Or maybe it’s not at all about ideology. Maybe it’s about who people think will be a fighter @natesilver538x.bsky.social

Wow. You blame him for only coming is 2nd. Say he just didn’t try. And then put the weight of the team on him. Wow. And you’re his local paper!!

When you live in DC & jump out of shower because it sounds like you’re being bombed to hell (cuz it seems we need to worry about that these days) only to learn from a Google search that there is a major fireworks show & @mayorbowser.dc.gov & DC gov’t didn’t send the customary advanced text alert

You must be reading the wrong newspaper

Your headline doesn’t reflect the content of the articleβ€” which doesn’t really describe the social media tiff.

The very people talking about an AI bubble are those actively creating an AI bubble

Needs updating. The data are from 2020 and Biden is not on here.

He hasn't fired her. He's trying to.

when I was in grad school we used to intentionally put a typo on each page of our papers. If the prof caught it, we knew they were reading the paper.

The intent might be distraction but the effects surely are not.

And we’re asking you to do this because DC does not have voting representation in Congress

There was/is a protest happening. Y’all could come if you want

Didn’t Regan do something similar?

He may not be able to do anything according to laws and regulatory authority and rules. But it seems Carr, like Trump, could do whatever people and other institutions will allow him to do

Thank you for your no vote on CR. As a citizen of DC, thank you for this bill as well. Please lean on Schumer to step down.

Please join me in asking. Each time a dem politician posts, I make the request. Maybe if enough of us do it…
