Supporting the home team
Ted Leonsis, the owner of the Washington Wizards and Washington Capitals, is apparently a big fan of Penn Quarter’s the Partisan.
I am partisan about The Partisan. A great sense of place and a comfy setting to dine, with a fantastic host, owner, chef and neighbor. "Nate the skate” - big Caps fan! Check out the Partisan near Capital One Arena. It is awesome! https://t.co/jLuDMelfxh

Rewind
Washington Post reporter Dave Weigel couldn’t help but notice that President Donald Trump has further politicized an already troubling day in D.C. history.
Trump has endorsed Roy Moore on the one year anniversary of a dude firing a gun in Comet Ping Pong bc of a fake pedophilia scandal.
