This is the official artwork for next year’s National Cherry Blossom Festival, by Southeast-born and raised artist Chris Pyrate.
“There’s a lot of things here that call back to D.C. culture and the international presence in the city,” he says.

Politicians will gladly fight to limit e-bikes to 15MPH, but get really uncomfortable when you bring up the primary source of danger on city streets.

Obama on backlash about his Cheesecake Factory joke:
First of all, let me get this on the record. I am the father of two daughters. I lived at Chuck E. Cheese, and California Pizza Kitchen, and the Cheesecake Factory. That was my jam for about a decade. Of course, the real problem is prices have gotten so high, folks can barely afford to go out to eat. You would think that this administration would be spending time worrying about that.

Hear me out: @metrobardc, but made with Mobile Lounges. It could be the more sophisticated cousin to Metrobar.
Dulles Airport is moving to retire the Mobile Lounges, seriously.
The latest solicitation in the airport's $20 billion redevelopment includes the AeroTrain extension and tunnels necessary to retire Washingtonian's most loved-to-hate form of transport.

Incumbent presidents are supposed to partially reimburse the federal government when using Air Force One and other govt facilities for clearly political purposes. Is anyone keeping count of President Trump’s reimbursements?

Walter Koenig made Star Trek history w/his voice cameo in the 2023 series finale of "Picard."
He didn't appear as Pavel Chekov; but rather President Anton Chekov, leader of the United Federation of Planets; the son of his original character.
The name was a tribute to Anton Yelchin, who'd died in 2016 and had played Chekov in the JJ Abrams films.
This made Walter the last of the original cast to appear in a Star Trek series.

VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park
The plan was to turn a public park into a private tournament course for Trump & wealthy golfers. The trees stay while we fight it out in court
@DDFund_ & partners are on the case 👇- TN

Sign of the times: Someone chalked “National Guard Stay Away” outside an early voting center in Columbia Heights. There have been local and national concerns around federal agents (or the National Guard in D.C.) appearing at or near polling places ahead of next week’s elections.

BREAKING: Judge Reyes has issued a preliminary injunction over the golf course and begins with this:
"Rarely, if ever, has the United States Department of Justice urged a federal court not to believe the sitting President."

OBAMA: He pulled out of the JCPOA, starts this war—Seven months later, six months after they declared victory, how's that war going?
Our allies and our bases have been attacked. Americans have been killed. Hundreds of Americans have been wounded. We have run down our stock of missiles. And Iran now has veto power over the strait of hormuz, where oil goes through to the world market.
This is the reason why the price of oil is up. Nobody disputes that. This is the reason the price of diesel is up. This is the reason why the price of just about everything is up.
Meanwhile, you got the defense secretary who's squarely focused on important matters: the jawlines and testosterone levels of our troops.
These are not serious people. And the problem is you end up having to pay the price for their lack of seriousness.

Whether president of a college or president of the United States, a man who doesn't care about rape should not be in office.
