DOGE Is Flopping, A New Tariff Just Dropped, and Virginia Doesn't Need Your Michelin Star - Washingtonian
Briefly

Washington's sports scene saw Alex Ovechkin score his 896th career goal, yet there was no celebration for the momentous occasion. Meanwhile, notable administration news includes new tariff exemptions on electronics like smartphones and computers, which would benefit major tech companies like Apple. Additionally, a new book titled 'Atavists' by Lydia Millet reflects on modern cultural challenges in a post-pandemic story collection, while the Nationals prepare to take on the Pirates tonight.
"When my high school principal sympathetically handed my diploma through the back window of my mom's SUV in 2020, I think I might have felt a tiny bit less angsty if I'd known that five years later I'd acquire an advanced reader copy of this excellent short story collection..."
"This exemption would be a big relief for many US-based tech giants, including Apple, which manufactures 80 percent of its iPads and more than half of its Mac computers in China."
"Millet's characters-who live in the same nondescript suburban area and bumble into one another's storylines à la 'The White Lotus'-engage with Instagram comments, internet porn, woman-hating tech bros, and various other discourse-generating realities of modern America."
