Every bad thing Mayor Bowser does is like "well she agrees with stephen miller on this" and every good thing she does is like "well she gave the farm away to her donor buddies for a sub par product" - and that's the entirety of her tenure. DC needs a good mayor so badly.
“How D.C. developers made big money on a taxpayer-funded housing project -
Developers with political ties to Mayor Muriel E. Bowser stand to collect millions of dollars more than housing experts say is normal for an affordable housing project.”

How D.C. developers made big money on a taxpayer-funded housing project
The Ethel was built on land provided by the city and benefited from a cascade of government subsidies that helped enrich its developers, a Washington Post investigation found.

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."

Left-NIMBYs be like "your strategy of building homes for people pales in comparison to my strategy of firebombing blackrock" and then not firebomb blackrock
Zohran adding YIMBYs to his transition team is resulting in some absolutely incredible Left NIMBY crashouts over on Twitter. This is my favorite.

It's funny that we only ever say "out of town" and never out of city, out of village, out of unincorporated area or whatever. We've got people from downtown Manhattan and people living as a hermit in the middle of nowhere both saying "oh sorry I'm out of town right now"...🤔😂

Nothing exposes the idiocy of NIMBYism more than the fact they relentlessly keep insisting criminals board the city bus with your big screen TV after burgling your house instead of using a getaway car 🤨
Well this one just about checks every alarmist dog whistling box huh?

The powers that be keep screaming at us that locking up more and more people reduces crime and improves public safety.
Is that really true, or could it be like saying "the Earth is flat" which seems obvious only if you just don't actually look into it at all 🤔?

A @nytimes.com investigation has found that state prison guards have been credibly accused of engaging in such behavior — putting inmates in restraints and then assaulting them — far more often than was previously known.

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? 👀

Feeling a lot of pain over that loss. This nevertheless feels like a very accurate synopsis of the match. 2 equally spectacularly talented teams with 1 unfortunately bad decision that was taken advantage of. The 2 best teams in the #NWSL
Totally, it was the wrong decision, and one that was very reasonable to make.
On some level, this match came down to the team that took advantage of their circumstantial advantage. Gotham score with Hal hindered. Spirit didn't when Reale on yellow.

Thank you @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social, our beloved streeteries have made DC a livelier, safer place and they must be saved!
Charles Allen will be introducing emergency legislation to revise the DDOT/DOB streatery regulations before they are implemented to lower the cost and add more flexibility

Free busses are fine. It's okay that they're not the #1 best thing.

NEW: Sean Duffy frequently calls safety his “top priority” as transportation secretary. But I spent months wading through regulatory notices and found something far different: that USDOT has been delaying, weakening and killing dozens of safety rules, many opposed by the transportation industry.🧵

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Have heard Bowser is doing this (effectively making most streeteries close) bc she personally hates streeteries, even though they are widely popular and beloved in this city. DC has such a weird, hateful mayor and she cannot be gone soon enough.
Axios confirming my earlier report that Le Dip is taking down their streatery (again they don’t actually have to yet, they can submit a permit request and keep it while pending review)
