This happening in Dupont Circle is the perfect encapsulation of how DC is the opposite of Trumpism. It is not a place to be fenced off or guarded by troops. It is community and optimism and love and a hope against hope that the city we call home is also a proper home for the nation’s capital.

No, DoorDash, you cannot “support the District’s right to self-govern” while telling Congress to gut the District’s right to self-govern. Those positions *are* mutually exclusive. Your lobbyists are absolutely blowing this.

Brightline under-reported truth in 3…2…1… The company has not had trouble attracting riders. March was its highest ridership month ever. It’s because it’s saddled with capital debit from building the operation. Debt that is normally assumed by the government for public passenger rail.

The problem is this post-Moses trend in treating the "community" as if it's monolithic and knows more about transportation planning than the experts. We as a society can say "more transit good, road expansion bad" and ask locals to weigh in on where staircases go, not "should this even happen?"

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.
