well now I know how to say “losing” in Portuguese

You will not believe how much sweet, sweet answer spills out when you hit this question premise with a stick.

When coming across a claim that is entirely counter to conventional wisdom, perhaps one's *first* instinct should be "Hmm, I wonder if that goes away if we look carefully" rather than "Ooh, how juicily contrarian! Let's hype that shit up."

what if Brighton are really good?

Capitol Hill spook

New from me: For the Liberalism.org site, I wrote about the 30th anniversary of AEDPA, the worst criminal justice law passed in my lifetime. www.liberalism.org/p/how-the-an...

I have never been prouder to be an idiot. And a 45-year-old. Also Dude, nomenclature.

James Talarico here, throwing a Hail Mary. Our FEC deadline is tonight

TLDR: a third-string QB threw interceptions and lost fumbles

Today DC disclosed to bond investors that in mid-November it expects to sell about $525 million of revenue bonds backed by a citywide gross receipts tax to finance a football stadium, a debt service reserve, capitalized interest during construction, and bond issuance costs

man I hate the New York Yankees tho

Infuriating that OCF issued fines against a campaign on the eve of the election based on zero evidence. But there’s more! They also have zero legal authority to issue fines, except in the simplest cases involving a campaign’s failure to file reports. Otherwise OCF must bring a case to the Board.

Shameful #FreeDC

From J6 insurrection to Schmitt's humiliation, there is a straight line. The latter covered up the former to confuse understanding of Trump's treason. A THREAD.

It would be better if the headline here were about a dipshit auditor who made a wild accusation about a large budget error and turned out to be wrong, like that dipshit U.S. senator was

Diesel at record high prices and why no trucker convoy in DC?

“White House complies with court order” is a “Man bites dog” novelty

I wrote about how Trump is treating presidential power like it's his own possession and using it to punish blue states — but also about how at least he's promised lots of cash for all of us. www.ctinsider.com/columnist/ar...

Last week I presented to ODCA colleagues on using an LLM to research legislative sources faster. After answering a prompt, the LLM offered to write “ODCA-style” audit criteria. I said yes. Then LLM offered to write up a whole audit finding. I said yes. I had provided no facts, mind you.

Congratulations to these local news outlets. And curses upon the Washington Post, which serves its few remaining readers some goddamned videos of right-leaning whiteboys sharing billionaire-friendly opinions

Always fun explaining the Posse Comitatus Act to our occupying forces #freedc #nationalguardgohome

I see two possible explanations for this text message: 1. Anti-democratic forces that control the government are using phishing tactics to deceive American voters 2. Democratic Party leadership remains unfathomably bad at political communication

Washington, DC area is considered one of the best places to work in the country. Indeed ranked DC the second-best city in 2026, based on career opportunities, pay, job quality, & more. 👏💼 We're proud to keep the region connected to the jobs & opportunities that make it such a great place to work.

Please let's not forget that DC United is in the middle of a 50% sales tax abatement incentive and only have to pay 25% of its real estate tax obligation. The first five years of land occupancy was 100% abatement of both, and the abatements phase out. Which is obvi why they want more DC money now.

I mean, it's already mostly happened in the lower ranks, but this is symbolic of what the Trump Administration has meant for the DMV: an assault on Black influence and opportunity not seen since Woodrow Wilson.

During the GW Bush presidency—a disaster in its own right—I would have dived into a story like this, hunting for lessons to be learned. The Trump presidency is so stupid that I probably won’t ever click this link. Don’t put a bigoted television personality in charge of the defense department. 🤷‍♂️

I’m in a (another?) fucking-burn-it-down-then mood over the Supreme Court’s decision, which boils down to this: The blatantly illegal East Wing ballroom project is NOT a “case… arising under this Constitution [or] the Laws of the United States” within the meaning of Article III.

The square dance at Pierce Mill on Sat was hours of pure joy. Sadly at 10 pm HSI and US Marshals showed up in cars with blacked out plates But then a dozen+ people stepped away for an hour to document and ensure an Uber driver was not taken by them. So proud of DC. #FreeDC

One can only wonder whether the grand jury passed on additional counts, but congrats to USAO-DC for advancing a federal case past the very first step

Local news is a public good: it benefits all of us more than consumers are willing to pay for it. (How many substacks/news sites can you justify subscribing to? And people on bluesky are in the 1% of the public most engaged w/ news) We can't rebuild local news w/out public intervention.

“Crap-ton” is a econometric term meaning “too much,” not to be confused with the metric shit-ton

ah dangit this new track makes me want to dance with my pug who died 15 years ago

Right now the most tangible and graphic thing Trump is doing in DC is ICE and the National Guard using our DC public elementary school parking lot, which is full to the brink every school day with teachers’ cars, as a staging ground to harass and surveil us.

If Newton can learn to wear a powdered wig, why can’t he learn to use a pronoun? Anyway the #1 irredeemable sin of academia in Newton’s judgment would be the use of Leibniz notation. Get over yourself, professor
