After triggering a local recession with mass federal layoffs and blocking DC from using $1 billion of its own money last year, Republicans in Congress are at it again. Today's vote threatens to cause chaos, blowing a $600 million hole in DC's budget.

Interesting: Per a new report from the Congressional Budget Office, the deployment of the National Guard in D.C. (now up to 2,950 troops) cost $223 million from August-December, and will cost $55 million per month onwards. That means up to *$880 million* through the end of 2026.

Rosedale Library remains closed today. However, the nearby branches of Northeast Library and Benning Library are open.

The Sierra Club has released a statement about RFK development along the Anacostia River floodplain. They recommend (1) enhancing natural floodplain barriers by restoring the wetlands, and (2) employing specific best mgmt practices where dev is unavoidable. www.sierraclub.org/dc/blog/2026...

We’re hearing from neighbors about residential streets still not plowed, & we share the frustration. Smaller plows were damaged by heavy ice, & large plows can’t fit many streets. Contractors are assisting. I’m tracking problem areas and pushing for progress ➡️ please keep sharing what you’re seeing.

A catastrophic sewage spill has been ongoing for several days. “So far, almost 300 million gallons have entered the Potomac River. The long term impact cannot be overstated.”

DC affordable housing production in recent years has focused in the city's low-income neighborhoods—areas largely east of the Anacostia River. On the other hand, areas west of Rock Creek Park have had few affordable units added. IZ has focused new affordable units downtown, but only ~300 unit/yr.

if you have enjoyed walking anacostia river recently, a huge debt is due to hundreds of young people like diamond teague and monique johnson. i wrote about their commemorations here. www.attucksadams.com/thelookingbl...

It’s pretty unsettling that @maustermuhle.bsky.social chose to quote two far-right operatives on X (Sibley and Poling) as authentic DC voices that praise the new NFL stadium design. 51st.news/commanders-s...

A correction here: The new D.C. Council subcommittee that will be chaired by Felder will oversee small and local business development policy, business improvement districts, and stadium development at RFK (except for planning, zoning, and permitting).

As we begin 2026, a new development threatens to further undermine voting by mail. A recent rule change at the U.S. Postal Service means that postmarks will no longer reflect the date a piece of mail was deposited at a local post office. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/how-...

An additional note on police shooting at cars: Back in the mid-1990s D.C. police shot at people in cars for alleged vehicular attacks 54 times, leading to deaths, lawsuits, and a change in department policy to largely require that officers not shoot at fleeing drivers.

“MPD has issued a critical alert for a missing 12-year-old girl, Reyna Pinkard, who was last seen on January 2, 2026, in the vicinity of the 1600 block of Benning Road, Northeast.” hoodline.com/2026/01/urge...

Moving Forward.

Happy New Year, everyone!! 🥳💗🎊

Excited to try these

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.
