Billy Bush (yes, he’s one of those Bush’s), the then-Access Hollywood correspondent and current-Today show host who was Donald Trump’s co-star in the “grab them by the pussy” video, might be getting into trouble with his employer for it. Huff Post media reporter Michael Calderone reports that Bush won’t be appearing Read more

You should read any economic study of the Nationals Stadium not funded by the team, such as the good Greater Greater Washington piece linked above.
