Reminder: Markwayne tried to physically fight the president of the Teamsters in a public hearing.

I suspect not much will change about the temperament and operations of DHS if he is confirmed.

Florence ICE detainee dead after untreated tooth infection, official says An ICE detainee, who had been at a Florence detention center for four months, died Monday following an untreated tooth infection.

“A Haitian asylum seeker held for four months at Florence Correctional Center died Monday at a Scottsdale hospital due to complications from an infected tooth, a local official in Chandler said Tuesday.”

I want people to stop clogging up the system.

I put this “flushable” wipe in water on Thursday, Feb 26. Today, 6 days later, it’s still in full form. Personal flushing practices are harming the system we all use and I encourage my @mwcog.bsky.social colleagues to join the effort.

No lead is safe with Unrivaled.

This Unrivaled game is so good!!

The defense is 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾.

One of my favorite questions that I got last year at the National Press Club. 😂

😂😂 here you go…

Part 2 of Battle of the Wipes is here. We take a look at the 24 hr mark and then 5 days later. ⬇️

So based on this weather, I guess we are here at Third Winter?

Ummm….the choice of Booker T. Washington and Catharine Beecher here were choices. 🧐

Let’s talk about the nemesis to water utilities everywhere — flushable wipes.

Charles Allen celebrating 10 years of Books from Birth

Books from Birth 10th anniversary cake

Charles Allen and a child at the Books from Birth 10th anniversary event

The 10th anniversary event at the library for Books from Birth

10 years. 3.6 million books. 103,000+ DC children served. 📚

Books from Birth started as the first law I passed — and today it’s helping nearly 31,000 kids build home libraries across DC.

Proud to celebrate this milestone with @dcpubliclibrary.bsky.social today!

The complete abdication of duty by the Congress is stunning to watch.

They knew what he was planning and they kept putting off the vote.

I think more people should be questioning why every other tech company went along with DoD’s demands with no safeguards.

Why are they comfortable with their tech being used for fully autonomous weapons??

Road Runner is pretty reactive instead of proactive in my opinion.

Why am I over here like, “Well, Donald Duck has quite the temper. Coyote has imagination but he consistently fails to achieve a win.” 😂

Just a reminder, Anthropic has requested the following:

- Claude cannot be used to spy on US citizens
- Claude cannot be used to automate kill decisions

But DoD thinks that’s unacceptable?

The vitriol looks familiar.

The way this man uses the #SOTU to exploit people’s trauma could be studied.

Besides the hockey team, has anyone been invited/highlighted for something positive?

Standing ovation at every single sentence gives cult. #SOTU

Only 4 Supreme Court justices in attendance. Did they have rock paper scissors to make sure it wasn’t only Roberts? Lol! #SOTU

I do find it interesting that no one will disclose “the amount of revenue generated by the league or the number required to trigger the revenue sharing.” 🧐

📣New for Monday, February 23:

DC Public Schools will open with a two-hour delay.

DC Government will open on time.

Looks like TSA has reversed course on PreCheck for now….

🙄 Back to using travelers as leverage now, even though DHS is sitting on enough unspent money to last multiple fiscal years.

They didn’t even stop PreCheck & Global Entry during the last government shutdown because those programs actually require *less* staffing.

Happening now: Part 2 of our DC Health hearing with the government witnesses ⬇️

I picked up a rat today. 😩

We could put a dent in our rodent problem if we deployed a new strategy for our public trash and recycling cans. What we have now looks aesthetically pleasing, but they lack the functionality we need to stop rodents and illegal dumping.

Labor Secretary’s Husband Barred From the Department After Sexual Assault Reports

So let me get this straight — the Secretary of Labor had an affair with a member of her security detail. And now her husband is getting barred from the building because of reports of sexual assault by 2 staffers?!

And this is maybe the 4th craziest thing today.
