Back in my day, if Toys”R”Us was sold out, you just had to wait. For American kids today, being told you can’t pre-order a Nintendo Switch 2, but other kids around the world can... That has to be a novel and frustrating feeling. Why is the USA locked-out? Trump’s tariffs.

For two decades, Alex Ovechkin has tormented NHL goalies with his one-timer. He beat Spencer Knight with it for goal No. 894 just last night. What makes his shot so unstoppable? "There’s really no words to explain it. It’s just an Ovi slap shot."

My colleagues and I have been working to break news + write stories holding powerful people accountable. These are the top stories on our homepage right now, one of which I worked on. Our newsroom work is continuing. No one has ever told me what to write. If that changes, I’d speak out and leave.

As a hard-news journalist at The Washington Post, there's no shortage of important news to cover. I will keep digging in. As I've stated before: Nothing changes. We ask hard questions and hold those in power to account. That's the job, whether those in power like it or not.
