Voters were clear that this was what they wanted. It’s a good program that expands democracy and the Board of Elections has told us they are ready to implement. It’s time to move forward.
Fresh off grilling elections officials at a hearing yesterday, Wendell Felder introduces a bill meant to delay the implementation of ranked-choice voting.
A similar push failed during the budget talks. And, FWIW, BOE said Monday it was on track to have RCV ready by June...

If the Bezos Post is taking preemptive swipes at her then Janeese Lewis George must be DC’s best choice to succeed Bowser.
"The mayor has often prioritized the interests of her hometown over short-term political advantage," the Editorial Board writes.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

PSA: if you see something like this your very first course of action should be reporting them to guest services and security, not taking pictures and posting on social media for engagement.
This is against stadium policy and merits a lifetime ban.
If people actually report it to the team.

The most unsafe I’ve ever felt cycling in DC was this morning, when there were fucking humvees parked on the grass around the CaBi docks and national guard milling about.
I’ve walked and biked DC by myself and it was great and the “we’re manly men!” who are terrified to set foot on the pavement are just peddling racism and violence grifting

I think we need to do it again, only this time not gradually. An immediate elimination of the tipped minimum wage in 2027 would just about align with the original timeline of I-82. The gradual wage increases let restaurant owners scream to the council about it too much, we gotta rip off the band aid
NEWS: The D.C. Council voted 7-5 to partially repeal Initiative 82, the voter-approved measure which phases out the tipped minimum wage in D.C. Here are the details of the repeal proposal, sponsored by @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social and @cmchenderson.bsky.social. The details: bsky.app/profile/maus...
I-82 NEWS: Ahead of tomorrow's final D.C. Council vote on '26 budget, @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social and @chenderson.bsky.social will introduce an amendment splitting the difference between those who want to repeal Initiative 82 (which phases out the tipped wage) and those who want to keep it.

Israel is massacring Palestinians every single day. This isn’t war, this isn’t occupation, this is ethnic cleansing, it’s artificial famine of a trapped civilian population. It’s genocide.

Israeli fire mows down starving Palestinians in Gaza as hunger deaths surge
UN says starvation in Gaza is man-made as families in the besieged territory endure ‘catastrophic hunger’.

Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.
And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.
Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

punting on 2nd and 3 at the opponent’s 20 is something we will never ever see in football, because if a coach was trying to throw a game there are many more subtle ways of doing so. this is probably the closest thing to that we’re likely to see
