Frances Tiafoe finished last season looking for a fresh start. And rather than relocating somewhere new or heading somewhere warm, Tiafoe instead went home to Maryland.

Appreciate @joonlee having me to talk about the state of college sports (and how we got to this point). Check it out!

With the Senate back next week, lobbying around the Protect College Sports Act has picked up again. And behind the scenes, two of the biggest names in sports labor are fighting it together.

Seven Republicans are running for local office in D.C. this year, trying to get the GOP back in local politics after almost two decades on the outs.

For my first story under our new banner at @washingtonsun, I looked at what happens when D.C.’s presumptive mayor-elect @Janeese4DC asks 700,000 residents to be "brutally honest" about even their most granular demands.

Jayden Daniels said he put on “eight to 10 pounds” of muscle this offseason. You may not have noticed.

Virginia lawmakers in June approved the sale of recreational cannabis beginning in July 2027. The move will upend the region’s cannabis market, which has historically seen Virginians travel to D.C. to access the city’s permissive medical program.

They have a crab-stuffed and shaped pretzel.
