“I remember the last time we tailgated in Baton Rouge together, making an amateur attempt at jambalaya before Eli Manning beat the Tigers in 2001, and we both stayed in the stadium long after the game ended, listening to the Ole Miss band.”Wright Thompson
Congress is rewriting antitrust law and preempting state NIL laws to restrict athletes.
It could amend federal labor law to allow for collective bargaining.
But the Protect College Sports Act isn’t designed to give athletes a voice. It’s meant to keep them from having one.
Official today: Capital Weather is independent once again.
Twenty-two years after launching Capital Weather as an independent weather website for the DC area — and 18 years after first partnering with The Washington Post and becoming the Capital Weather Gang — we are independent again.
Today, we’re officially launching a new chapter at https://t.co/r3dKxepf5m and on our new mobile app. We are committed to making our core forecasts and updates free and accessible to everyone. Your support will make this possible.
Here is what we’ve built and how you can support us.
What we’ve built:
☀️ Around-the-clock forecasts and live updates
📧 Expanded newsletters
📱 A new Capital Weather app
🌦️ Interactive weather and climate tools
💬 A stronger community experience
🎙️ We will continue to provide forecasts on WAMU 88.5
How you can boost and sustain our independent launch:
• Support our work at https://t.co/jh1PQK6W7Q
• Download the Capital Weather app on iOS or Android
• Make Capital Weather your everyday weather source
• Share this post with friends and family across the DMV
Some of you have already joined our community and we could not be more grateful.
Since pioneering digital local weather coverage in 2004, we’ve believed weather is something we all experience together. Your questions, storm reports, photos, and conversations have helped shape Capital Weather into one of the nation’s leading regional weather communities.
Our mission remains the same as always: to be the most trusted everyday source for DC-area weather forecasts, breaking updates, and in-depth weather and climate news.
From sunny days to stormy days — and from Snowmageddon (2010) to Snowcrete (2026) — it’s been an incredible ride.
Thank you for being part of this community. We’re incredibly excited for what’s ahead.

My guest today is Paul Tudor Jones (@ptj_official), one of the greatest macro traders of all time.
He correctly predicted the 1987 stock market crash and shorted the Japanese bubble in 1990. For over 40 years, his flagship fund has had a negative correlation to the S&P 500. 100% of his returns are alpha.
He says today's market has so many similarities to 2000, "the easiest bear market I've ever seen in my whole life."
He makes the case for going long dollar-yen, why Bitcoin beats gold as an inflation hedge, and why he was wrong about Warren Buffett.
But what I'll remember most from this conversation is Paul's zest for life. He's 71 and still wakes at 2:30 every morning to trade the London open. He works out for two hours a day. He walks with his wife every evening. He travels the country chasing peak spring and peak fall. He's so excited about the songs picked for his funeral that he wishes he could be there to hear them.
Paul has lived five lifetimes in one. He's one of the most entertaining and interesting people I've met, and the conversation will leave you searching to be as passionate about what you do as he is about what he does.
Enjoy!

LIV Golf's pipeline-funded pipe dream seems to be nearing its inevitable conclusion. It didn't try to just compete with the PGA, but change golf altogether.
That requires more money and time than it seems even the Saudis are willing to spend.

A Monday morning question for you:
The common narrative is that kids learn faster than adults, but if you watch any toddler they spend a large portion of the day attempting things that are on the edge of their ability.
How much time have you spent on the edge of your ability today?

“You’re starting to get the hours accumulated in your lifetime to pull it off,” Diggins said. “And that makes me really excited in a way that doesn’t put any pressure on him — but I think he has amazing potential.”
Great reporting @barrysvrluga awesome story
When I was in Vermont in August visiting Jessie Diggins for a story, I noticed this massive, powerful human working out in the group with her.
That was Ben Ogden. On Tuesday, he won the US's first XC medal in 50 years.
Here's his story. It's fascinating. https://t.co/ZSWVGoBLvU
““Jurgensen is a great quarterback,” the coach said in 1969, in his only season in Washington, according to the Hall of Fame website. “He may be the best the league has ever seen. He is the best I’ve ever seen.”” @PostSports https://t.co/Zp0n2M5dlh
So, finally, some thoughts on @PostSports:
I, like so many of my colleagues, was laid off today as part of the Post’s implosion of its Sports department. I ache for my colleagues, so many of whom are friends and so many of whom I’ve worked so closely with over 22+ years here.
