Ranked Choice Voting seems like a threat to repaving the same intersection 4 times in the same year.
CM Anita Bonds just issued the following “Statement Regarding the 11/24/25 BOE Readiness Roundtable”:
“Be clear – this was in no way an attempt to reverse course on ranked choice voting. […] The job now is to ensure that the process is implemented to the best of our ability.”

There’s no better metaphor for Bowser’s legacy than all the ”rat-proof” supercans rolled out in her first term, which now all have ratholes and the city can’t figure out how to replace.

Also what it’s been like in DC, you just don’t care as much because we can’t vote. If you’d given us the vote in 2021, this wouldn’t be happening.

Hey @wmatagm.bsky.social, the D6X nearly refused to let me and my six year old at Franklin Park, where we’d been waiting at the stop with the D6X sign for ten minutes.
Driver: “we don’t stop here, we stop down there.“
Assuming that’s true, please fix your signs!

Onion’d in the line of duty. If he wasn’t CBP illegally deployed to my home, I’d feel sorry for all the nicknames he must now have.
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Art makes life worth living. 24 years and a month ago, I popped Hot Shots II into my discman plugged into my ‘84 sedan’s cassette deck as I left my parent’s house in Iowa and drove to DC for a girl. Last night we got a sitter to see @thebetaband.com at the 930 club. Thanks for coming to DC!
