Always fun to see my work in print

These American athletes took a gamble on moving their professional careers to South Korea. It paid off.

I have a feature in The Washington Post today about three American athletes -- Austin Dean, Dustin Nippert and Jameel Warney -- who have found success playing in South Korea's professional sports leagues. Link to the story in the comments.

Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk must be transferred to Vermont while her lawsuit challenging the federal government’s detention of her as it seeks her deportation continues, a federal judge ordered Friday.

New: Here's a chart of the top conservative / liberal accounts on X. See that small blue dot? That's @acyn.bsky.social. His fast-cut clips of political combat get hundreds of millions more views than major news sources - and basically no one knows who he is. So I profiled him. wapo.st/3RpEvJ7

The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration early Saturday to temporarily halt the deportations of dozens of alleged Venezuelan gang members who immigration advocates say were at imminent risk of being removed from the country.

Good morning. I just started as a columnist in the Washington Post Opinions department. It is, ahem, a deeply weird week to start this job. But I have some thoughts on what it means to me. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

On the Gulf Coast, no one’s really calling it “Gulf of America.” Is there anything American about it? I went to Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, the border and the Margaritaville in South Padre Island, Texas to figure it out. @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...
