10/10 title for a published piece of writing.

“USDOT said the ​regulation will reduce manufacturers' average cost per vehicle to comply by $1,289 but increase fuel costs by more than $1,600 over the ​life of the vehicles.” 🤌🤌🤌 www.reuters.com/business/aut...

Banning Chinese cars is a sure fireway to make Americans pay for (and burn) more Trump-priced gas while they drive large, expensive trucks and SUVs

Maybe we should let the kids rideshare to school since they are doing it already?

I see that the DDOT/DMPED downtown transportation planning has yet to produce a concrete recommendation in 2 years…..

These morons are running the country and the economy into the ground, and still the incompetence on display daily continues to astound. Make it stop.

you see, no one has standing when it comes time to sue the president because he is a very special birthday boy

The Supreme Court needs wholesale reform. Doubling the number of justices, establishing mandatory ethics rules, and creating term limits—perhaps by using senior status—is a moderate position.

Nope, we’re not. Downtown DC has had ongoing road closures since July 20 for this one event. And that will stretch until the first week of September. 7 weeks of this is enough.

Too chicken to fly the security risk he created through his own corruption. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/10/u...

Up the Green!

One of the myths of car ownership is that users fully pay for infrastructure costs. It’s only partially true, and in DC, it is not particularly true. Especially with the gas tax on the decline, it’s time to consider other options to sustainably fund the costs of building and maintaining our roads.

Just canceled my DashPass and sent this email to DoorDash. I encourage you to do the same if you support D.C. home rule. press@doordash.com and ir@doordash.com

Even with this ANS, this would mean DC would need active congressional approval for things like local real property tax abatements, tax incentives for development deals, etc. This is an expansive overreach by the so-called party of small government.

I’m new to this—can we get FIFA to suspend Belgium’s 4 goals?

Trump take red card

Another sidewalk gap in Ward 5 closed! This one is on Brentwood Parkway near KIPP DC in the Union Market area. Thanks to @ddotdc.bsky.social for the new model they launched this year to guide where gaps still exist and need to be closed. Check out the dashboard: sidewalkgap.ddot.dc.gov

Is this the Subway sandwich case of 2026?? Because what do you mean we’re charging people for sticking their hand in the reflecting pool? 🙄 Should be an easy one for a DC jury.

Pretty sure that JLG would handle this better than McDuffie, fwiw.

Mechanics keep our customers moving. Our repair schedule hasn't gotten any lighter in the past year. We need an additional set of experienced hands. Must be pro-cargo, pro-electric. washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/ret/d/wa...

More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion during the past six months. Yes, that's billion with a "B." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Are they all to himself?

Plans to “pedestrianize” 8th street by using the sidewalk as free parking are clearly coming along!

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger endorsed a constitutional amendment to automatically restore voting rights to people with felony convictions when they leave prison. State lawmakers passed the amendment and it will now appear on the state ballot.

IMHO all of 4th street NE between T street and Michigan should be converted to curbside protected bike lanes, but this is a great down payment (along with a bunch of other sensible improvements for all users in this corner of Edgewood).

Has everyone who voted for this reckless moron had enough yet?

Turns out huge permitting delays at the hands of NPS—something we’re all familiar with in DC—played a big role in the potomac interceptor failure. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Shocker

We should try this sometime. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/b...

This should be a national embarrassment, especially for any American politician who calls themselves pro-family. www.nytimes.com/2021/10/06/u...

The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide when the nation goes to war. President Trump’s strikes on Iran are flatly unconstitutional. There’s been no deliberation, no vote, no clear justification. This is a flagrant abuse of executive power.

DC folks! There's an important school safety NOI out for Langdon Elementary. If you could take a minute to to express your strong support for converting the timed one-way to a permanent one-way (with a contraflow bike lane to narrow the road to boot), please do! tinyurl.com/langdon-oneway

Please flag these for DDOT as a "Roadway Markings/Pylons" service"" request via 311: 311.dc.gov/citizen/s/

About damn time.

Grateful for this single planter on the R street entrance to the MBT. Still dreaming of a DDOT that can take simple steps to protect residents without requiring 3 years of advocacy.

Pleasantly surprised that the court did the right thing. This was not a close call on the law, and Trump has wielded this power in exceptionally corrupt ways.

Parents feel the impacts of cuts to programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families directly. In a recent focus group conducted by @dcfpi.bsky.social, one D.C. mother said, “If my children can’t eat, they can’t go to school and be productive.” Proposed cuts could go into effect this year:
