I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

Jared Kushner’s Albanian resort faces a corruption probe and mass protests.

An investigative report by the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network found that the project involved a "network of shady individuals and companies." https://t.co/uW14A3vrMe

I love the details about NOTUS negotiation with the Washington Star. NOTUS offered $5k for the trademark. Star countered with ….$10 million https://t.co/xc2GSLdg1o

The Post's voter guide is always helpful in getting the candidates on the record on big issues: Among other things, I noted McDuffie says he now doesn't support congestion pricing. He told @ggwash earlier this year that he did.

This is quite the video. Lying Americans into a war is an impeachable offense.

They are definitely succeeding on the meaner part

BREAM: The Bureau of Labor Statistics says inflation is now outpacing wage growth. How do you answer that concern?

HASSETT: That's a technical matter. Personal income includes lots of things like transfers and food stamps that we have been reducing as part of our effort to make government leaner and meaner.

Over the weekend the former head of Trump's Border Patrol attended a summit with fascists from around the world who are calling for "Weimar solutions" and it for some reason has received almost no press coverage.

They really need to talk to Len Downie

Capital Weather Gang, the weather blog that has been a part of the Washington Post for almost 20 years, is becoming an independent site and rebranding as Capital Weather.

Per a note to WaPo staff today, the site will still contribute to WaPo during major weather events.

Bessent: "Look, for many families, it's not nothing, but it's been less than $200 in extra gasoline costs"

Stand aside, everyone, we'll handle this. #WhiteHouseDown

And a federal judge today just ruled that Trump can't shut the whole thing down in July--or stick his name on it!

The Kennedy Center was part of DC life. Trump destroyed it. https://t.co/RTSEkODZKm

[Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle]

It's worth reminding everyone that the federal monuments and fountains that President Trump is cleaning up are... federal monuments and fountains that local D.C. officials have no control over! In fact, D.C. officials have long complained of federal sites falling into disrepair.

I had to take a bus to Baltimore to see the Washington National Opera's West Side Story, which was supposed to be at the Kennedy Center. But thanks to Trump, DC's arts center is now dead. If you live here, that loss is very personal. https://t.co/RTSEkODZKm

How is it even possible that they’re about to spray glyphosate across Lake Tahoe’s national forests and it’s not front page news

[Stephanie Mencimer @smencimer]

@AlecMacGillis This seems like one of those “too good to be true” stories
