We’ve heard now from several reliable sources that federal agencies may remove a substantial chunk of the 15th St NW protected bike lanes near the National Mall in February, possibly as early as next week.

On the one hand I think there are several structural factors that have brought Orbán to a reckoning; on the other, I choose to believe the prospect of a re-democratisation of Hungary is down to Troy Parrott.

How would you get a bicycle, or other micromobility device, in the hands of any District resident who wants one but doesn't own one yet? (Max. 1,500 characters.) Ensuring residents can reliably get around without owning a car requires making non-car options faster, more affordable, and more dependable. As Mayor, my focus will be on improving the performance of systems people already rely on, especially buses and walking. First, I will prioritize bus reliability and speed by expanding transit signal priority, enforcing bus-only lanes where they exist, improving stop spacing, and coordinating closely with WMATA on service planning. Faster and more reliable buses are the single most effective way to reduce the time gap between driving and transit, particularly for residents in neighborhoods with limited rail access. Second, I will invest in safe, accessible walking infrastructure so short trips can be made comfortably without a car. That includes safer intersections, better lighting, ADA-compliant sidewalks, and traffic calming in residential areas and near schools and transit stops. Third, I will ensure transportation costs remain affordable. Keeping transit fares reasonable, improving fare integration, and focusing investments in communities where residents face the highest transportation burdens will help reduce the need to own a vehicle. Finally, I will align land use and transportation decisions so housing, jobs, and services are located closer together, especially near transit and along corridors. When daily needs are easier to reach, residents have real alternatives to car ownership and can save thousands of dollars each year.

NEWS: the DC Council has proclaimed that the “D.C. Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025” is now officially law (L26-89), effective through Sept. 25, 2026! Regardless of how the Senate votes today, the 30-day review period ended Feb. 11!

New: Newly appointed CM Doni Crawford tells me she plans to run for the at-large seat in the special election, ending weeks of speculation about her political future.

Here's why she says she waited to announce her bid, and why she thinks she can win:
I bring nearly a decade of experience doing this work in the community, at the Wilson building, on the dais, but behind the scenes. And when I was appointed, I was ready to lead on day one. And I had a bunch of conversations with community members, I really wanted to prioritize hearing from them. And so that's why it took me a long time because I wanted to make sure that I had a team in place to support the community and I was actively listening to everything that they wanted me to prioritize and so now is the time for me to announce that I will be seeking the seat in the special election. I think what I have heard and what I believe makes me different is I am a very honest and authentic person. In all my conversations that's coming across, people have told me, you don't sound like a typical politician. And I embrace that and I don't ever want to sound like a typical politicians. So even when I've been having conversations with people and they've asked me how I feel about a certain issue. I think a typical politician would want to maybe kind of couch what they say. But I've been honest and there have been times I said, well, I don't think I could be with you on that issue and here's why. Or here's what I'm also thinking about as a reason to not say yes and you may want me to say yes, right? So I think that's been refreshing and I've heard that I've received feedback from resonance that this is something they haven't heard before.

The hypocrisy argument doesn't work. These guys have stated implicitly and explicitly for years that they want to make Washington DC a worse city. Over the past year they have taken every opportunity to do so.

"[Alabama] voted to actively decouple their state tax provision from the federal tax provisions. I don’t see any senator here trying to undo the state of Alabama’s tax code," says @vanhollen.senate.gov, noting that 13 states decoupled. He says it's "gross hypocrisy" to interfere in D.C.'s decision.

if we ever get out of this mess and the pendulum swings back, I don't just want statehood- I want some kind of super statehood. like 19 senators and every DC college gets an automatic bid to the NCAAs or something

Except DC, which seemingly never counts: “More than 2,500 National Guard members remain in Washington, D.C., in response to Trump’s ordered deployment, but under a nonfederal status. Their mission — part crackdown on crime and part sanitation duty — is expected to last until the end of the year.”

(Media) SCOOP: Weeks ago, the owner of the Washington City Paper had offered to purchase The Washington Post's sports and local sections, keeping their desks alive.

The Post reporters were laid off and the desks were shut down instead.
