Emmett Till was born right here in Chicago on July 25, 1941. And it is with deep humility and great pride that I signed legislation this week at Roberts Temple to declare his birthday as the Illinois Day of Reflection and Remembrance of Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley.

Office of the Inspector General, District of Columbia @oigdc.bsky.social · 19/05/2026
Today marks Inspector General Daniel W. Lucas’s final day in office. OIG extends its sincere appreciation for his leadership and service over two terms. Hear his reflections on The Search for Accountability: federalnewsnetwork.com/podcast/sear...
A framed official portrait of a person in a dark suit, white shirt, and blue striped tie with a lapel pin, with U.S. and D.C. flags in the background. A faint OIG seal sits behind the photo. Top text: “INSPECTOR GENERAL” (followed by the individual’s name). Bottom text: “THANK YOU FOR SERVING THE DISTRICT SINCE 2014.”

Interesting: It looks like D.C. Inspector General Daniel Lucas is retiring after 12 years in the position. His second six-year term is up on May 19. He was nominated by then-mayor Vincent Gray; @mayorbowser.dc.gov will get to nominate his successor, with D.C. Council confirmation.

I haven't seen this shouted out yet, but the Spirit's new primary kit actually reminds me a fair bit of the Kehinde Wiley portrait of Barack Obama at the National Portrait Gallery (albeit with a lighter green than Obama's backdrop.)

Behind him is a wall of green plants blooming, with little pink, yellow and purple flowers occasionally popping out.Washington Spirit's new primary kit, with a pointillist bunch of greens with the occasional white and pink cherry blossom flowers thrown in (and of course a large pink CVS Health sponsorship.)
