Ten years in and I’m still excited when a piece I care about leads the Style print section. If you missed it this weekend, I wrote an essay about the idea of home — and some other stuff. It would mean the world to me if you read it. Here’s a gift link: wapo.st/4wnMY2A

Preview of tenor in Maine Senate race going forward? National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Tim Scott immediately out trying to define Graham Platner as “a phony” and “too extreme”
Tim Scott@votetimscott

Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats just coronated a phony who is too extreme for Maine. Susan Collins has always put in the work for her constituents and delivered. Washington Democrats always fall short in Maine and will again, because they just nominated a dishonest radical.

To our D.C. readers: While we can still barely quantify last week's loss, just a note to say @jennygathright & I and a small but committed Metro team are still here. In such a consequential year for the city, we plan to give it everything we've got. Hope you'll stick with us.

@dugganwapo⁩’s last WaPo piece before being laid off is the kind of intricate masterpiece he has been writing since joining the paper in 1987. He is a newspaper original, a reporter at the top of the craft. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2026/…
