I am the child of privilege—or so I am being told. I am white. I am male. I am inbred many generations over, the product of brother and sister fucking in just horrible positions, and then their children fucking, and their grandchildren, and great-grandchildren too, so that I am not much more than a royal mound of…
The Post is the story of Katharine Graham, the first-ever woman publisher of a national American newspaper*, whose tenure happened to land during the release of the Pentagon Papers in 1971—when journalists were able to expose the lies the US government was feeding the public about the Vietnam War. Further, it’s a…

Two more allegations of sexual misconduct have emerged against US Senate candidate Roy Moore, in a Washington Post investigation published Wednesday night. Both incidents allegedly stemmed from Moore’s frequenting of a Gadsden, Alabama mall.
I think we’re all used to TV pundits falling over themselves with praise for Donald Trump every time he manages to repeat the words on a teleprompter without slipping in an aside that will get us all nuked. Now alas, Trump’s nominal ability to read has seduced yet another impressionable victim: This time, it’s the …
The Washington Post is reporting that Donald Trump shared highly classified information with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov in a meeting at the White House.

A new month is upon is, I can almost smell the warm summer air and yet for some reason, retailers are trying to sell me velvet sundresses. Now that we’re on the subject of ridiculous things, let’s go to court.
Does anyone else need a drink? Goddamn. Let’s do this.

Former Republican presidential candidate and soon-to-be ex-Senator Marco “Roboto” Rubio has oiled his hinges and let off some steam via one beautifully catty late night tweetstorm directed at the Washington Post.
We have seen our fair share of bad takes this election cycle—we’ve seen the personal essay (ie. “Why the Feminist Vote Is a Vote for Jeb”), the unexpected turn (ie. “You Might Think Hillary Is a Woman—Here’s Why She Isn’t”), the outrage-bait garbage (ie. “A Liberal Case for Donald Trump”) (that one’s real).
On Wednesday, a Palo Alto jury found ex-Stanford student Brock Turner guilty of sexual assault against a fellow student. Turner, now 20, was a member of the university swim team. And we know what that means: it’s time for someone to write a story about his “once-promising future.”
Legacy institutions like The Washington Post have massive archives full of truly amazing stuff. And increasingly, their current employees are going digging for cool finds to revisit—for instance, a new project to highlight coverage of women written by women.
The Washington Post published a breezy little profile Thursday of David Daleiden, the man behind the Center for Medical Progress, the group who made the sting videos attacking Planned Parenthood as vicious sellers of baby parts. It’s warm, respectful, congratulatory, and strangely light on some key details.
