“The redevelopment of the RFK site must be about the future, not the past. We need to reduce car congestion and increase transit… Just look at how well it works at the 42,000-seat Nationals Park, which has 1,250 parking spaces” with a Metro station one block away.

Opinion: Here's how to improve the RFK deal
The newest deal is better than before, but further discussion is still necessary.

President Trump just fired almost the entire staff of the CFPB, who protect you from getting scammed by Wall Street.
This is another assault on consumers and our democracy by Trump's lawless Administration.
We will fight back with everything we've got.

Mourning 18F’s elimination as a former employee but even more so as a former 18F agency customer. Unlike DOGE, 18F did the hard work of cultural transformation and sharing their methods with other Feds as they helped improve services. They weren’t just techies, they were teachers.
18F, a digital services unit inside the General Services Administration, has been completely laid off, according to an email I’ve seen. The email says that 18F was deemed “non-critical” and the decision was made with the “explicit” direction of the administration and GSA leadership.

The biggest lie in the DOGE EO is that the team is working on IT modernization: they say that all the time, and yet all of their work has been on cancelling contracts, firing staff and stealing data for some unknown purposes.
Second biggest: agencies work with USDS Director (position still empty)

Don’t let them pull the wool over your eyes and call the CFPB “woke and weaponized.”
The CFPB fights overdraft and junk fees, goes after lenders that target servicemembers with predatory loans, and has returned $20 billion to Americans.
This is a giveaway to scammers & crooks.

I was a juror for one of the Jan 6 violent assault cases. It was sad to see him on trial when those who influenced his behavior will never be held accountable. But he should not be pardoned. Good on the Post for putting visual receipts against each man’s story
And everyone whose lives were upended or ruined by Trump's lies is eagerly awaiting their pardons: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
The fate of nearly 1,600 Jan. 6 defendants depends on Donald Trump
President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to pardon many defendants accused or convicted of crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
