Pretty amazing listening to Dump play his hand during the broadcast about being involved with the stadium. "I've been heavily involved, making sure all the permits are approved."

President Trump would like the Commanders’ new stadium named after him, though no formal talks have occurred, ESPN reported. Trump will be in attendance at the team’s game on Sunday — the Commanders expect the topic may arise during his visit.
Trump Stadium, home of the Commanders? The president is not opposed.
No formal conversations on naming rights for the Commanders’ new D.C. home have been held.

Hey @karlbode.com, I think this is one of the nutritionless infotainment evergreen journalism at the Post you keep talking about. Meanwhile, no story about the Post's darling Vichy mayor of DC being investigated by the feds for a corrupt trip to Qatar.
New drone videos show orcas stalking and disemboweling young great white sharks, flipping them over and plucking out their nutritious livers.
Orca vs. great white shark: An unusual battle between apex predators
Great white sharks have virtually no predators. But newly released video shows orcas flipping great whites and eating their livers near Mexico.

NYC kicked Trump-endorsed candidate Andrew Cuomo to the curb. Now it’s time for DC to ditch Trump ally Muriel Bowser. The people of DC are furious with Bowser for co-signing Trump’s fascist occupation of our city. (1/2)

Yes of course, he *only* attempted.

News: Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George has started telling people she’s running for mayor, per several sources, confirming months of speculation about her political future.
She’d be the first major candidate to declare for 2026. Now the question: what will Bowser do?

I just want to add that bringing in driverless cars is absolutely not going to do anything for congestion because it still has cars on the road but instead having drivers who have to be responsible for their driving its this blackbox company with no solutions and no accountability
This interview correctly focuses on too many cars being the cause of congestion, and there is plenty of discussion about expanding and improving public transit. Yet nowhere in these 7 minutes are bikes ever discussed as a transit option.
Is Boston traffic getting worse?
