Coming home from a vacation at Universal Orlando and the contrast between the ads in MCO and DCA is nuts. Orlando: It’s a me, Mario! DC: This fukkin’ submarine will kill people without being detected!!!

In an administration that posts Nazi iconography online and is full of people with ties to white supremacist groups, what could possibly go wrong?

Do the big brains at NPS want people to drive to see the cherry blossoms? If you leave now, you might make it before peak bloom ends.

Today in
@wcp.bsky.social
’s daily newsletter, all of the politics stories (except those about the Post layoffs) are published by local newsrooms (that’s unusual, usually some are national). Each of them raises the Needle (an index of DC quality of life) by an unusually large 50 points.

This is what
@ddotdc.bsky.social
considers a cleared protected bike lane. It’s blocked by snow where I stood, and halfway down the block, it’s full of snow. There is no bike lane on this street right now. (Columbia Rd NW b/w 16th and 17th Sts.)

What’s happening at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is an absolute disgrace and subversion of civil rights laws. Its Trump-appointed chair is openly hostile to LGBT people and threw out the agency’s guidance on sexual harassment just so queers could be humiliated at work.

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.

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.

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.

A $25 minimum wage for D.C.? It might be on November’s ballot.
D.C. lawmakers have overturned the will of voters twice over ending the tipped minimum wage. Labor advocates are now aiming higher.
