@ DC journalists and activists: Department of the Interior, at the request of MPD, has decided to shut down Dupont Circle from Thursday to Monday.

The federal government says that at the request of DC MPD, Dupont Circle will be closed during Pride Weekend.

Surely MPD's beef with unauthorized celebration can be addressed by something short of closure?

It'd be like NYC cordoning off Stonewall or SF blocking off the Castro.

Good morning from the new Trader Joe's Trader Joe's opening in Edgewood today near Brookland metro station.

ANC5F, especially @aru.io , worked hard to get this grocery store open with licenses approved in record time.

The line started forming at 6:30 for the 9am opening!

Good weather means street repavings and patching are happening all over.

Please pay attention to no parking signs so crews can get in and get the job done without having to stand around waiting for the tow truck to take your car away

It was once known as Dave Thomas Circle. A year ago we started on a project to realign the intersection, expand pedestrian and bike facilities, and improve sight lines and safety. Mini parks, crosswalks, and seating.

Construction is wrapping up, here are some photos.

Councilmember Parker @cmzparker5.bsky.social raised the issue of cars ending up on the Metropolitan Branch Trail at today's DDOT oversight hearing. He pressed for action to harden bollards and space planters to prevent automobile entry onto the MBT.

I look forward to hearing DDOT's plans!

D.C.'s prosecutor is appointed by the President, unlike other cities where it is usually elected by the voters.

Trump's new interim appointee today fired ~30 of the ~400 prosecutors in the office. More details:
Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin has dismissed roughly 30 federal prosecutors who worked on Capitol riot cases in the Washington, D.C., office over the past four years, two people familiar with the matter said Friday.
Interim U.S. attorney fires more than 2 dozen Jan. 6 prosecutors in D.C.
