Just realized that if you speak with the right kind of New York accent, these two guys have the exact same name

Wow, a little slice of the Big Apple right here in DC! (Parked in a space that used to a streatery for what it's worth)

The streateries disappear on 18th street -- a series of photos taken about 5 weeks apart. Where there was once room for 20 or so people to eat, now there's room for just a single car to park.

Interesting that they're not promoting this as a way to avoid driving drunk, which is why these programs got started. But I'm all in favor of trying to get people out of rideshares!

NEWS: At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie says he will be resigning from the D.C. Council on January 5, 2026. That's in preparation for his run for mayor, since he will be changing his party affiliation to Democrat and he's currently in an At-Large seat reserved for non-Democrats.

Today, I joined with my fellow Ward 1 candidates to call on the @councilofdc.bsky.social to reject the latest attempt to cancel ranked-choice voting for the 2026 elections.

So glad we tore down the Adams Morgan streateries so we have plenty of space for this guy who owes $2,200 in unpaid tickets so he can park directly in front of tryst!!!

Do we think Kenyan McDuffie's campaign graphics will use green as their primary color? I'm guessing yes

Trying to make a list of all the bike projects that DDOT planned and then seriously watered down over the last year or two... --CT Ave (obviously) --KS Ave (described below) --11th street NW --K Street NW transitway not to mention downgrading AZ ave which was already protected but isn't anymore

The people who complained about this project insist that the median is needed to prevent car collisions. Ironic that they so fervently believe a structural barrier is safer than paint… #bikedc

Important bike event coming up this week! The Ward 3 DDOT strategic bike network meeting is on Wednesday from 6pm to 8pm at UDC in Van Ness Good opportunity to tell DDOT to bring back plans for the CT Ave bike lane as well as share other thoughts about where we need a bike network in ward 3

Streateries continue to come down on 18th street. Soon we'll have space for a handful more people to park, and all we had to give up was space where hundreds of people could eat a meal!

Tomorrow is the deadline to submit comments on the Columbia Heights Bus Priority project! The slides showing the proposals are here: app.box.com/s/pd6m639kq1... And the survey itself is here: survey123.arcgis.com/share/5b1bcb...

December 3 update: All the concrete barriers are now gone and crews have started removing the streateries themselves. New "paid parking here" signs are going up as well. As a reminder, DDOT director Sharon Kershbaum promised last month that this wouldn't happen until January at the earliest.

Adams Morgan streatery update: As far as I can tell no more concrete barriers were removed today (as of about 9:30pm) but new signs have gone up indicated that metered parking is going to be allowed soon. I can confirm that both of these signs are new.

Adams Morgan streatery update -- about 2/3 of the concrete barriers have been removed, starting from the southern end of the corridor. No doubt the rest will be removed tonight. Relatedly, the Council is voting *today* on emergency legislation to try to save the streateries.

DDOT is removing the concrete barriers around Adams Morgan streateries TONIGHT. Right now. Next they'll remove the streateries themselves. As a reminder, just a few weeks ago, DDOT director Sharon Kershbaum promised that they wouldn't start removing them until January 2026.

If the Guard need someone else to guard them, they shouldn't be here in the first place. They have already wasted taxpayer dollars ($201 MILLION for '25) to do nothing. Now they're taking officers who are actually fighting crime off the beat to watch over them www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the last 24 hours. Because of you, we’re getting close to qualifying for DC Fair Elections! If you haven't contributed yet - can you chip in up to $50 to help us reach our goal? secure.actblue.com/donate/migue...

I won't deny that Mayor Bowser has had a very tough job to do, especially in the last year. But too often, in many different areas, she made the wrong choices, focusing on what DC can't or shouldn't do, instead of what we can do. I'm glad to know we'll have a new mayor in 2027.

All of this is very predictable. Bonds and Felder have both been huge opponents of RCV, no doubt because both of them only got elected thanks to their opponents splitting the vote. Under RCV they can't count on winning again with just 36% of the vote (Bonds) or 24% (Felder)

More 2026 candidate news! ANC1B Chair Miguel Deramo has filed in Ward 1, the sixth candidate in that race: miguelward1.com Gloria Nauden has also filed in Ward 6. Interestingly, she's been involved in Trayon White's campaigns in the past.

Monday, Thursday, Friday. Goodbye, space for a dozen people to eat. Hello, two more free long term parking spaces

best of luck to @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social on his re-election campaign -- the best sustainable transit advocate on the council.

The Tail Up Goat outdoor dining space is now completely gone, and two cars are parked where it used to be. this will probably be the status quo for the foreseeable future because DC officials struggle to think of any other uses for curb space besides private car parking. It's a real shame.

The Tail Up Goat street dining structure is being taken down this morning. The space will probably revert back to two long term, free parking spaces. The same will likely be happening all up and down 18th Street in the coming months (though there it will become metered parking)

i wonder if any democratic socialists in DC politics who are thinking about a run for mayor are looking at tonight's results and maybe it's pushing them to go for it

Anyone know offhand what the record is for most innings in a world series?

The crowds on 18th street today are as huge as any festival I've ever been to in DC. Perhaps we should consider closing 18th street to cars more regularly! Certainly seems good for business.

Good news and an important step. Remember, of course, that this is the compromise position -- the more effective way to handle it would simply be to not let someone drive at all for a few years if they are convicted of reckless driving

me earlier this morning, after the brooke pinto delegate announcement: "I hope Jack Evans never runs for the ward 2 council seat ever again!" [monkey paw index finger begins to curl ...]

If all the space in Adams Morgan currently dedicated to tables and dining goes back to being car parking, it will be a huge loss to the neighborhood. That land is of far greater benefit to the community as is rather than as car storage. wtop.com/dc/2025/09/t...

Nate Fleming is running for at-large council and his transportation qualifications include bragging about making it easier for bad drivers to stay on the road, so it's going to be pretty tough for him to earn my vote.

I don't know what @mayorbowser.bsky.social's plan is to "build trust" between DC residents and masked ice agents but I can tell you it's not going to work

If the wallet inspectors are really concerned with the quality and workmanship of the wallet I just handed them, they should make that plain.

I didn't bring my family to DC, because they already live here, because it's an amazing city and a great place to live and raise a family

the only solution is statehood for DC. Spread the word.

since the topic of DC statehood is once more on my mind, one small but important thing I think we need to do is change the DC license plates to be way more obvious in their message.

Two 16-20 mph speeding tickets in the last few months plus blocking a bus zone. Seen parked last night in the 15th Street bike lane. And note the illegal rear plate cover! Who knows how many more tickets this person has evaded thanks to blocking their license plate.

Finally, it IS theoretically possible for Congress to abolish our local government and let Trump rule by fiat. The only solution to this injustice is DC statehood. If you think it is wrong to allow the President to have dictatorial power over DC, we need you to join the fight for DC statehood

Does anyone know if Friday's DC Council vote on the NFL stadium deal needs to pass with a simple majority or a super majority? Is it being pushed as emergency legislation?

What a day at the Wilson building -- with mixed results. I'm sorry that the Council didn't move forward with funding semi-open primaries, but huge appreciation to @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social for introducing the amendment on it.

"This is the clear will of the voters," says Pinto as she introduces her amendment to fund semi-open primaries in D.C.

This fails on a 7-5 vote. So that means RCV funding survives, without any additional study/delay.

Thanks to @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social for this amendment! We need to fully implement I-83, as supported by a huge majority of DC voters last fall

Also interesting: Ward 2 Councilmember Brooke Pinto is proposing an amendment to fund semi-open primaries in D.C., which was one half of Initiative 83. The other half, ranked-choice voting, is being funded separately. If this passes, D.C. would get RCV and semi-open primaries in 2026.

Amazing!!
