Georgetown were cowards and wouldn't play GW (or other regional schools!) when our team was pretty good in the mid-2010s. Long overdue!

One of the strangest things I have seen covering politics is Mike Johnson taking a picture of all of the holdouts on the House floor after they'd folded on 3:20AM. I tried to capture the vibes of what this all was for POLITICO politico.com/news/magazine/…

Elon Musk declared the launch of his new political party, a project he’s repeatedly floated since his explosive breakup with Trump. But he provided no details as to how he planned to jump through the hoops necessary to establish his new “America Party.” politico.com/news/2025/07/0…
