That or sometimes "Washington", the two being (I believe) pretty much
co-terminous nowadays.
Of course, Washington being also the name of a state, that name is
generally used when the context is obvious, i.e., when talking about the
government, in which case it's pretty much just another way of saying
"the federal government"
