Trump has granted clemency to more than 70 people convicted in fraud cases. At the same time, he says he is waging a "war on fraud." Those granted clemency included allies & donors. Those targeted in the "war on fraud" include Somali & other immigrants. nytimes.com/2026/03/19/us/…

White House stands by State Department nominee who complains that "white Americans are increasingly second-class citizens," warns of "white erasure" and says "the Jews love to see themselves as oppressed." @CAMcGrady nytimes.com/2026/02/13/us/…

For us sports fans of a certain age, the sports section of the newspaper taught us how to read. I didn’t grow up with the Washington Post sports section, but I did grow up because of it. Today’s a sad day for my friends and for all of us.

"Everybody’s afraid," said Oklahoma City's Republican mayor, David Holt. "Let’s get back to an era of immigration enforcement that is manageable, legal and acceptable to a majority of Americans." @CAMcGrady talks to the mayors. nytimes.com/2026/01/30/us/…

"Stephen," Trump said, during a contentious debate about immigration, "if you had it your way, everyone would look exactly like you." “That’s correct,” Miller said, before turning back to continue sparring. theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

You want to get Today's Youth reading? There's a simple solution...

SCOOP: Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s pick to lead the Office of Special Counsel, told a group of Republicans in a text chain the MLK Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and said he has “a Nazi streak,” according to a text chat I saw. politico.com/news/2025/10/2…

@MattWelch thank you for interrupting my healing journey from the childhood trauma that was the '96 WS

How does this compare to the 1996 Atlanta Braves postseason rotation, you ask? Well! In 15 games, Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz/Neagle went: 9-5, 1.56 ERA, 115.1 innings 80 hits, 20 walks, 90 strikeouts. And somehow still lost to a Yankees team that wasn't yet as great as they would be.

Dodgers starting pitchers after 9 postseason games: 6-1, 1.50 ERA, 60 innings, 29 hits, 18 walks, 73 strikeouts. It'll be 7-1 if the Dodgers hold this lead.

The death of Trey Reed, found hanging from a tree in Mississippi in what has been ruled a suicide, struck the nation's raw nerves. @CAMcGrady reports: nytimes.com/2025/09/29/us/…

Good column here. And I want to add one twist, of sorts: Bowser should understand where Mendelson is coming from, since she was once there herself. Back when she was a Ward 4 councilmember she played a critical role in changing the Audi Field stadium deal, after all.

Trump’s Order to Sanitize Black History Meets Institutional Resistance -- @CAMcGrady @nytimes nytimes.com/2025/05/06/us/…

Black history sites around the country are living with the uncertainty of Trump's order to combat "improper ideology," but their experiences so far show how hard it will be to put historical knowledge back in the bottle. From @CAMcGrady nytimes.com/2025/05/06/us/…
