Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

"In an Illegal and Unconstitutional Foreign Power Grab, and Without Congressional Approval,Trump Bombed Venezuela, Declared a Successful Coup, and said..." There. Fixed it for you, @nytimes.com .

Bundle up! It's cold out there this morning. #brrrr 01/03/26 @capitalweather.bsky.social

[wakes up] “I’m sorry, what”

Good Morning! It's Saturday, 01/03. @capitalweather.bsky.social

Cycled over to the Tidal Basin for a different view, but it was too windy for a reflection, so returned to the Reflecting Pool! Good decision. (See prior post.) 12/26/25

Good morning. It's a pretty sunrise on this day after Christmas! @capitalweather.bsky.social

The Barbie Pond (Q Street NW) has decked the halls...! 🎄🎄🎄🥂🥂🥂

Some good news to end the year on. The Supreme Court today blocked Trump from sending the National Guard into the Chicago area — finally setting a limit to Trump’s executive power. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/finally-the-supreme-court-stops-trump

Policy makers can do three things to address the affordability crisis, Annie Lowrey explains.

While I wasn't at the National Mall for the sunset tonight, I did capture a little snap from the Taft bridge...

One more capture, from this shortest day of the year! 12/21/25 @capitalweather.bsky.social

Happy Sunday! Good news: since it's the shortest day of the year today, we will start getting more sun every day from here on in... @capitalweather.bsky.social

The orange felon and his MAGA regime infiltrated the White House to obtain the power the engage in the biggest money laundering operation and cover-up in history. This is what happens when a dangerous criminal is gifted power instead of sent to prison where he belongs.

Reporter: When I opened it, I gasped because I thought we were going to see something. What I saw instead was a 100 page document that says 'Grand Jury of New York' at the top of it, and that's the only text that you can see. It goes on for 119 pages where every single page of it is 100% blacked out

Very merry at the holiday market in #MountPleasant #DC today ! 🎄#holidaycheer @popville.bsky.social

A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.

Good morning! And here's to a good weekend... #tgif #happyfriday @capitalweather.bsky.social

Donald Trump may have thought the rules of political gravity don't apply to him, “but not even the most fearsome and durable leader escapes the eventual decay of their power,” @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily:

More than 250 people who were exposed to measles, including dozens of unvaccinated school-aged children, are quarantining in South Carolina as the state wrestles to contain an outbreak that has sickened more than 110 people.

National Kiss Under the National Mistletoe will take place this Saturday, in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record.

Brrrrrr on this Thursday morning! @capitalweather.bsky.social

Definitely nippy out here with the wind. Happy Thursday! @capitalweather.bsky.social

@capitalweather.bsky.social a pillar right?

More windy this morning. Happy Monday! @capitalweather.bsky.social

Sound up for the geese on this foggy Sunday morning! @capitalweather.bsky.social

Sunday fog drama! @capitalweather.bsky.social

Gallery Place Holiday Market had great energy this afternoon! 🎄

#RIP #FrankGehry

Frank O. Gehry We lost an architectural giant yesterday. Known for sculptural icons like the Bilbao Museum, he was shaped early by the art world. I always admired his “decompositionalist” phase: Aerospace Museum, Loyola Law school, Schnabel Residence, simple forms arranged into bold complexity.

Another Winter Weather Advisory has been Issued for DC – Watch out for slick sidewalks and roads!! www.popville.com/2025/12/anot...

Our first snow of the season! #dcsnow @capitalweather.bsky.social

A video capture from this morning... #thursdaymorning #dmv #sunrise

A Thursday chill - and pretty clouds! @capitalweather.bsky.social

A Thursday chill this morning – with cool clouds! @capitalweather.bsky.social

Look at this amazing capture from photographer Val Proudkii at sunset tonight! @capitalweather.bsky.social

It's skating season at the national Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden in D.C.!

A man and his dog before sunrise at the Lincoln Memorial...

It's Sunday morning. Rise and shine! [The water is still gone from the Reflecting Pool. Hopefully, an update from the National Park Service on Monday...?] @capitalweather.bsky.social

Trump’s size obsession has put him at odds with the architect, who reportedly argues the 90,000 sq. ft. ballroom would overshadow the 55,000 sq. ft. White House, violating basic architectural principles. It's, ultimately, another illustration of crumbling checks and balances trib.al/y9fyW8s

This may be the last time you see a scene like this in D.C. It’s what Tr*mp calls “filth.” So this week the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was emptied by the orange gargoyle-in-chief who insists that he is going to “beautify” it. @capitalweather.bsky.social

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! @capitalweather.bsky.social

What this article describes is, in effect, a judicial coup intended to permanently lock in Republican power and preserve corruption across the three branches and throughout corporate America. It's appalling.

Here's a beauty from @dcstormchaser.bsky.social:

Did anyone capture the sunrise this morning? Apparently it was stunning. Lesson learned: the weather apps can be wrong. @capitalweather.bsky.social

A reminder: the DOGE cuts that cost tens of thousands of people their jobs in the #dmv didn't have to happen. We are trillions of dollars in debt as a country *not* because of these highly educated and highly skilled government employees - but because of this criminally destructive Administration.
