Some personal news, as they say:

Excited beyond belief to be joining @NOTUSreports as a sports reporter, covering a mash-up of familiar topics for me: the overlap of sports + politics, the overlap of college sports + Capitol Hill, and ... wait for it ... the Nationals!

“We’re watching Donald Trump on a revenge tour, and as incredible as it sounds, it is not out of the realm of possibility that somebody could be spotted at this concert and be told they don’t need to show up for work on Monday,” @DougHeye tells @Sam4TR. https://t.co/DUVK87ak8s

DC crowd before the Baby Keem show:

“F—— Trae Young!”

@jf67523 No idea lol. I was wondering the same thing

ICYMI: Check out our latest video with @Sam4TR on the dilemma facing Republicans who also love Bruce Springsteen 👇

[Sam Fortier @Sam4TR]

Bruce Springsteen ends a six-minute, anti-Trump speech by yelling:

“Let them hear you in the f——— White House!”

[Sam Fortier @Sam4TR]

Republican Springsteen fans are torn about which Boss to serve.

I talked to them about it for @NOTUSreports:

[Sam Fortier @Sam4TR]

@davelevinthal @NOTUSreports Thank you, Dave!

[NOTUS @NOTUSreports]

Bruce Springsteen’s latest tour has been unofficially dubbed the “No Kings Tour,” putting his diehard Republican fans in a tough spot.

[Sam Fortier @Sam4TR]

For some Republicans, there’s only one Boss.

I wrote about the Bruce Springsteen fans struggling with his “No Kings” tour, a direct, defiant, three-hour salvo against Donald Trump and his administration.

Better news is coming soon. NOTUS becomes The Star in June. Visit https://t.co/nMSTzVq4IL for updates.

If you live in DC and are angry about Jeff Bezos’s cuts to local coverage, you should sign up to follow. Massive investment in local coverage

[NOTUS @NOTUSreports]

The Star launches in June with dramatically expanded coverage of Washington politics and policy — and new coverage of D.C. itself. The District isn’t just the place where politics happens. It’s home to the people who pull the levers of power. It’s where they live and work and commute and eat and vote and navigate the unique intersection of politics and real life.

The Star will cover all of it, from Donald Trump’s stamp on the District to the ambitions of its first new mayor in more than a decade. Who’s wielding power in D.C.? What’s driving them? What impact are they having on housing, schools, transportation and the District’s neighborhoods? What’s next for Home Rule? For statehood? And will the Nationals ever be good again?

We’ll do it with the same rigor we bring to our coverage of national politics and policy, and we’ll do it with the best local reporting team in D.C. We’re excited to announce the start of that team today — veteran journalists you know and trust, plus newcomers who will bring fresh eyes to the vibrant and sometimes vexing place we all call home.

[Jeff Dooley @JeffDooley_]

I’m thrilled to be joining The Star, where we’re building out a fantastic team to cover D.C. news and sports — starting with @maustermuhle @TheArtist_MBS, Shamira Muhammad, @tomsietsema and @zaraleinorman
