Dear @wmata @wmataGM : quick ask, could we get the shuttle from DCA to go directly to L’Enfant? It’s a major transfer point for passengers heading into the city & imagine it would be a time saver. The shuttle at 8:30am took almost 20 minutes to go from DCA to Pentagon City…

Huge thanks and shout out to @MayorBowser, @DCDPW and @councilofdc for the 24/7 automated car inspection kiosk. 👏I wish we could apply this for all other aspects of gov! It was quick, clear, and I got a print out (though that part we could also email?) at Fort Stanton RC. 🙏

Washington's homicide rate is the 11th highest among large US cities, but eight of the 10 with higher rates are in red states — Mississippi, Alabama, Missouri, Tennessee, Ohio and Louisiana. Trump has not sent National Guard to any of them. @RussContreras axios.com/2025/08/15/homicid…

Some blue cities in red states have the nation's highest homicide rates, FBI number show

Mississippi, Alabama and Missouri have cities with high homicide rates

Replying to @DCDPR
@DCDPR @MayorBowser @BrianneKNadeau possible to share status on Banneker Pool (Ward 1)? My understanding is that there have been challenges with the recreation manager the last few weekends. We have about 25 patrons waiting. Thank you!

.@CAGovernor Newsom and the Legislature have finalized the state budget. They’ve demonstrated their commitment to @UofCalifornia by promising not to cut higher ed. That’s a major shift from the 8% cut proposed earlier this year. But, as always in Sacramento, it’s complicated. 🧵
