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!

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

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.

Prices are high, Trump has hit a record low, and only 16 percent of Americans think the country is on the right track. So Republican candidates are approaching the midterm elections with an unorthodox message for voters: Quit your bellyaching. My latest column. www.notus.org/perspectives...

After El-Sayed's win, some Republicans immediately descended into bigotry, portraying him as a terrorist installed by the Muslim Brotherhood. Ted Cruz even made el-Sayed the focus of a Senate hearing -- but no other senator showed up. My latest column. www.notus.org/perspectives...

Trump's Great American State Fair is using our taxpayer dollars, our National Mall and our nation's 250th birthday to promote conspiracy theorists, Christian nationalists, Chinese technology -- and, mostly, Donald Trump. My latest column: www.notus.org/perspectives...

I am leaving the Washington Post to join a new journalistic venture backed by Politico founder Robert Allbritton that will be both the hometown publication the D.C. region sorely needs and a scrappy and fearless national news organization. I hope you'll join us.
