This Sunday (Fathers Day!) at 1p — cheer on the @dcfireems.bsky.social as they reenact the Last Run of the Horses, using a cosmetically preserved 1905 American LaFrance horse-drawn steam fire engine. All are welcome (re)live DC History!! www.hillrag.com/2025/06/09/c...
A poster for the last run’s hundred anniversary event June 15, 2025 at 1 PM. Reenactment begins at 635 North Carolina Ave. SE. and ends in Lincoln Park. On the poster is a sketch depiction of the last run, with the US capital in the background and an old-fashioned fire engine cart being pulled by three white horses as the driver holds desperately onto the reins

Update: The House Rules Committee did not adopt a @eleanornorton.bsky.social amendment to exempt DC's budget from a funding bill that freezes federal agencies at FY2024 levels. DC is already operating in its FY2025 budget. The bill is expected to go to the House Tues. www.hillrag.com/2025/03/10/f...
