The shooting of the two West Virginia National Guard members is heartbreaking, and a terrible tragedy for the District, the nation, and all those who love them. We are heartbroken at this senseless act of violence.

Wishing all the best to Mayor Bowser after her tough but heartfelt decision to not seek reelection
During Obama, Biden, & Trump presidencies, a once-in-a-century pandemic, & DC athletic accomplishments, Mayor Bowser has been there for the District. Come 2027, she will be missed.

I hope it was just an oversight, but unusually, @nbcwashington.com did *not* close out the 11PM news tonight with its usual Friday “Easter egg” of playing “My Mood” by MFSB in a hat tip to the late, great Jim Vance, who first suggested the tune as Channel 4 outro music 50 years ago
