Just about any movie seen at Union Station.

Looking like it’s going to be an A+++ sunset tonight.

You know...Michelle & Barack Obama are each DC residents...

It's interesting to me that Axios newsletters repeatedly talk about AI as being The Destroyer of Businesses, but business executives are much more meh about it.

Gadzooks!

Jobs data report....

Heck of a read! www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

YOUR ELECTRIC BILL IS GOING EVEN HIGHER: "The bill is expected to reach $17 billion...That would mark the third consecutive year of record-breaking costs, as the swift build-out of data centers is adding billions of dollars to household utility bills." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Sad news - Robert Samuelson was an outstanding columnist & skilled at explaining complex economic issues. www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...

Wake Up Dead Man…wow. That hit way harder than expected.

When it comes to using Vision Zero principles to reduce roadway fatalities, we've seen great progress: ➡️25 fatalities YTD - 50% fewer than 2024 ➡️1 less than when DC launched Vision Zero in 2014 ➡️Lots of work by MPD, DDOT, DPW & others in making that happen

Lots going on, but good to check on our progress improving public safety YTD: • Violent crime ⬇️ 28% • Homicides ⬇️ 30% 📌 50% drop since 2023 • Robbery ⬇️ 37% • Assault w/deadly weapon ⬇️ 10% • Burglary ⬇️ 30% • Car theft ⬇️ 22% • Roadway fatalities ⬇️ 50%

This spot is jinxed.

Only upside of this story is that it forced me to figure out who Humphrey was in the Humphrey’s Estate case.

NEWS: @mayorbowser.dc.gov says that D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith is stepping down on December 31. That’s going to leave a big opening at the top of MPD’s ranks, just as Bowser goes into her last year in office.

Good long read (really long!) on Biden Administration’s enormous fumble on immigration & completely misreading the politics of it all. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/u...

Calm Sunday scene.
