100%. Most of my DC friends have only kept their subs because it’s their “local paper.” WP about to lose a lot more subs.

#FWD50 number nine (!!) is underway in Ottawa! @acroll.bsky.social on stage convincing us to optimize for One Metric That Matters.
Excited to see so many #civictech folks here for the next couple of days. Hope we get to catch up, y’all.
Looks like a painting!

a graphic showing the pantone numbers for the two core colors of the toronto blue jays. they are skydome blue (pantone 293) and Stieb Navy (pantone 282)
a hat and canvas tote with the pantone number for Dodger Blue (294 C)
I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

(And general admission tickets - no assigned seats- are only $1800!) 🤣
Very long. But let’s go Jays!
💙🩵❤️
Bottom of the 11th inning! This is what you want from championship games. But come on Jays, let’s hold em and then wrap this up!! 🤣💙🩵❤️

There is a new header on USDS.gov using partisan language to blame Democrats for what is about to happen with SNAP benefits. Too much text for an alt tag, but you can go read it — if you want to yell at your screen.
This is crazy. And crazy-making.

Timeline: Reconstruction of east wing Addition of Briefing Room Bill Clinton Scandal Muslim Brotherhood visits
Cocaine Discovered Trans Day of Visibility North and South flagpole Rose Garden renovations
These are screenshots from the ACTUAL WHITE HOUSE PAGE on the timeline of the East Wing. You may not believe what you re seeing. Go and check for yourself. This...I don't even know what to say about this.
24.10.2025 16:31 — 👍 741 🔁 209 💬 65 📌 74As a matter of law, there is no such thing as "federal immunity." Trump has broad immunity, but public employees enjoy only qualified immunity that does not extend if a "reasonable person" would understand their actions to be illegal. Stephen Miller is not a reasonable person.

Also, not only is the ballroom being funded by private companies and people, "The donations are being managed by the Trust for the National Mall, a nonprofit that help[s] manage such federal projects..."
A non-profit. So they'll get to write it all off! Disgusting.
Once more: "...history doesn’t matter; laws, procedures and customs are irrelevant; and there is no role for collaboration, transparency and review..."
The East Wing is just the physical manifestation of all the grift over the last 9 months.
