    BOGOTA, COLOMBIA — Colombian voters rejected a peace deal with FARC rebels Sunday in a surprise outcome that risks prolonging a 52-year-old war and plunges the country into uncertainty. By a razor-thin margin of 50.21 to 49.78 percent, Colombians voted against the peace accord, in a Brexit-style backlash that defied pollsters’ predictions and left supporters of the deal in tears. After nearly six years of negotiations, many handshakes and ceremonial signatures, Colombia’s half-century war that..

(Sarah Parnass/The Washington Post) When New York Times reporter Susanne Craig checked her office mailbox a few days ago, a thin Manila envelope immediately caught her eye.

    Donald Trump is scrambling to rescue his campaign after a week in which the Republican nominee’s White House hopes were effectively set ablaze by his own erratic behavior and the discovery that he may not have paid federal income taxes for as many as 18 years. Reeling from a New York Times report that Trump may have canceled out years of income taxes by declaring a $916 million loss on his 1995 return, his allies mounted a vigorous defense Sunday by arguing that the revelation was proof of the ..

    TOLEDO — John Gillespie dug into his omelet with one hand and flipped through the Toledo Blade with the other. The news that Donald Trump had declared a $916 million loss in his 1995 tax return, and may have avoided paying income taxes for as many as 18 years, had made it to the front page of the local newspaper.

    The Redskins have to smarten up, or it'll cost them eventually
    Kirk Cousins, as the Redskins polish off a win over the Browns. (Jonathan Newton/The Washington Post) Mistakes go down a lot easier when they’re drizzled over a win. That’s why the Redskins could be so frank about the mental errors they made during Sunday’s 31-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns. They’re now 2-2 — about what you would have guessed in August.
