Last week I presented to ODCA colleagues on using an LLM to research legislative sources faster. After answering a prompt, the LLM offered to write “ODCA-style” audit criteria. I said yes. Then LLM offered to write up a whole audit finding. I said yes. I had provided no facts, mind you.

Washington, DC area is considered one of the best places to work in the country. Indeed ranked DC the second-best city in 2026, based on career opportunities, pay, job quality, & more. 👏💼 We're proud to keep the region connected to the jobs & opportunities that make it such a great place to work.

Please let's not forget that DC United is in the middle of a 50% sales tax abatement incentive and only have to pay 25% of its real estate tax obligation. The first five years of land occupancy was 100% abatement of both, and the abatements phase out. Which is obvi why they want more DC money now.

Can confirm. Also remember the two Guard that were shot, and the one that was killed were from West Virginia too. Nothing new under the sun to tell the mountain folk there is important work to do, exploit them, put them in danger and send them home.

"I know there were a lot of people that showed up from West Virginia specifically that were just like, I want to help, and then later they found out that they were taking out trash and setting up (logistical equipment). I think they later fell off mission as soon as they could get off," he said.

DoorDash says HR 9720 would provide for “the kind of aﬃrmative, time-limited congressional review already used for other categories of D.C. legislation.” This is false! The bill would create a brand-new category in which a do-nothing Congress will block any tax cut or tax hike or other change.
