You'll never beat D.C.'s traffic cameras, it seems.
Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pennsylvania), who introduced a bill to ban the cameras in D.C., stop the city from enforcing its no-turn-on-red law, and to prohibit any type of congestion pricing, was defeated last night.

If your vote didn’t matter, Elon Musk wouldn’t be spending more than $276 million to fuck with the midterms.

Can someone explain to me what the “maintenance” crews are doing out on a Sunday? And how they are allowed to go full steam ahead when there is STILL NO PLAN?! Contact us with info at [email protected] or Signal: Saveeastpo.04

“We’re going to make DC the safest city in America” is a great line. But Kenyan McDuffie was on the DC Council for over a dozen years while 911 broke down, MPD overtime spiraled, and crime data was manipulated.

Kinda surprised the folks concerned about Trump's plans for East Potomac Park haven't settled on the "Hands off our Hains" rallying cry, but maybe it's just the Dad jokester in me thinking out loud.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.

Barack Obama reached a deal that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Trump ripped up that deal.
Now we are at war with Iran to prevent it from getting a nuclear weapon.

Totally forgot about this.
The retirement savings accounts that Trump announced last night were already signed into law by President Joe Biden.
It was part of a big funding bill that Congress passed in 2022.
Division T. Secure 2.0

Trump is referring to the Savers Match program under the 2022 Secure 2.0 law, which expands retirement savings plans to millions of working Americans and incentivize savings with a gov-funded match for eligible workers, per a White House official.
It provides a path for an annual match of up to $1,000 for low-income workers. 56 million workers will be eligible, per the official.

Early State of the Union summary from a fact-check perspective: Less lying than in a totally-off-script Trump speech, but still a lot of lying. The economy was the single subject with the largest number of false and misleading claims.

For the people who are asking why Janeese: she secured 1.2M to keep librarians in schools, secured the biggest labor deal for RFK, increased wages for Black early childhood educators , secured the earned income tax credit and much more. She is who she says she is.

In 2016, the Council tried to take on so-called flushable wipes which can lead to significant clogs in the sewer system and we were sued.
District Court sided with manufacturer and utilities are left footing the bill on repairs.

600,000 gallons of raw sewage poured into the Potomac River Sunday night when wipes that had been flushed down toilets clogged 2 of the pumps that had been diverting sewage away from the river. @dcwater experienced an increased flow about half time of @SuperBowl @nbcwashington

Requiring women who have changed their name after marriage to spend money on additional, accepted forms of identification in order to vote is a poll tax.
There are 69 million women who will not be able to vote under the SAVE Act without having to pay.

A new report from the Committee on Public Works & Operations, which I chair, calls on the Mayor and interim police chief to rescind two orders that allow D.C. police to cooperate with federal law enforcement on immigration.

ALT The most significant finding in this process is the tremendous loss of trust between residents and MPD. It wasn’t inevitable. It could have been prevented. I hope that with this report we can set the department in motion to repair that breach – and to make sure this can’t happen again. Councilmember Brianne K Nadeau
