@wmata.com D74 eastbound at Washington Circle #4653 has a dog sitting on passenger chairs. Completely illegal.

@wmata.com What is the systemic problem that leaves a huge gap in the 74 bus between 8-9am - peak ridership? This has been going on almost 2 weeks now. We were promised at public hearings the replacement for the 12 minute headways of 42/43 but 40+ minutes at rush hour? Screenshot below 8:10am today

Waited 35 minutes at stop #1001951 only for the D74 to show up as “bus full take next bus” why is commuting on this route always such a lack of priority for @wamata since they took away the 42/43 but promised us in public hearings better headways (no) and service (no) to get to foggy bottom?

Over an hour wait for a bus with supposed 15 minute headways during rush hour? Disappointing @wmata continues to neglect vital commuter bus services for civil servants at federal office centers.

"No one could have predicted the river would rise that fast. Except, of course, the thousands of federal employees who are no longer being paid to predict the weather."

And tonight I tried to get home from work on the D74. The driver (bus 7061 or 7064) went the wrong way at DuPont Circle and continued to drive south to 17th and H then stopped. Two days in a row @wmata.com I’m stranded trying to get home from work on the “better bus line” instead of 42/43.

@wmata.com definition of better bus service. It’s 5:01pm on a route that has 15 minute headways and your next bus will be here in…42 minutes. So much for federal workers by Potomac Park. Another slap in the face eliminating the 42/43.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

Bombing Iran is a great way to distract from how your administration is bombing elsewhere.

Says it all.

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Trump on Oct 1, 2024, saying that we are on the brink of WWIII and a “global catastrophe” because Iran just launched missiles at Israel, which never would’ve happened if he was president.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

A "significant share" of companies surveyed by the Federal Reserve said they raised the prices of goods and services unaffected by tariffs. One company said they did this to "enjoy the extra margin before tariffs increased their costs." See the problem here? www.axios.com/2025/06/04/t...

You don't get a job in the Taco Administration unless you know jack-shit about fuck-all for the position you were given.

Shall I be plain? I wish the bastards dead

I can’t believe the media covered up the fact that a clear mental incompetent was running the government while out of his mind on drugs, despite it being widely known in DC circles, to preserve their access to the White House. There should be huge recriminations for this.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Who’s doing the book on Trump’s cognitive decline?

“Who are you with” and “You’re a terrible reporter” are the last remaining clues that a question with any merit was asked. @nbcnews.com

Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it

Baldwin to RFK Jr: "Is funding for Alzheimer's research centers DEI? Because you're holding up $65m for 14 of those centers in 9 states, including UW Madison. Is funding for cancer centers DEI? Because you're holding up $47m in cancer center support grants at 9 cancer centers in 8 states."

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten...

Our trade deal so far is no tariffs on Rolls Royces and Bentleys and our refugee policy is white South Africans only.

Finally, honest and unbiased reporting. More of this please.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

👇👇🇺🇦

quite wild that ten years ago saying "yeah I'd back myself to do a better job than most senior members of the US government" would have made you sound like one of those dweebs who reckon they could take on Serena Williams in a tennis court, but the answer now is "I mean yeah, duh?"

Who could have thought that making a wildly unqualified, drunken bigot who championed war criminals and thinks the key to 21st century warfare is pushups the Secretary of Defense would go poorly, with mismanagement of the Pentagon?

Lil Marco is learning that diplomacy is difficult, despite the fact that his boss promised to end this war in 24 hours with one phone call & said it “wouldn’t even be that hard to do.” What he won’t say is this isn’t getting done because Putin WANTS war.

[guy who smashed a window at the capitol] “he made a mistake and was doing what he thought was right, let’s pardon him and give him back the fine he paid” [guy who stood outside home depot] “why would we bother with a hearing before sending him to the el salvador terror prison”

These stories landed today, within 11 hours of each other. This presidential administration is a clear and present danger to the American people.

My favorite part about this video claiming European designer fraud is their picture of “Europe” being the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City, Canada.

@wmata.com I want to commend early shift (finished @9:20am) driver on bus #7117 on route 43 today for dealing with a police blockade and being clear and communicative with passengers about the detour and urging coordination to make passenger boarding and leaving the bus fast and consistent.

okay now that you all have gotten a taste of America's rational and predictable new trade policy, everyone who wants to build your new factories here just form an orderly line

The failure isn’t the insane President. The failure is all the supposedly sane people pretending he’s not.

@wmata.com once again WHAT is going on with the 42/43 line? ONE bus going south on Columbia Road for between 8am and 8:50am today and by the 4th stop it’s so crowded no one can get on. You must do better.

So much saving and efficiency! Oh wait… 🤔

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

“i voted for him because i didn’t think he would do what he said he’d do”

The tariff negotiations are not going well.

Bait and Switch.

U.S. stores starting this when? Let’s let Trump get the credit for all his amazing economic policies!

The times do demand it
