The Supreme Court needs wholesale reform. Doubling the number of justices, establishing mandatory ethics rules, and creating term limits—perhaps by using senior status—is a moderate position.

Nope, we’re not. Downtown DC has had ongoing road closures since July 20 for this one event. And that will stretch until the first week of September. 7 weeks of this is enough.

One of the myths of car ownership is that users fully pay for infrastructure costs. It’s only partially true, and in DC, it is not particularly true. Especially with the gas tax on the decline, it’s time to consider other options to sustainably fund the costs of building and maintaining our roads.

Just canceled my DashPass and sent this email to DoorDash. I encourage you to do the same if you support D.C. home rule. press@doordash.com and ir@doordash.com
Hello,

I’m writing to let you know that I just canceled my DashPass because of DoorDash’s disgraceful campaign against D.C. home rule.

DoorDash is urging Congress to nullify a new D.C. law imposing a 20 percent tax on food-delivery services—not merely by overturning that law, but by prohibiting the District from enacting any new tax without prior congressional approval. That is an extraordinarily sweeping assault on D.C.’s right to govern itself and an odious insult to the District’s residents.

I am especially disgusted by DoorDash’s public claim that it is somehow defending D.C. residents while actively seeking to strip us of our right to govern ourselves through our own democratically elected lawmakers. Please do not pretend that disenfranchising District residents is an act undertaken on our behalf.

I intend to publicize DoorDash’s attack on home rule as widely as possible and urge everyone I know to boycott the company.

Shame on you.

Even with this ANS, this would mean DC would need active congressional approval for things like local real property tax abatements, tax incentives for development deals, etc. This is an expansive overreach by the so-called party of small government.

The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide when the nation goes to war. President Trump’s strikes on Iran are flatly unconstitutional. There’s been no deliberation, no vote, no clear justification. This is a flagrant abuse of executive power.

DC folks! There's an important school safety NOI out for Langdon Elementary. If you could take a minute to to express your strong support for converting the timed one-way to a permanent one-way (with a contraflow bike lane to narrow the road to boot), please do! tinyurl.com/langdon-oneway

All school traffic safety advocates on deck!
Help Make Langdon ES Safer!!

Deadline: March 16, 2026 CLICK TO LEAVE COMMENT

➡DDOT is proposing to convert the time-limited one-way on the 1800-1900 block of Evarts St NE into a permanent one-way

- To ensure this actually calms traffic, we must push DDOT to include a contraflow bike lane - a proven tool that meaningfully narrows the drive lane and reduces unsafe driver behavior.

• Langley ES received this same newly permanent one-way + contraflow treatment in 2022, pictured above.

• This school-street model helps manage pick-up/drop-off traffic more safely and should be a standard, low-friction solution across DC.

- Now is the moment for school communities across the city to stand with Langdon ES! The more unified our voice, the easier this becomes everywhere.

Comment at tinyurl.com/langdon-oneway by March 16th!!

Worth watching this in full. The statement is more powerful than this quote alone. Here is is from USA Today, with alt text. Also! Rich Ruohonen is a personal injury lawyer and the oldest athlete to ever represent the United States in a Winter Games at 54 years old.
"I'm proud to be here to represent Team USA, and to represent our country. But we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been for everybody. This stuff is happening right, right around where we live""I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution," Ruohonen continued, "and it allows us to (have) freedom of press, freedom of speech, protects us from unreasonable searches and seizures, and makes it that we have to have probable cause to be pulled over. And what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of grey. It's clear.""I really love what's been happening there now with people coming out, showing the love, the compassion, integrity and respect for others that they don't know, and helping them out," Ruohonen said. "And we love Minnesota for that.

"And I want to make it clear that we are out here, we love our country. We're playing for the U.S. We're playing for Team USA. And we're playing for each other, and we're playing for our family and our friends that sacrificed so much to be here today. And that doesn't change anything.

"Because what the Olympics means is excellence, respect, friendship, and we all, I think, exemplify that. And we are playing for the people of Minnesota and the people around the country who share those same values. That compassion, that love and that respect."
