Incredible. The story says the probe may be hampered because the lead FBI agent was fired for being part of the criminal inquiry into Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
Oh wow: The @nytimes.com reports the Department of Justice is reportedly investigating @mayorbowser.dc.gov for corruption over a 2023 trip she took to Qatar. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

WAMU is reporting that Kenyan McDuffie (I) is likely to run for mayor as a Democrat. He’d register as a Democrat and Anita Bonds (D) would switch to independent, because two of the at-large council seats must be held by a non-Democrat.

Would love to learn what takeaways the pilot produced. A pilot without a post-implementation analysis is just lighting $750K on fire.
DC reportedly spent $750,000 last year for a pilot for streateries in Adams Morgan to show how they could continue in future.
Now 15 months later it seems virtually none of them will remain in Adams Morgan, and DDOT is moving forward to bring back parking

Court staff doing the absolute most
A civil attorney who Trump enthusiast Lindsey Halligan brought in to prosecute the Letitia James case screwed up his initial appearance and the court had to give him step-by-step instructions about how to save a PDF.

Absolutely bananas that this hearing on policing is being conducted by the committee on public works (Nadeau) and not the committee on public safety (Pinto)
"It was alarming we were hearing one thing from elected officials but in reality something else was happening on the ground."
Advocates want the D.C. Council to publicly question MPD about their cooperation in immigration enforcement.

The same folks who want to charge 14-year-olds as adults suddenly think 24- to 35-year-olds in a racist group chat are just “kids.”
Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."
