They must have been looking for the MBT.

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text.

Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.

MAGA being forced to watch Kid Rock to prove their loyalty to Dear Leader. Now that's a cult!

So maybe donโ€™t put the racistโ€™s name on anythingโ€ฆ..

Heโ€™s right, and his wording is also apt in that it makes clear that it is hardly the first racist thing coming out of this White House.

Also, the Supreme Court that yโ€™all packed with spineless cowards made it impossible for folks to litigate these cases en masseโ€”a result yโ€™all advocated for!

I really donโ€™t have a lot of time for the United States government whining about the administrative burdens of its unconscionable, unlawful conduct.

Thank you for your service to the District. You and other local journalists deserve so much better, and we'll all be looking for ways to support folks who are part and parcel of our community.

turns out when Bezos suggested "democracy dies in darkness" it was a goal, not a slogan

100%. Iโ€™m just saying I understand prioritizing the sidewalk and that is the specific ask we escalated.

Well it was the sidewalks specifically that we escalated, and it looks like that was done. Great to have the bike lanes clear but Noyes ES students were apparently forced to walk in the street on Monday.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

The Senate votes today on a decoupling resolution that could drain DC's budget by nearly $700 million dollars, and block tax credits that could reduce child poverty by 20%.

It's time to take action. Head to DCFPI.org for information on what we can do right now.

Republican bill targeting D.C. could create tax season chaos Itโ€™s the second year in a row that Congress could throw a wrench into D.C.โ€™s budget.

If you're a D.C. resident, be aware: Paying your taxes this year could be total chaos. Why? Republicans in Congress are again trying to mess with the city's local budget and finances, something they know little about: 51st.news/republican-b...

NEWS: In a letter to congressional leaders, D.C. CFO Glen Lee says that if Congress repeals a D.C. bill decoupling the city's tax code from some of the Republican tax changes, he may have to suspend tax filing season โ€” possibly for several months.

Every bridge sidewalk located in Ward 5 is DDOT's responsibility to clear. Hat tip for CM Nadeau's team for obtaining this resource showing bridge clearance responsibilities by agency for the entire city. www.arcgis.com/apps/dashboa...

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Will be interesting to see if we live in a country where you can harass the hell out of a woman seeking an abortion on her way into the clinic but cannot call out fascist churchgoers outside a church!

Congress is trying to blow up the Districtโ€™s budget againโ€”and in the process undo tax cuts that we implemented to help District families.

Bullshit charges against journalists and political enemies that are going to get tossed out of court as quickly as this administrationโ€™s other shoddy work. Bondi and her cronies are an embarrassment and should be impeached immediately when the fascists and appeasers lose power.

Logged my 1st post storm bike ride today. Notes: Cabi has done an admirable job clearing out stations & keeping bikes in service. A trip to/from downtown will require some time on sidewalk or a car lane (choose ur poison). Lanes are either in remarkably good shape (PA NW, 9th NW, MBT) or impassible.

29.01.2026 23:43 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 14    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Off street MBT from M to Tanner Park (and I think points north) is in good shape. Probably will be hard to navigate around pedestrians in peak hours though.

On street MBT in NoMA also good from Union station to First street. *M street NE to the off street trail is not passable though*
