Trump gonna be mad he doesn’t get thanked. He’ll probably swoop in & screw something up to get attention & fake credit.

Full bloom lotus flower with pink petals.

Passed through Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens today between visiting streams (literally, that’s my job). Saw this beauty.

Reminded of Mr. Rogers' testimony before Congress.

Amend the deal so it’s better (much much better) for DC taxpayers. Giveaways to billionaires while cutting back healthcare for the poor & gutting funding for the environment is a shameful flex.

Opinion | Reject the Commanders stadium deal Even after tweaks, the deal still amounts to corporate welfare that the NFL team and its billionaire owner do not need.

No entity has carried more water for Mayor Bowser over the last decade than the Washington Post Editorial Board. If they’re saying this is a bad deal, I have no clue why any CM would vote for this in its current form. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

The WaPa headline says: 60,000 Gazans were killed. 18,500 of them were children. These are some of their names. Then follows an enormous list of small print names

Thousands of small print names interspersed with some photos of some of the child victims

NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

The Washington Post has just published every single known name.

A seminal moment.

Happy birthday! Been there & done that...a few years ago, or was it last year. Heck, I can't remember.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

71%!

Before anyone says "how could the voters of Ward 8...," remember that 77 million Americans voted for a guy who had been convicted of 34 felony crimes, impeached a few times (though not convicted in the Senate), and had slew of other legal issues (fomenting an insurrection) hanging over him.

2025 gonna keep on 2025ing. Sheesh.

Agreed. Mind boggling.

White SUV with front end against yellow cinder block wall that’s collapsing from collision. In a parking & goodness knows how in the Sam hell the driver did this.

Drivers be trippin’.

Bumped into & thanked @gallego.senate.gov for supporting #DCStatehood as we were grocery shopping this morning.

Tottenham reach agreement for Kudus

#COYS Good Tottenham news! One of my favorite players: www.nytimes.com/athletic/647... Tottenham reach agreement for West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus

So the WaPo Editorial Board won’t weigh in on presidential candidates but will weigh in on…the Democratic nominee for mayor of…New York City. GTFOH you Bezos lackeys.

Car parked in bike lane.

How will the driver exit the bike lane? Reverse? Drive the entire block? Other?

And the GSA head said on camera they have no clue where they’ll go. Seems important.

I hope the Council isn’t really as weak & feckless as they appear to be regarding the FY26 budget. Lots of BIG talk about how bad it is, but no real action to change it. Sigh…

As soon as infrastructure week is over.

Good of happy people with DC flag!

Today, is flag day. Take a photo with the DC Flag today because the American flag doesn’t have a star for the 700,000 people who call DC home. The DC flag is our unifying symbol of pride & protest. Happy #DCFlgDay! #DCStatehood Share your photos with unitedforstatehood at gmail

Selfie with DC Flag behind me.

Today, is flag day. I’m honoring the DC Flag because the American flag doesn’t have a star for me, my family, & our 700,000 neighbors in DC. The DC flag is our unifying symbol of pride & protest. Happy #DCFlgDay! #DCStatehood

Two women standing with the DC flag.

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

I'd call my Senators and tell them to shut down the U.S. Senate right effin' now...if I had Senators.

Trump sides with white racist insurrectionists…again.

Screenshot of the Mayor’s proposed FY26 operating budget for DOEE which shows a 24.1% decrease from FY25.

For those curious: “-24.1%”

Proposing $1billion dollars to help build a football stadium on the banks of a polluted but improving river, while simultaneously gutting funding for river protection & restoration work is something. Sigh…
