Are Americans for or against the use of military force to control immigrant rights protests in Los Angeles? A new Washington Post-Schar School poll asked more than 1,000 citizens that question. See what the survey shows.

As the D.C. Council mulls a $3.7 billion plan to build a new Washington Commanders stadium and adjoining development on the banks of the Anacostia River, most D.C. residents are in favor of using city money to help fund the project, a stark change from opinions three years ago.

Let’s take a deep breath and acknowledge a truth about the events of the week: Holding a celebratory, welcome-home news conference for an NFL team — complete with legends from the franchise’s decorated past, the best way to stir emotions — is at best premature and at worst disrespectful to the citizens who are going to be footing the bill. No, not all of the bill. But not nothing, either.

Yes, the Washington Commanders reached a deal with D.C. to build a new stadium at the RFK Stadium site. And, sure, there was a pep rally-esque news conference Monday featuring heavy hitters, including NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. But there’s still a long way to go before fans are streaming down East Capitol Street on fall game days.

No one should be surprised that Hegseth is flailing in his new role, one of the most arduous and complicated in the U.S. government, if not the world. When Donald Trump proposed that Hegseth run the agency, the response was broadly unified: Hegseth lacked the experience needed to do the job effectively. You could debate the other controversies surrounding his bid for the role ad nauseam, but there was no way to reasonably argue that the Fox News talk-show host was prepared to run the Pentagon.

As he nears the end of his first 100 days in office, President Donald Trump is facing growing opposition to his ambitious and controversial agenda, with his approval rating in decline, majority opposition to major initiatives, and perceptions that his administration is seeking to avoid complying with federal court orders, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.

A group of D.C. activists have launched an effort to block the construction of an NFL stadium at the defunct RFK site, marking the most organized pushback yet against the prospect of a taxpayer-financed stadium and the Washington Commanders’ potential return to the District. Their plan would put the stadium question in the hands of D.C. voters in next year’s local elections.
