One of the things that I have seen not commented on was back to when the West Wing was built. It used to be on the west side of the White House there were large glass conservatories and stables for a short period of time. Those were all torn down, which allowed the colonnades to the west side and then the building of the West Wing. Nobody's talking about that, but that was just as large a project.
Bilal Coulibaly entered year three with the Washington Wizards with a whole lot to prove and not a lot of time to do it. As Washington continues to build towards the future, time is of the essence as the team looks to evaluate the roster and determine which players can contribute for the long haul. The sophomore leaps of Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George have been the lone encouraging signs for the Wizards to start the season,
The Washington Commanders first noticed the cameras along the walls of the meeting rooms when they returned from their bye week. They saw the trailer that popped up next to the practice field. Then the NFL Films camera crews roaming the sidelines. For the first time ever, "Hard Knocks" had come to Washington. A new season of HBO's behind-the-scenes series will premiere Tuesday at 9 p.m. and run through the remainder of the season,
He has been Washington's most productive pass catcher, as injuries have sidelined Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown for a combined 16 games. Samuel has a team-high 53 receptions (37 more than the next receiver), 470 yards and five touchdowns. A bruised heel caused him to miss one game, but Washington lacks quality receiver depth and a return for Samuel would make sense. The question is at what cost? McLaurin will count for $18.35 million on the cap in 2026, so the Commanders could afford another year of Samuel if they wanted.
There were plenty of goals in this one, but the one that holds up as a big moment was the eventual game-winning goal. For the third time in the game the Oilers had scored to bring the game within one, cutting the Caps' lead to 4-3, and they were threating again. With almost 14 minutes left in the game and the puck in the defensive zone, Jakob Chychrun slapped the puck towards the blue line.

Yes, the vibes are bad. No, doing something whimsical won't solve your very real problems or the very real roots of them. But maybe, just maybe, taking some time to have a little fun this weekend can provide a small escape, like Alice tumbling down the rabbit's hole into Wonderland. Upcoming events offer opportunities to catch imaginative performances, participate in creative gatherings, or even embrace the more playful side of protest. Here are some out-of-the-box ideas for your weekend.
A vehicle transporting passengers at a Washington DC-area airport hit a dock at the building on Monday, sending 18 people to the hospital, according to officials. A mobile lounge, which transports passengers between the terminal and aircraft, struck the dock at an angle at about 4.30pm at Washington Dulles international airport as it was pulling up to the building, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority said in a statement.
A new analysis by the Washington Post describes half-empty halls and plummeting ticket sales at the Kennedy Center, which Trump took over as chairman earlier this year, vowing to end "woke" programming. In his purge of the once-revered arts and culture institution, Trump fired staff, replaced advisory boards, and installed a new team headed by out administration official Ric Grennell.
Carbery didn't provide much else, other than saying the team didn't know whether Dubois would need surgery to repair his lower-body ailment. The club's bench boss was asked a follow-up question on Tuesday about whether the Capitals believed Dubois would not return for another game during the 2025-26 campaign. "No, we do not think it's going to be season-ending," Carbery said. "Just an extended period of time at this point. No update on him."
Per Capitals PR, Thompson comes into the contest with 36 wins, already four more than the next closest netminder, Ilya Samsonov, who sits second with 32 Most wins through 50 games with the Capitals Not only that, Thompson's 36 wins since the start of last season rank fifth-best in the NHL, with only Connor Hellebuyck (51), Jake Oettinger (40), Andrei Vasilevskiy (39), and Sergei Bobrovsky (38) having more.
The home Jackie and John F. Kennedy lived in before checking into the White House is on the market for $7.5 million - and the Kennedys aren't the only prominent people who have lived there. The five-bedroom, five-and-a-half bathroom home in the posh Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC, was built in 1811 by William Marbury, a financier and loyalist to President John Adams.
The Washington Capitals announced Sunday that they have relieved assistant coach Mitch Love of his duties following an NHL investigation into his personal conduct. Love, who joined the Capitals in 2023, has been on team-imposed leave since September pending the investigation's results. Over the offseason, Love was in the running for several head coaching positions around the league, with reported ties to the Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, and Seattle Kraken.
📸: Hershey Bears Andrew Cristall notched a personal milestone on the same night Alex Ovechkin played his 1,500th career game in Washington DC. During the first period of the Hershey Bears' matchup against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, Cristall scored the first goal of his AHL career, sending a beautiful one-timer from the right circle past goaltender Carson Bjarnason. The power-play goal at 14:47 was assisted by Alex Suzdalev and Calle Rosén. The primary assist also marked Suzdalev's first career AHL point.
A shooting near Howard University has left at least four people shot, police in Washington DC said. The shooting happened as thousands descended on the campus for homecoming celebrations. Police responded to shots being fired at 8.23pm on the 600 block of Howard Place, near the university's Yard and the School of Architecture building.

The sixth-year player has started in all seven of his appearances this season. However, the team captain has seen his role reduced over the course of the season. Rookies Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. have received the bulk of the team's defensive snaps. Wilson, a third-round pick in the 2020 draft, has been a pivotal member of Cincinnati's defense in the turnaround.
Skating with Connor McMichael and Tom Wilson on the left wing of the second line, Lapierre gave the Capitals 10 minutes and 47 seconds of dependable, if not dominant, hockey. The Capitals held positive differentials in shot attempts (+15), shots on goal (+9), scoring chances (+10), and high-danger chances (+5) with the 23-year-old forward on the ice.
