The Federal Transit Administration released its annual report on new transit projects to fund. The report recommends a total of just $1.2 b for existing & new projects, a massive reduction from previous years. The federal role in funding new transit projects is being decimated.

The political calculations that result in cutting NASA funding the day after the Artemis II launch must be fascinating

This kind of ambition for building more places for people to live across the city is one of so many reasons I'm proud to support JLG for Mayor. I can't see McDuffie or the others leading and taking risks on anything like this. DC needs a More Housing, More Places Mayor

Very well put and hard to deny. None of this was an accident ggwash.org/view/99934/b...

Artemis II is Go For Launch! Let's Fuucking Go!!!

@ggwash.org coming in hot with the savage his this April Fools! "Marc Elrich Solid Waste Transfer Station" hahahahaha

Grumble grumble @ddotdc.bsky.social a crew on New Mexico.ave doesn't know how to properly sign a work zone and placed multiple sofns blockong the protected bike lane. Maybe you should just remove this one too, for aesthetics or whatevwr

Oh hell yes! NoMa is getting a hardware store! Gym Down but a Hardware Store Inbound to NoMa/Union Market!! - PoPville share.google/if5d6B50JEvw...

People who understand/design political polls, what is this question for? Is this another version of quotations? Are you a human?"

@nomabid.bsky.social fyi, the lights in the M Street Northeast underpass are not working on one side. There's something wrong with the rain installation. Very dark

I love that CaBi is leading the charge Americans understanding the metric system! 40 meters is.~420 feet, right?

You asked, we listened. Starting today, CaBi members can park ebikes near full stations for free. Get additional details and applicable terms on our blog. shorturl.at/OBk6W

We’ve heard now from several reliable sources that federal agencies may remove a substantial chunk of the 15th St NW protected bike lanes near the National Mall in February, possibly as early as next week.

@bikeshare.bsky.social one of your runaway classic bikes (W22748) is often parked undocked, but secured with a cable lock) at the east side of College Park Metro station. Here at 5:20pm today

Things are going great out there!

Hear that? It's the sound of the drawbridge going up to protect the few lucky enough to buy homes when they were affordable

Too on the nose

Imagine how quiet American cities could be if cars were designed and regulated for situational awareness rather than isolation. Instead car makers and emergency vehicles are fighting an ever escalating war of better soundproofing and louder sirens. And us people out on the streets lose.

@metrorailinfo.bsky.social there are no lights on at the upper floor of Fort Totten and there's not a staff member with a light to be seen. It's pitch black up here and trains are still running through as normal,

@metrorailinfo.bsky.social what's going on at College Park to require bypassing in the greenbelt direction? Trains are already running at 16 minutes, so that's pretty frustrating

Looking very holiday cheer and joy today @metrorailinfo.bsky.social

For the first time in a while I got to answer a local DC political phone poll

Hey America, go vote today. Please

How is Outlook still such a horrible, inconsistent and non-standard email client? Like, still!?!

Hello new bike ramp!

If we could prioritize 1-2 fixes in bike infrastructure in the Petworth area, that would make our streets safer for everyone, what would have the biggest impact? You can share your thoughts in this Google form: forms.gle/HKpgSa55TVSK...

There we are.

@bikeshare.bsky.social one of your classic.bikes is u locked at the NoMa Metro at M st if you want it back

Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen.

They published it, and it's even worse than I thought www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

Today I discovered that Garmin graphs VO2 Max with decimal points! Not sure how much stock I put in this metric, but wow this is more motivating than 5 months of an unchanging flat line! The nuance! The scale is whole numbers. How far I've fallen and how eager I am to climb back!

With DC's back against the wall, and arguably no good options to choose from Mayor Bowser still chose the wrong. You're either for Home Rule or you're not. I'm so disappointed and frustrated by the Mayor's stance.

This is a moral moment for DC. Washingtonians are being taken off the streets and charged with crimes that even grand juries won’t indict. Residents are scared to leave their homes, and workers are scared to go to their jobs. All while they drag our city through the mud. This is wrong. Call it out.

Is this some new hustle or do I just give off "loves pickup soccer games with the fam and definitely has kids" vibes?

If Democrats ever take back power and this horrifying clown ever leaves office, once we're done restoring law and order, prosecuting fascists and all that, statehood for DC had better fucking be an indisputable national priority for the Democratic Party and pursued with vigor Fuck it's bleak here

For nearly two weeks straight Trump has escalated his attempt to take over DC. Federal agents are now violently profiling, harassing, and arresting Black and Brown DC community members and their presence is a severe danger to people here. Join us today at 3 PM to demand FEDERAL FORCES OUT NOW.

Calling all transit fans! Let your voice be heard. 🚇   🗳️ Vote on the exterior design for our new 8000-series rail fleet! Voting will close at 11:59 PM on August 22. Winning concept will be announced next week.    Vote before time runs out: wmata.questionpro.com/a/TakeSurvey...

Due to the Federal law enforcement crackdown in DC this week, I am relocating my usual crime activities to Delaware for the next seven days. I hear the beaches are nice.

So proselytizing in the Federal workplace is fine so long as it's not harassment. What's a non-harassing way of telling someone their religious beliefs are incorrect, immoral, and they're going to hell?

In this thread I will post one example of every different type of animal I am able to photograph inside the boundaries of the District of Columbia, starting October 10, 2023. First up: Male wood duck, this morning in Rock Creek near the Oak Hill Cemetery.

Hey @metrorailinfo.bsky.social what is going on with the violent shaking on 7K trains on parts of the orange and silver lines near East falls Church? It's been frequent in the past 6 months. Given the derailment history on these cars, are you investigating this? Any public explanation?

As always, I appreciate the coverage and regret the forced framing. Every new street design takes some time to get used to. Narrower streets are safer, slower, more careful streets. This small project on Marineli Rd has been in the works for a decade and it looks great! search.app/eXUk3

I'm not sure winning by 360 votes constitutes a "mandate" or the people "speaking". If anything, a 500 vote spread between 4 candidates shows that the few people who showed up mumbled or something

THE TANKS! THE TANKS! SHREDDING OUR STREETS! COSTING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!! THE TANKS ARE HERE

I'm sure if everyone just protested mass deportation "the right way" there'd be no need to send in the national guard or shoot tear gas and rubber bullets into crowds. Feeling for all the folks in LA right now. And hoping that the tanks and soldiers rolling into DC right now aren't here to stay.

PRIDE NEWS: The fencing placed around Dupont Circle yesterday by the National Park Service is coming down this morning, a few hours before the WorldPride Parade is scheduled to start. Its placement, for public safety reasons, drew widespread criticisms from many locals.

Can't say I'm surprised, but I sure am disgusted by intentional cruelty and symbolism. They remember how the LGBT rights movement started and they want folks to escalate so they can unleash the US Park Police to beat us down

When the gen AI tasked with writing a "Dear resdients" email gaslights you harder than any politician or landlord ever could

I'd like to have a word with the developers of the new @metrorailinfo.bsky.social MeteoPulse app because, on Android, the text and icons are so tiny, it's useless for me. The app shouldn't require 20/20 or better vision. It's really hard to launch a new app, and I really hate to bring negativity.
