I’m one of at least 28 former Washington Post journalists who have joined the @washingtonsun, which launched this morning. Paul Kane, Jeff Stein, Tom Sietsema and many other names will be familiar to Post readers —and we’ve got the Capital Weather Gang. Join us! https://t.co/qK806amX3p

Washington journalism is in a moment of generational change. We’re rising to meet it.

We cover politics and policy and the people who shape life in Washington — not just at the White House and in Congress, but at the Wilson Building, at Northwest Stadium and in the neighborhoods where we live.

Welcome to The Washington Sun.

The Washington Sun rises today. I hope you’ll join our orbit.

In today’s @washingtonsun column, I reflected on my 36 years in the legacy media, which has sustained losses comparable to the steel industry in the 70s and 80s.

The Sun aims to do nothing less than reinvent the newspaper for the digital age — and to prove that there is a market in the capital region for local news and sports coverage.

Here comes “The Sun.”
The Washington Sun, that is.

Scott Brown can’t quit Trumpism — even though Trump has quit on him.

My colleague @kainazamaria has a lovely piece in @notusperspect today on a big thing that Dolly Parton gave tens of thousands of kids across D.C.: a shared story. (Many of them, in fact.) https://t.co/PlgTgN13Y0

Dana @Milbank: This may be the do-nothingest Congress in generations. But it produced a bumper crop of scandals.

The only thing Mike Johnson's House is good at doing is wrongdoing. My latest column, on the grim consequences of eliminating almost all the competitive seats in Congress. https://t.co/JiF3ZXcO3H

New from me —> some praise for that Jesse Watters vs El-Sayed interview. https://t.co/HvGGewfEeA

[Matt Lewis @mattklewis]

These sorts of high-stakes, cross-ideological TV conversations are much less frequent than they should be because the risks for both sides are so significant. https://t.co/47XXiisncQ

[The Washington Sun Perspectives @washsunperspect]

I’m not suggesting that El-Sayed vs. Watters was the Lincoln-Douglas debate. Both sides dodged questions, made cheap shots and parried the other guy’s questions. But put aside those viral lines. Underneath the spin, there were some real questions being debated, writes @mattklewis.

Since the start of the second Trump administration, there has been a lot of chatter about “Mar-a-Lago face.” But historically, if you want to know where politics is headed, a better guide has been the constriction of women’s waists, argues Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson.

The president has made occasional gestures to lower prices, but mostly he has dismissed the affordability issue as a “Democratic hoax.” And some Republicans who are on the ballot this fall have joined Trump in denial, writes Dana @Milbank.

[The Washington Sun Perspectives @washsunperspect]

Democrats deluded themselves into believing they didn’t need a course correction — in terms of policies or leadership — before 2024, writes @mattklewis. Will that dynamic — midterms success begets presidential calamity — repeat itself between 2026 and 2028?

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed debated Jesse Watters on his Fox News show. And ot was actually good for democracy, argues @mattklewis.

[Dana Milbank @Milbank]

Prices are climbing, President Donald Trump has hit a record low in polls, and only 16 percent of Americans think the country is going in the right direction. So several Republican candidates are approaching the midterm elections with a most unorthodox message for voters: Quit your bellyaching. My latest column: https://t.co/tYX9CPP72C
