I would like to amplify this post by 1000x because Reuters f'd up this story to start with -- by falsely reporting that Costco would no longer carry mifepristone, when it never did -- and other news outlets ran with it and far-right legal groups are taking credit for something that didn't happen.

hillskitchendc After 17+ years of owning Hill's Kitchen, it is time for me to pass the baton. I am thrilled to introduce amazing people to continue the legacy of Hill's Kitchen. After this weekend, Sarah and Miles will be the new owners of the store. They are excited to get to know you all, join our amazing Hill's Kitchen community, and bring new energy to the store. - Leah As the new stewards of Hill's Kitchen, we hope that the heart of our store is shaped by the same passion and love for food that has always been at the center of our lives, whether in a bustling restaurant kitchen or around our cozy dining table at home. As former restaurant professionals, we're here to offer up our expertise, share a few recipes, and provide a space where everyone —home cooks and professional chefs alike-can gather, learn, and celebrate the joy of cooking together. Our mission is simple: to make your kitchen experience richer, more joyful, and a little bit bigger-just like the dining room table we've always cherished. - Sarah and Miles

After 17 years, Leah Daniels of Hill’s Kitchen has sold the store and Sarah Needle and Miles Hamilton will take over the space. Have wonderful adventures, Leah, and welcome Sarah and Miles!

⚠️ DC CONSUMER ALERT ⚠️

DC residents continue to receive scam toll texts that demand payment for unpaid tolls.

These text messages are an attempt to steal your personal information and hard-earned money.

You should ignore, delete, and report these scam toll texts.

Capitol Police report D Street SE between New Jersey Avenue and 1st Street SE is closed due to a Water Main break. Please use alternative routes.

All of the information on this is good. HOWEVER, I can't seem to find a listing of which bus stops will remain; only those that are eliminated. Does that exist anywhere by new bus line?

Heads up regarding this military gun salute tomorrow…

Nothing helps you appreciate how underpaid and overworked a TEAM of teachers/support staff are, more than the IEP process.

It's almost always a battle and you have to fight for as much as you can. It's also eye-opening to your privilege, as you know many families don't know how/where to navigate.

We're so happy that Kailo has found a home with an amazing forever family! Our program Paws Of Love gives a goldendoodle puppy and a year of puppy care costs to those who have been directly affected by gun violence. If you or someone you know has been directly affected, visit the link in our bio.
