@wmata.com Wish I had asked his name for a shout out b/c WMATA has an amazing staff member at Dupont. Held elevator for us last night. He shared how much he enjoys his job, and even had metro trivia for us. He is part of the team that keeps the elevator and escalators at the station really clean.

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

There’s no excuse to sit at home bored all day when this much fun is just a ride away! ⤵️ Take Metro to Clarendon Metro Park tomorrow from 11am-6pm to enjoy food, live music, tons of cool vendors, & free activities for kids! 🎶🛍️🎨🍔

I looked into the group and the guy pushing the FBI to create a new designation of “transgender ideology–inspired violence and extremism”—itself a political project, meant to conflate the fact of trans people’s existence with extremism.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, and who dedicated his life to hating and diminishing others, has died. I wrote this back when Pat Robertson, a man of equally immoral character, died, and it still applies: it is okay to speak ill of the dead when speaking ill is all the person merits.

Lest you all think I’m picking on some poor uneducated woman who just got swindled by the GOP’s lies, she is in fact a professional.

The BRICS are now trading more with one another than with America, and the gap is widening. China might be the biggest winner from Donald Trump’s reshaping of global commerce

I live where DC crime actually happens. Here's what Trump is missing.

NEW: More than ‎20,500 workers have left or been pushed out of federal health agencies, a ProPublica analysis found. Staffers say the cuts will leave their agencies less equipped to conduct studies, perform inspections and combat deadly outbreaks.

Not them removing the cracker and barrel

"National Guard is not trained in policing actions" "it actually negatively impacts military readiness" "young soldiers and airmen are political props" "This, in contrast, is where we should not have military on our streets, in our American cities. It is absolutely the way that dictatorships run"

The VA has canceled all Union Contracts!!! m.economictimes.com/news/interna...

BREAKING: The U.S. Air Force has decided to deny early retirement options for transgender service members with 15 to 18 years of service.

Blue Cross had refused to pay thousands of claims for the center’s patients, but on several occasions executives at the insurance company had signed special one-time deals with the center to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment. By @tchristianmiller.bsky.social

Me, lying in bed: “wow this is just like what former Beach Boys member Brian Wilson did”

As you know, school boards all over have been takeover by conservative activists who've targeted books and the rights of LGBT students. Did you know that there are elections THIS SATURDAY that could shift who controls some large boards in Texas? I spotlight two big ones in my guide, below.

JUST IN: Vice President JD Vance casted a tie-breaking Senate vote to kill a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Donald Trump's trade policy.

Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars to back Trump last year, much of it through dark money PACs that shrouded their spending in secrecy. If Trump really wanted to crack down on secretive election influence efforts, he would start not with small-dollar Democratic donors, but with Musk.

Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

America is not a Christian nation. America is a nation where the rich and powerful have reduced Christianity to just another tool to exploit for their own interests at the expense of the very people Jesus called us to serve: the poor, the hungry, the sick, the stranger, and the oppressed.

Take a minute from your day and read this chilling story about how quickly we've gotten to where we are.

remember like last week when legislators in korea were climbing fences and shit to vote against the president from declaring martial law, then subsequently impeached him? yeah good times

FWIW: This is a new thing. Young folks in DC have always tended to cluster somewhat by political affiliation, but working for the Bush admin in the early aughts didn't automatically make you a social leper. People were friends and dated across party & ideology. www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

I don't think 100 men could beat one gorilla...with the exception of Donkey Kong, who has been made weak and heartless by the decadence of fame

By the age of thirty you should have an all-consuming obsession with one era of history. If you haven’t yet developed a fixation on an historical era, one will be assigned to you shortly.

Slotkin and Newsom are married to popularism, which basically concedes the shaping of political attitudes to your opponents: bad-faith-times.ghost.io/popularism-t...

A decorated soldier who died protecting his troops was wiped from a military webpage. But his hometown won't let him be forgotten.

For generations of Black workers, federal government jobs have provided a path into the middle class. The Trump administration's workforce cuts are now throwing that sense of stability up in the air.

The reason people don’t trust you isn’t because you didn’t report Biden was old … that’s ALL YOU EVER REPORTED … it’s because you didn’t report that the other guy’s a fucking fascist!

What a sorry ass statement from this weak governor.

This mother is barely a year old herself. She has played a blinder keeping her babies alive. We brought them in today. They'll never go back on the streets. 4 little lives saved forever ❤️

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

Getting the HPV vaccine is cool. 10/10 recommend, as it's basically a vaccine against cervical cancer.

NEW damning details on Pete Hegseth: Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone. Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

Yes, I see.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has handed over control of the Department of the Interior to Tyler Hassen, a former oil executive and Musk staffer. Hassen, who came to the agency through the so-called DOGE, now has broad authority to cut costs and consolidate operations across the department,
