if Waymos improve upon human driving no other way than understanding the meaning of a red arrow, it would still be a tremendous boon to my experience as a a DC pedestrian

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.

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:

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

the local personal liberties op-ed section has written recently about tax policy in California and Massachusetts, but to this point has nothing to say about Congress fucking over DC tax filing and budget

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.”

No reason now Ein can’t still hire these people and rebuild his reputation as a guy who actually cares about local media.
(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.

I wish more people on this website would share 1) place-bound info 2) about stuff they are experiencing 3) in real life. Takes and reactions and discourse is great and all, but, like, tell me you saw a cool dog in Columbia Heights and I’m far more appreciative
