up combination forced the referee to wave it off. Ugly scenes followed as beer and objects were thrown towards the ring after a brief altercation, with members of Ball's team unhappy about the manner of Figueroa's celebrations while the deposed champion was recovering. "I'm sorry [for the celebration], we didn't mean anything, we were just excited. Sorry about that," Figueroa said. "Big shout out to Nick Ball, he is a great Liverpool champion and one of the best England have ever had. I have nothing but respect for him." In his fourth defence of the world title, Ball - who left the arena without giving a post-fight interview - suffered the first defeat of his professional career, having previously gone 24 fights unbeaten with one draw. The result scuppers his hopes of unification bouts and brings to an end a positive run of results for British boxing on the global stage following Dalton Smith and Josh Kelly's world title triumphs in January. American Figueroa, meanwhile, becomes a three-weight world champion in his 30th pro bout.

Brad Arnold, the lead singer of the Grammy-nominated rock band 3 Doors Down, has died, months after he announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. He was 47. The band said in a statement on Saturday that Arnold “passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, in his sleep after his courageous battle with cancer”. 3 Doors Down formed in Mississippi in 1995 and four years later received a Grammy nomination for the breakout hit Kryptonite. Arnold wrote the song in math class when he was 15 years old, according to the band statement. Their debut album, The Better Life, sold more than 6m copies. A second Grammy nomination came in 2003, for the song When I’m Gone. The band said Arnold “helped redefine mainstream rock music, blending post-grunge accessibility with emotionally direct songwriting and lyrical themes that resonated with everyday listeners”. 3 Doors Down released six albums, most recently Us and the Night in 2016. Singles included Loser, Duck and Run and Be Like That, which appeared on the soundtrack for the 2001 film American Pie 2. While promoting their fifth album, Time of My Life, Arnold said he considered himself lucky to have carved out a career in the music business. “If you do something as long as we’ve done it, you can’t help but get better at it, you know?” Arnold told the Associated Press in 2011. In 2017, 3 Doors Down performed at the first inauguration concert of Donald Trump. Arnold announced his cancer diagnosis last May, saying clear cell renal carcinoma had metastasized to his lungs. The band was forced to cancel a summer tour. “His music reverberated far beyond the stage, creating moments of connection, joy, faith, and shared experiences that will live on long after the stages he performed on,” the band said.

'Washington Post' CEO resigns after going AWOL during massive job cuts toggle caption Allison Robbert/AP/FR172296 AP The Washington Post Publisher and Chief Executive Will Lewis announced Saturday evening he would depart after just two years at the paper, a tenure marked by controversy and crisis. Lewis called his time "two years of transformation" in his resignation note, but it was defined by turbulence rather than a clear path, and it ended with brutal job cuts. The paper's chief financial officer, Jeff D'Onofrio, will serve as acting CEO. More than a third of the newsroom was laid off Wednesday after Lewis' promises of radical innovations failed to staunch several years of annual losses in the tens of millions of dollars. At one point, losses hit $100 million, Lewis told staffers in June 2024 during a rocky newsroom all-staff. It was just five months into his time at the Post yet proved to be his final all-staff meeting. Sponsor Message He was effectively AWOL as the paper's scope, ambitions and journalism were radically redefined and constricted. Lewis played no visible role in announcing the layoffs in a mandatory Zoom call for the newsroom on Wednesday. Nor did he publicly address the paper's readers to allay their concerns. The coup de grace came just a day later when Lewis was photographed in Northern California walking a red carpet at a Super Bowl event. The newsroom had lost so much faith in Lewis that in recent weeks that journalists appealed directly in letters to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, the paper's owner, to spare the paper from cuts and help it find financial stability. Bezos did not respond to those appeals. As NPR has previously reported, the sports desk was eliminated; the local staff reduced to about a dozen from more than 40; the international desk was decimated. Among the layoffs: the entire Middle East team, the bureau chief and another war correspondent. The latter posted she received the email informing her while she was in a war zone.
