Did Trump Really Just Break Up with Putin?
It’s never easy to tell which flip or flop the flip-flopper in the White House means.

A sad day for @washingtonpost readers as the standalone Metro section in print is eliminated and folded behind Style. As a lifelong Washingtonian and veteran of the Metro staff, I always admired the Post's commitment to covering Washington as a community not just a capital.

Notice to all corporations: if you try to pass the cost of tariffs on to me I will "pass" on buying your product. As far as I'm concerned this is a "you problem"
