In his attacks on Harris, Trump is reviving a 40-year thrust among Republicans about California: “A symbol of our nation’s decline.” “Crime ridden.” “Ruined.” To which some in the state reply: Jealous much? @reisthebault washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/09…

San Francisco has been formed and broken and reformed by crisis. Now, in the troubled wake of the pandemic, its mayor’s race may determine its future and who holds the power. Reis Thebault washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

In boom and bust San Francisco, voters look to mayor’s race for rescue washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/… Reis Thebault

In a city so varied — so geographically diffuse, so demographically diverse, so often divided along race and class lines — it takes a powerful force to bring people together. But this year’s Los Angeles Dodgers did it. @reisthebault washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/11…

California will lead a Trump resistance again. Round 2 will be harder. — via ⁦Reis Thebault⁩ washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

California’s leading liberals spent months plotting how they might oppose a Trump administration were he to win. But already there are signs that Round 2 of their fight will be far more difficult, in part because of changes in the courts. @reisthebault washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…

If you read one story today on what it was like for #lafires to engulf an entire metropolis, make it this Reis Thebault & Joshua Partlow story, edited by Paulina Firozi and Cathleen Decker (And read to the end if you want to know what happens to the kitty.) washingtonpost.com/weather/2025/0…

Heartbreakingly beautiful dispatch from LA: ‘There was nothing you could do’: The two days when fire swallowed Los Angeles For at least 48 hours, it seemed like Angelenos saw flames nearly everywhere they looked. Via Reis Thebault & Joshua Partlow washingtonpost.com/weather/2025/0…

Beautifully written dispatch via Reis Thebault Disaster is in the air. It clouds the skies, it sears the eyes, it lodges in the lungs. It weighs on the heart. Even for those who are miles away, the fires are still inescapable, an ever-present ache. washingtonpost.com/weather/2025/0…

How one man and his crew saved Pacific Palisades homes from the L.A. fires. Remarkable story from a remarkable Washington Post team ⁦Reis Thebault⁩ washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…

A gallant crew of untrained Californians seemed no match for the awesome power of nature, and yet: What it looks and feels like to fight for the Palisades, via a Washington Post team including @reisthebault Erin Patrick O'Connor Julia Wall Tucker and more washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…

WAPO AT ITS FINEST "Soon, they wouldn’t be painters, welders or builders. They would be firefighters...surrounded by one of the most destructive blazes in American history" @reisthebault Erin Patrick O'Connor Julia Wall Tucker washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…

John and Gail spend their nights wandering down hallways that no longer exist. Gone are the “#1 Dad” pillow, the poem John wrote to Gail in high school, Gail’s childhood dolls. All “72 years of life stuff.” Without it, will memories fade? @reisthebault washingtonpost.com/weather/2025/0…

In this age of instability, its plucky presence reminds of a time when technology was unabashedly built to last, an example of survival even in the most turbulent of times. Behold the Centennial Bulb, still glowing after 124 years. @reisthebault washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/03…

The January firestorms across Southern California tore through entire neighborhoods and displaced tens of thousands. It also torched through the natural world, threatening already endangered species. @reisthebault washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/04…

Los Angeles brims with wildlife. But fires make it harder to survive. The Washington Post Reis Thebault washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/04…

The cell doors are so rusted they can’t close. Century-old lead paint is peeling off the walls. Concrete is crumbling. This is no longer a fearsome prison. But it’s one Trump wants, to the astonishment of Californians and tourists. Reis Thebault Lisa Bonos washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/05…
