Arguably, the most lawless day in DC was Jan. 6, 2021. Another question: How much of the 1billion Trump’s “big beautiful budget” cut from the DC budget was for cops and law enforcement?

At the Trump presser did any reporter ask him for his source to justify his calling crime in DC out of control compared to the documented sharp decline in crimes in the District? If so, I’m not aware. No doubt he would’ve called it a “nasty question” and the government stats “fake news.”

At least they won tonight, 2-1 with a CJ Abrams walk off and a good 4 innings from newly returned Cade Cavelli.

my thoughts on Mort Mintz and Washington Post buyouts past and present.

Today’s history lesson: The Watergate break-in was often dismissed as a “third rate burglary.”
What brought Nixon down was not the crime but the coverup.
