The President is calling for the destruction of another society. This is an evil and heinous threat to commit an obvious war crime. He is sick and should be removed from office immediately. All elected officials and cabinet members should act now.

Color me skeptical at that estimate. For years, Maryland and Montgomery ago argued about the costs for the Capital Crescent Trail as part of the Purple Line. This is a once is a century opportunity — DO IT.

It’s not just the District that Congress will be hurting if they pass this CR & DC budget cut. It’s the entire DMV region, it’s every worker who make transit run, it’s every visitor from around America coming to visit DC and can’t get around. $200M cut to Metro: www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

My heart breaks for 67 people killed in yesterday’s plane cranes. Statistically, 78 people were also killed in traffic crashes today, yesterday, the day before that and likely tomorrow and every day going forward unless something changes.

My thoughts are with Darrick Ward’s family and friends. I was interviewed by Darrick numerous times over the years. He was a dedicated, kind, fair, and professional journalist. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/d...

Required reading for Thanksgiving Day in America. A gutting personal narrative of the daily trauma, harassment, cruelty, and lack of humanity of a person experiencing homelessness. “a society speeding along as it disintegrates”

This my semi-annual resounding endorsement for the Nat’l Museum of Play in Rochester, NY. It’s the best children’s museum with days of things to explore. There are three arcades, a Wegmans grocery store, Sesame Street and much more. It’s worth the trip to Upstate NY on its own.

When did passing stopped cars on the left over the double yellow line to make a right turn on red become the newest dangerous move? And can we stop it now? I’ve seen it twice today.

Where are these DC residents three years later? I don't see them working to "take back our sidewalks" for pedestrians now that they passed a dumb scooter law.

NPS is accepting comments on the Mount Vernon Trail and GW Parkway EA. I hope people will ask NPS to plan for a trail connection from the MVT to the Roosevelt Bridge. DDOT is building a widened path on the downstream side of the bridge that needs a VA connection. cc: @juddlumberjack.bsky.social

Why isn't there a MARC train station at Shady Grove? Compared to nearby Washington Grove, there seems to be MUCH more opportunities for TOD and another MARC/WMATA transfer station.

Upgraded to a new iPhone after 4 years, but ran into a snag. I’m on AT&T for my primary plan and a cheap Mint prepaid plan for work. But, didn’t realize my carrier locked phone wouldn’t take an extra eSIM. So, hope no one calls my work number until I figure something out.

“A vehicle could fail the pedestrian crash-worthiness test and still receive 5 stars,” he said. A voluntary evaluation isn’t enough for Jessica Hart, whose 5-year-old daughter Allie was struck and killed in 2021. Her petition on Change.org has collected more than 28,000 signatures.

New cars are supposed to be getting safer. So why are fatalities on the rise?
Government test data shows new passenger vehicles in the U.S. are extremely safe, but roadway deaths are steadily rising.
