Guess which lane is more efficient and has higher capacity. Now guess which lane the federal gov't plans to remove
Thank god to WABA for delaying this braindead plan during the cherry blossom bloom. Statehood for DC.

Pam Bondi's portrait was taken down at DOJ and tossed in a trash bin soon after her firing. MS NOW obtained the photo. The move reflects how deeply unpopular she was among career officials

Can we start referring to Arlington and Alexandria as “The Lost Wards?”
It’s just cooler sounding.

Cars in a Union Market parking on the sidewalk
Thankfully there was still some room for me to walk by, but the one car especially rendered it inaccessible for anyone using a wheelchair. And it should have been obvious given that they were parked so much far further forward than any of the other cars parked here.

What’s up with the ads for guardianship in the metro?
DC courts are advertising guardianship on the metro as “a serious step, not the first step.” Why would they need to advertise this?? Does this bring in revenue for the courts? Is it simply for awareness?

I'm proposing! And I need your help!
Hello D.C Redditors!!
I am coming to your wonderful city this weekend to propose to my longtime girlfriend on Saturday at the tidal basin surrounded by the cherry blossoms.
Now, you might be saying "why the hell should I care?" and normally I would totally be on your side, but, I need your help!
I am looking for someone to pose as a bystander to "take our picture" but actually record a quick video of the proposal.
If you are going to be in the national mall/tidal basin area this Saturday around 2-4 pm this would be perfect for you! I am willing to compensate you for your time and effort.
If this sounds like something you would want to do or be interested in please shoot me a DM on reddit and we can exchange info and connect!
I know it's a long shot but 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Interesting project - A "live counter [that] estimates preventable deaths by interpolating DC's cumulative traffic fatalities since January 1, 2023 (when the DDOT [Autonomous Vehicle] safety study was already overdue) and applying Waymo's peer-reviewed safety reduction factor."

What's the deal with Free DC
So I was going down some rabbit hole on the DC BOE website and learned that Free DC is apparently running a slate of candidates for all the internal roles of the DC Democratic party. There are a bunch of these - a Committeewoman and Committeeman for each ward, at large ones, and a couple sent to the national committee - that I guess I have voted on before but I think were always uncontested.
I have a generally positive impression of Free DC, but only a vague idea of what they actually do. I thought it was mostly organizing and protesting against the federal occupation. I'm not really sure how running for these bureaucratic positions in the local Dem party aligns with that, or what it's supposed to achieve, and I'm wondering if anyone here knows.
I basically have two competing hypotheses:
The local Dem party is captured by Bowser's cronies, Bowser is very bad on fighting the feds, and there's a real need to get these people out
Free DC started with a genuine cause of fighting for DC independence but quickly succumbed to NGOitis, and it's now a generic leftie organization mostly interested in fighting with centrist Dems
Or I could be completely off here. Does anybody have the scoop on this?
