Spotted a crew clearing a @bikeshare.bsky.social station 👀

I walked to and from my destination in the street because it had been taken care of better than the sidewalks. Extra special 🤨 to the buildings where someone shoveled out the driveway but didn’t touch the sidewalk.

Watching the DC Bike Walk and Bus PAC Ward 1 candidate forum and one thing is clear so far: candidate Terry Lynch (off camera) is wrong on every issue.

Missed this story the other day: Since 2019, DC has added 50 miles of bike lanes and 11 miles of bus lanes. But commute times have not changed, sinking opponents' arguments that the new infrastructure would cause havoc.

Sheer joy in Malcolm X Park @capitalweather.bsky.social

Looking forward to the reaction from critics who dinged Elissa Silverman for not being a DC native when she ran for reelection to this seat

No way

FYI if you're heading out tonight -- Metro rail and buses are fare-free after 8 pm. And there's a code to get $15 off your Lyft ride.

Unless something unexpected happens, this is the final tally of my year in reading. Definitely my most literary year so far.

Reporting what the government is doing on our behalf, with our taxpayer dollars, is a core element of journalism. That the government refuses to explain itself is part of the story. It is not a reason to withhold reporting.

Miracle, publicized

Happy anniversary to this email from @mayorbowser.dc.gov

The tip wage ballot initiative is dead! Long live the tip wage ballot initiative!

"Calvinball has only one rule: There are no fixed rules. We seem to have two: that one, and this administration always wins.”

Business owners constantly say they need clear guidelines so they can actually run their business. There simply was no need for the Bowser administration to upend the new normal.

Wondering where the before/after is for the $750,000 DDOT spent on streateries in Adams Morgan

Shout out to all the supermarkets that set up their Hanukkah displays and remembered the matzah

I simply can’t understand the city’s obsession with reducing customer capacity to make room for car parking

While you're shopping for deals, remember that Starbucks workers are on strike! Do not cross a picket line!

Excellent!

Why did we get winter today?

Axios has already given up on Randy Clarke for mayor

Incredible. The story says the probe may be hampered because the lead FBI agent was fired for being part of the criminal inquiry into Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

News: the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee today unanimously approved three nominees for DC Superior Court, where judicial vacancies are causing delays

Now that national politics are over forever, bring on the 2026 DC elections!

LMAO

I see someone once again has written me an email addressed to John rather than Jon

WAMU is reporting that Kenyan McDuffie (I) is likely to run for mayor as a Democrat. He’d register as a Democrat and Anita Bonds (D) would switch to independent, because two of the at-large council seats must be held by a non-Democrat.

Would love to learn what takeaways the pilot produced. A pilot without a post-implementation analysis is just lighting $750K on fire.

This absurd plan is what happens when you ask Grok to design your ballroom. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Court staff doing the absolute most

Absolutely bananas that this hearing on policing is being conducted by the committee on public works (Nadeau) and not the committee on public safety (Pinto)

I don’t know if she’s going to run for mayor, but these are the policy positions we should be hearing from the mayor’s office www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

The same folks who want to charge 14-year-olds as adults suddenly think 24- to 35-year-olds in a racist group chat are just “kids.”
