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!!!

Fighting antisemitism by demanding universities name the Jews

In an administration that posts Nazi iconography online and is full of people with ties to white supremacist groups, what could possibly go wrong? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

Judge Leon is so exasperated by the administration’s weak arguments that he writes “Please!” four times in his ruling 🤦‍♂️

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.

Looking forward to the Bowser administration’s storm response

I plan to mark this occasion by doing nothing for 3-5 days, then marking it as done

The mayoral candidate who permanently eliminates mosquitoes will get my vote

This should be embarrassing. A totem to DC’s inadequate storm response.

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.

Watergate began as a Metro story

Democracy dies in a billionaire’s profit and loss statement.

“I’m not selling the car. I’m keeping the chassis but replacing the engine, transmission, wheels, body panels, and interior.”

I got my 2025 unwrapped from @bikeshare.bsky.social. Did not realize my streak was so long! One note: I reduced my ebike use when the price increased in August. #bikeDC

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.

Digging out from the winter storm would be a great task for the DC National Guard. Too bad they are busy walking around U Street.

The walkways inside Franklin Square are shoveled but the sidewalks of its perimeter have barely been touched. Be downtown, and fall on your ass.

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

Ranked choice voting, explained with divas

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!
