Another sidewalk gap in Ward 5 closed! This one is on Brentwood Parkway near KIPP DC in the Union Market area. Thanks to @ddotdc.bsky.social for the new model they launched this year to guide where gaps still exist and need to be closed. Check out the dashboard: sidewalkgap.ddot.dc.gov

Is this the Subway sandwich case of 2026?? Because what do you mean we’re charging people for sticking their hand in the reflecting pool? 🙄 Should be an easy one for a DC jury.

Pretty sure that JLG would handle this better than McDuffie, fwiw.

Mechanics keep our customers moving. Our repair schedule hasn't gotten any lighter in the past year. We need an additional set of experienced hands. Must be pro-cargo, pro-electric. washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/ret/d/wa...

More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion during the past six months. Yes, that's billion with a "B." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I mean…this says it all, doesn’t it? I honestly cannot tell you who this man wants to be (apart from Mayor?) or what direction he wants to take the city.

It breaks my heart that only a few council members bothered to show up to hear these kids. Instead of making up reasons for more cops, you could just kids what's happening *and listen* wjla.com/news/local/d...

Are they all to himself?

Plans to “pedestrianize” 8th street by using the sidewalk as free parking are clearly coming along!

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger endorsed a constitutional amendment to automatically restore voting rights to people with felony convictions when they leave prison. State lawmakers passed the amendment and it will now appear on the state ballot.

IMHO all of 4th street NE between T street and Michigan should be converted to curbside protected bike lanes, but this is a great down payment (along with a bunch of other sensible improvements for all users in this corner of Edgewood).

Has everyone who voted for this reckless moron had enough yet?

Turns out huge permitting delays at the hands of NPS—something we’re all familiar with in DC—played a big role in the potomac interceptor failure. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Shocker

We should try this sometime. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/b...

This should be a national embarrassment, especially for any American politician who calls themselves pro-family. www.nytimes.com/2021/10/06/u...

The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide when the nation goes to war. President Trump’s strikes on Iran are flatly unconstitutional. There’s been no deliberation, no vote, no clear justification. This is a flagrant abuse of executive power.

DC folks! There's an important school safety NOI out for Langdon Elementary. If you could take a minute to to express your strong support for converting the timed one-way to a permanent one-way (with a contraflow bike lane to narrow the road to boot), please do! tinyurl.com/langdon-oneway

Please flag these for DDOT as a "Roadway Markings/Pylons" service"" request via 311: 311.dc.gov/citizen/s/

About damn time.

Grateful for this single planter on the R street entrance to the MBT. Still dreaming of a DDOT that can take simple steps to protect residents without requiring 3 years of advocacy.

Pleasantly surprised that the court did the right thing. This was not a close call on the law, and Trump has wielded this power in exceptionally corrupt ways.

Parents feel the impacts of cuts to programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families directly. In a recent focus group conducted by @dcfpi.bsky.social, one D.C. mother said, “If my children can’t eat, they can’t go to school and be productive.” Proposed cuts could go into effect this year:

They must have been looking for the MBT.

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text. Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

Hi—future here. You were right!

MAGA being forced to watch Kid Rock to prove their loyalty to Dear Leader. Now that's a cult!

So maybe don’t put the racist’s name on anything…..

He’s right, and his wording is also apt in that it makes clear that it is hardly the first racist thing coming out of this White House.

I really don’t have a lot of time for the United States government whining about the administrative burdens of its unconscionable, unlawful conduct.

turns out when Bezos suggested "democracy dies in darkness" it was a goal, not a slogan

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. https://ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3

The Senate votes today on a decoupling resolution that could drain DC's budget by nearly $700 million dollars, and block tax credits that could reduce child poverty by 20%. It's time to take action. Head to DCFPI.org for information on what we can do right now.

If you're a D.C. resident, be aware: Paying your taxes this year could be total chaos. Why? Republicans in Congress are again trying to mess with the city's local budget and finances, something they know little about: 51st.news/republican-b...

NEWS: In a letter to congressional leaders, D.C. CFO Glen Lee says that if Congress repeals a D.C. bill decoupling the city's tax code from some of the Republican tax changes, he may have to suspend tax filing season — possibly for several months.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Will be interesting to see if we live in a country where you can harass the hell out of a woman seeking an abortion on her way into the clinic but cannot call out fascist churchgoers outside a church!

National Republicans are trying to repeal DC’s child tax credit and expanded earned income tax credit. Learn more about the repeal bill and join the fight to defeat it here: bit.ly/3Z5npUO

Congress is trying to blow up the District’s budget again—and in the process undo tax cuts that we implemented to help District families.

Bullshit charges against journalists and political enemies that are going to get tossed out of court as quickly as this administration’s other shoddy work. Bondi and her cronies are an embarrassment and should be impeached immediately when the fascists and appeasers lose power.

Logged my 1st post storm bike ride today. Notes: Cabi has done an admirable job clearing out stations & keeping bikes in service. A trip to/from downtown will require some time on sidewalk or a car lane (choose ur poison). Lanes are either in remarkably good shape (PA NW, 9th NW, MBT) or impassible.

Is it time for a #bikeDC lane status thread? I've pivoted to WMATA for trips so far this week but am itching to get back on my preferred form of transit. 1st contribution: Pennsylvania Avenue NW lanes are cleared but riders should still use caution as icy patches are plentiful on the surface.

Protected speech made my agents murder these people, says federal official

I’m sure the CFO (who runs tax collections) will have more to say because passing these resolutions would create chaos because filing season has already begun.

🚨As if DC didn’t already have enough to deal with, today we learned the Senate and House will vote next wk on SJ Res. 102 and HJ Res. 142 to disapprove a bill to decouple provisions of DC’s tax code from the feds. This would blow a $820 MILLION hole through the financial plan!

An expensive and deranged misuse of federal resources.

Snow removal this week has not gone as planned, and I share neighbors' frustrations. Here are the latest updates we've received from the executive. 👇🏾
