Why is DC, which has zero margin for error in the current political climate, spending public money on a disgraced former councilmember who resigned amidst corruption allegations?

Political messaging is finally catching up with reality

If you know Adams Morgan, you know rats. That's because there's a lot of food in the garbage

But I've got good news: DC's new food waste bins are out. And Adams Morgan has two! At Marie Reed and outside Harris Teeter

Washington, DC. Where both this parking job and license plate are, for some reason, permissible

Looks like there are bus delays on dozens of routes across all of DC. Hard to imagine this will improve with the inauguration approaching, so plan accordingly

Let's take this misdirection of congress a step further. I want to see completely mundane bills renamed with hyperbolic titles

"Notification of a Proposed Revenue Bond Issuance"? Sorry you're now the "Woke Diversity and Immigrant Radicalization Act"

Did a car write this? Or is it simply the result of decades of fossil fuel and auto manufacturing executives lobbying to design cities for their own profit?

Call me idealistic, but it would be nice if more people tried to resolve conflict with community-based solutions as a *first* option rather than automatically turning to judges and attorneys

This week, I am thankful for the testimonials Street Sense Media publishes. Such powerful prose from neighbors whose voices too often get ignored

Six straight months of record-breaking bikeshare riding. And a 35% increase over last year

Hard to deny that people like biking around town when it's safe and affordable

DC won't certify its results from the 2024 election for a couple weeks, but that isn't stopping this candidate from starting the 2026 mayoral campaign season

Glad to see DC—like most cities in the US—is seeing less violent crime

It's worth pointing out that this drop in crime has occurred without any increase in MPD officers

Worth noting that the author of this op-ed telling DC residents "we have to be proactive and engage with the Republican leadership" is a registered Republican
