Good organizers have told me that you should always celebrate your wins before moving forward. Congrats, Jefferson County!

Again, tough guys saying embarrassing things: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/u...

“Tonight shows that Dems need to run more progressive candidates who use #2 guards on their beards & talk like spoken word poets. Of course, I’m just extrapolating the results from 1 race in the most unique city in the world & applying it broadly! I’m a TV “political analyst!” - Literally, everyone

JUST IN: Spanberger, a former congresswoman, flips the governor's mansion from red to blue after campaigning against the Trump administration's federal layoffs and tariffs.

It’s Election Day in Virginia! Please VOTE. Here is helpful information ftom VPM news: www.vpm.org/elections/20...

I remember watching Twilight (and sequels) thinking, "adults had to say those words aloud & not laugh or feel embarrassed." Hard same here. When you have to clutch this hard, you aren't winning at all.

So wait...in the year 2025, @americanair.bsky.social doesn't have DC (Washington DC, District of Columbia, etc) in their drop down menu to create an AAdvantage account? Pre-1793, I get it, but seems a little outmoded today.

Tell me you don’t cook for a family or do your own grocery shopping…in one post.

Interesting to consider that for decades now the largest "housing agency" in terms of spending is the IRS

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing. Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

I don’t know, man. A party of deadbeats who refuse to show up and work when they’re still getting paid probably should avoid throwing stones

Johnson (who should pay us for the poor job he does) is choosing not to work - federal employees have no choice. Symbolic gesture from the MD folks, but appreciated. marylandmatters.org/2025/10/27/t...

NEWS: D.C. is joining 22 other states in suing the Trump administration over its decision to not tap contingency funds to cover SNAP benefits for November. Funding for SNAP will lapse this weekend because of the shutdown, and in D.C. almost 140,000 residents could be impacted.

Look, I know the world’s on fire, but tailoring for a terrapin is news I could use this morning today.umd.edu/testudo-meet...

Looks really exciting! Down on the mall today!

Tomorrow. D.C. The National Mall. Sunup to sundown.

A couple of years ago I learned that my little sister is a huge renaissance faire person. Complete with costumes and storylines. I like to give her a hard time about this. Today she responded to my jokes with, “how’s your Midsomer Murders marathon going?” Well played.

Everything bad in the world is the result of old men being contradicted and/or confronted with their own mortality, is the lesson here

Very important data and a telling report from the Comptroller's Office 👇 “Housing is unaffordable, and there are policies at the local and state level that impact that affordability”

Taking away the TOPA rights of tenants in buildings with 2-4 units without time for public discussion and consideration of all the potential implications - as evidenced by this report from Meagan Flynn - is a huge injustice to the community. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

One day folks will manage to do problem identification before making decisions…

They look like strippers heading to a hen night in Carrick on Shannon.

I think the president just stomped his feet & called us poo-poo heads in the schoolyard as all 7 million of us laughed, knowing 3 cops tackled an inflatable penis yesterday.

DC SAYS #NOKINGS, #FREEDC

Protests all the way up and down Rt1 from DC to at least Laurel, MD. Super integrated, loads of kids and elders. Festival atmosphere. The decade of humiliation will end with the American color revolution!

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

In this country, we have no kings. MEET US TODAY at 11 AM at John Marshall Park to rally as part of No Kings: DC Rising. Together we'll make it clear that the people of DC are joyful, powerful, and we have what it takes to win. See you there. #NoKings

Everyone has the constitutional right to protest, gather peacefully, and make their voices heard. Today, we are releasing guidance to make clear what is and what is not permitted under federal and local laws for protests in the nation's capital. Know your rights, DC:

Yeah the speed of bubble cycles are now faster than our ability to pivot. We will just be approving an AI textbook for a program that won’t start until two years after AI mania has completely receded

Big settlement here: Petra is one of several companies to use this "reverse voucher discrimination," targeting voucher tenants to get around rules limiting rents at these properties. But the city is still playing whack-a-mole until it makes reforms: washingtoncitypaper.com/article/7573...

I mean, I think old guys trying to pretend they’re at all relevant is stupid, but I don’t need to tell the talking heads about it.

Not my area, but if I were the AAG organizers, I’d make sure there was a pretty big room for this session.

After Trump got his Covid shot, he chose to fire the scientists protecting the rest of us from diseases.

"After a few moments of laughter, the No Kings Coalition issued the following statement"

California's governor has signed SB 79, a large-scale upzoning of land near transit throughout the state's largest counties.
