This is how you communicate bus detours! Wish WMATA would do the same, instead of vague alerts that a bus is “on detour” without telling anywhere which road(s) it is detouring to.
On Thursday, November 27, Line 33 will detour around the Del Ray neighborhood from 6:00AM - 12:00PM during the Alexandria Turkey Trot.

I heard there was a Cohen song,
And all the Christians got it wrong,
But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

A councilmember who won his primary last year with 23.7% of the vote wants to delay implementing ranked choice voting. The at-large CM who won her last primary with 35.9% agrees that making her run for reelection next year under RCV would be a bad idea.
Felder continues to be critical of the election board's capacity to pull off ranked-choice voting in 2026.
"Before we roll out something of this magnitude I would think we need to do a needs assessment," he says to Evans. "You’ve been tasked with an arduous task. It’s unfair."

Voters were clear that this was what they wanted. It’s a good program that expands democracy and the Board of Elections has told us they are ready to implement. It’s time to move forward.
Fresh off grilling elections officials at a hearing yesterday, Wendell Felder introduces a bill meant to delay the implementation of ranked-choice voting.
A similar push failed during the budget talks. And, FWIW, BOE said Monday it was on track to have RCV ready by June...

How about we just get rid of elections entirely? Mr. Felder can just do whatever he wants and we’ll thank him for it. What a wonderful man.

I read this article, and I'm confused about the aside that the DHCD director and the woman who oversees the HPAP program are both members of the same sorority.
Is that a coincidence, or is there something about membership which is relevant to the fact that mismanagement happened on their watch?

DHCD failed to spend about $1M allocated for its first-time homebuyer assistance program. The agency told applicants earlier this year that the program ran out of money. Fully story:

Fuck ICE always and forever.
An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀
