This is our local paper, gutted by an oligarch and greed, and the wave of apathy sweeping our country—the Metro section is our Canary in the coal mine.
The Post is cutting its stand-alone Metro section, as circulation drops below 100K for the first time in decades. Local stories will now be buried between Style and Sports.
Washington Post to Merge Metro Coverage Into Sports and Style Sections
The print edition will publish its final stand-alone Metro section on Sunday, as Post average circulation drops below 100,000 for the first time in more than 55 years.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated.
It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing.
I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

We need a start pack for ACTIVE politicians on @bsky.app Anyone have one ?
This platform will be a great way for dems to speak up and make this individual videos. Someone should start something that organizes them in one spot or organize in categories of issues that need to be heard
