Exit polls say Abigail Spanberger won young men 56–42 today. Talk about a narrative buster.

Commonwealth over chaos

Judge rules Trump can't act as national police chief The president broke the law when he deployed troops to Los Angeles, Judge Charles Breyer ruled.

I studied the century-old Posse Comitatus Act in law school. The law, which President Trump violated, is designed to protect American civilians and service members. Again, we see this Administration engaging in ILLEGAL acts that threatens our security as a nation.

Attention all Alexandrians,

We just finished hearing that project. Was going to message you since you mentioned both.

Yes, the roundabout passed unanimously but reversal of one-way on Ashby failed. Three members voted to reverse; four opposed.

Just wanted to let you know that the recommendation for the figure-eight roundabout at Glebe & Mt. Vernon was approved unanimously by the Board.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts!

A political candidate canvassing in light rain.

A little rain won't keep me from canvassing!

Thanks for sharing. My initial reaction was the same: it's a good solution for a bad intersection.

Appreciate the flag on the directional change.

That was my thinking too when it was proposed. It looks odd but also like a good solution.
I'm looking forward to the discussion with staff about the design shift. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Thanks for sharing. I liked the figure- eight roundabout design (AKA peanut-about) when proposed. Curious to see why the design shifted.

That was the original proposal but staff pulled the docket item to conduct more community engagement.

There was some concern that folks wouldn't understand how to use it.

Do you think a roundabout is a better solution? It's coming before my board on Monday evening so changes can still be made.

The FTC Just Banned Noncompete Agreements And It's A Huge Deal Commissioners approved the historic regulation on the grounds that noncompetes stifle competition for workers. A legal challenge is all but certain.

The FTC has voted in favor of adopting a historic ban on noncompete agreements

The agency has said that the agreements, in which workers are forbidden from seeking a job with a competing business for a certain period of time, lead to an “unfair method of competition” and violate federal law

Do you like coffee and local politics?

Then join me on Saturday from 8-10am at St. Elmo's (2300 Mt. Vernon Ave.) for a casual conversation - no speeches - over a delicious cup of coffee. The only hard questions are: hot or iced? Do you want room for cream?
