It’s great to see fireworks and military planes doing their thing on occasion. But hearing them flying overhead at random times and feeling the stress of the noise and vibrations, it’s more like psychological warfare.

Keep digging and speaking out, Matt Frumin. Thank you.
NEW: Washington, DC is spending taxpayer money producing talk shows for local celebrities covering crews, cameras, studio space and staff but cannot provide @7NewsDC with records showing exactly how much is being spent.
A 7News I-Team investigation found D.C.’s Office of Cable Television, Film, Music, and Entertainment, which operated last year on a roughly $15 million budget, lacks detailed accounting records for productions including shows hosted by D.C. legend Donnie Simpson and veteran journalist Carol Joynt.
Neither Simpson nor Joynt is accused of wrongdoing but D.C. Councilmember Matthew Frumin says he’s been pressing OCTFME officials to explain how much taxpayer money is being spent and what return the public is getting on that investment.
Listen to DC Councilmember Frumin about the on-going issue tax payers might be hearing about for the very first time.

It’s imperative that the FY27 budget include increased special education funding.
Students with the most complex learning needs and who require full-time specialized instruction must have access to the resources they need to thrive

Oh hey, the news is out!
The Star launches in June with dramatically expanded coverage of Washington politics and policy — and new coverage of D.C. itself. The District isn’t just the place where politics happens. It’s home to the people who pull the levers of power. It’s where they live and work and commute and eat and vote and navigate the unique intersection of politics and real life.
The Star will cover all of it, from Donald Trump’s stamp on the District to the ambitions of its first new mayor in more than a decade. Who’s wielding power in D.C.? What’s driving them? What impact are they having on housing, schools, transportation and the District’s neighborhoods? What’s next for Home Rule? For statehood? And will the Nationals ever be good again?
We’ll do it with the same rigor we bring to our coverage of national politics and policy, and we’ll do it with the best local reporting team in D.C. We’re excited to announce the start of that team today — veteran journalists you know and trust, plus newcomers who will bring fresh eyes to the vibrant and sometimes vexing place we all call home.

Please 🙏 let @maustermuhle continue covering local DC wherever he lands. Happy to see @51stnews growing and adding new voices.
We have some news to share: Reporter @maustermuhle will be leaving The 51st in mid-May.
"I’m still more excited than ever about what The 51st is," he writes: “I may be stepping away, but others will be stepping in — and that’s a good thing."

Wanna catch up on the big D.C. races ahead of the June 16 primary? The D.C. Office of Campaign Finance is holding debates for At-Large Council candidates, attorney general candidates, and mayoral candidates. The debates next week are required for anyone taking public financing.

For all those asking: DC will refund $8.9 million directly to DC fans who had to pay Ticketmaster's hidden fees and endure deceptive ticket sales tactics for years. OAG will announce a claims process in the coming months.
NEW: @LiveNation will pay $9.9 million to DC for charging predatory hidden fees and will be required to display all fees up front in the ticket cost.
This case is separate from our anti-monopoly lawsuit against Live Nation.
We are fighting for fairness for fans on every front.

Baltimore reduced its homicide rate by implementing the Group Violence Reduction Strategy (GVRS). This approach combines focused policing on, and services for, the small, high-risk group of individuals driving gun violence, rather than broad, indiscriminate policing.
