WMATA goes elbows out against the competition. Great to see a transit agency act like a top-tier transport enterprise, not an "alternative." Kudos to @wmatagm.bsky.social who promotes this attitude throughout the organization.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

Simpler USA message to international tourists: Don’t come.
It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

So glad to hear that President Trump in a new, extended interview with Politico gave himself an “A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus” grade on the economy. That should settle any money worries you may have.
