There are actual people who grew up in the DC area and the Washington Post is their local paper, you know that right?

One addendum from a longtime reader: the sports section binds the region in ways that are hard to overstate

Of course, the Commanders, long the DC area’s most unifying institution

But the high school sports coverage is just as significant - the game coverage, the rankings and, most of all, the all-met teams. It means so much to parents and kids. To borrow a phrase, it just means more

Thank you sir

[Steny Hoyer @RepStenyHoyer]

To my staff, colleagues, loved ones, the people of Maryland's 5th District, & all who helped me along the way – thank you.

For the rest of this Congress, I'll continue my work to ensure the People's House reflects the will of the American people & serves as the guardian of liberty & democracy.

@capitalweather potential tornado occurred in White Point MD, south of Leonardtown. Trees down.

Sigh

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

A sad day for @washingtonpost readers as the standalone Metro section in print is eliminated and folded behind Style. As a lifelong Washingtonian and veteran of the Metro staff, I always admired the Post's commitment to covering Washington as a community not just a capital.

Donald Trump just threatened to tax Guinness.

The largest single employer in St. Mary's County is the Federal Government.

Matt Morgan wants his constituents to lose their jobs to prove his loyalty to Elon and Trump.

Inbox: Some sites around DC that are slated be lit up in burgundy and gold as the Commanders play the Eagles in the NFC title game on Sunday: National Archives, Nats Park, Frederick Douglas Bridge and Case Bridge.

An all-timer from Sen. Capito on Sen. Manchin: "Sometimes when he gets out on a limb, I want to saw it off. And sometimes when he gets out on a limb, I want to sit at the base of the tree and applaud him for having the nerve to do it.”

Straight up crazy that Jared Golden was able to hold on to ME-2 even as Trump won it by 9 points. There were ~20k people who split ticket voted for Trump and then Golden. He wouldn’t have even need to go through the ranked choice system this time.

If DC had cool sports teams it would be a radically improved city. It's the worst sports town in America.

Blah blah

[Governor Larry Hogan @GovLarryHogan]

Today, I made a commitment to Maryland that, as Senator, I will only vote for nominees who can earn support from both sides of the aisle.

If there's one place that we should not be playing politics, it's appointments to the Supreme Court and the cabinet. Partisan gamesmanship undermines our most sacred institutions—in the Senate, I won’t be playing along.
