Congressional Republicans are going to deprive D.C. of $700 million in revenue and repeal a local program projected to reduce child poverty by 20 percent, solely to spite District residents and make us suffer. They’re also throwing our tax filing into utter chaos. This is a disaster.

Step 1: mismanage snow removal during the storm
Step 2: allow snow and sleet to freeze for multiple days
Step 3: begin to take action, realizing that steps 1 and 2 make step 3 impossible
Step 4: spin mismanagement w/ a new word equating basic public svcs as a new, insurmountable foe

@brianneknadeau.bsky.social something is amiss with the DPW plow tracker. We haven’t seen a plow since Sunday on the 400 block of Columbia Rd NW but it says it was serviced within the last 4 hours. Can you look into this?

Prof. Keck, I took Con Law I and II with you in ‘07-08. I wish we had memes like this back then!

Retire!

Oof! Good luck

Create new contours from the DEM? I came across this issue with a project that crossed county lines in VA - one co. was in meters and one in feet. It was the only thing I could think of.

… they literally have a Smithers. Good grief.

The District of Columbia is not an option in this quiz. Please fix this major omission.

This is a bit last-minute, but I’m looking for a PhD student to join a newly funded project at SUNY ESF starting Fall 2025. The work focuses on racialized ecologies, reparative land governance, and the layered histories and politics of plantations and forests in New York State.

Just wondering if the letter writer has taken a Covid test lately…

Just learned today that 92% of US import consumption is dolls for beautiful little girls. Higher than I would have expected!

Salvadoran President Claims He Lacks Humanity To Return Wrongly Deported Man WASHINGTON—During a visit with President Donald Trump at the White House, El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele claimed Monday that he “lacks the humanity” to return wrongly deported legal U.S. resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to America. “How can I return an innocent man to the United States when I don’t have the ability to feel […]

This article doesn’t mention that the painted mural became permanent cobble and concrete pavement sometime around 2022 (?) so removing it is a costlier and more time intensive project.

Deep cut

The Continuing Resolution would require the District to immediately cut $1 billion from a local budget that is already balanced — forcing deep cuts to police, firefighters, trash collection, homelessness services, and schools. It hurts everyone's goal of a safer and stronger DC.

It’s disappointing that the House, on a 216-214 vote, has chosen to ignore the facts. After having given us a green light in several previous CR’s to spend our FY25 dollars, the Republicans are now changing the rules and forcing us to cut back to FY 24 annual spending levels...

How many times per day can a person say “Are you fucking kidding me?”

Asking for myself.

Yes, but he does not have them properly seasoned like baddies in the early aughts, with frayed hems and and salt stains. Real ones know.
