To anyone who wants more, linking the full filing here. Even if you skip the legal parts, it's a genuinely great read on the history and uniqueness of this place, the 1919 opening, the 1941 desegregation fight, the Walter Travis design, etc. Worth your time. democracydefendersfund.org/w…

I’ve written a lot of things over 20 years for a lot of fancy places, won a lot of fancy writing awards. This is the most important thing I’ve ever written & it got no traction because of where we published. I would sincerely appreciate if you fixed that courtwatch.news/p/the-church…

C'mon guys. @dcdmv has removed the ACH/e-check payment option. So if you want to avoid the otherwise mandatory credit card surcharge you have to go to the DMV in person. Such nonsense. Oh, and the Georgetown branch is still closed from a water main break in February.

I just want a city government that works. God knows we pay enough for it. I believe @RiniSampath would have focused on that. I hope @janeese4DC will.

When you handwrite a 0 or O, do you do it counterclockwise or clockwise? I'm CCW. Just saw a video of someone writing their 0s CW and it looks so wrong

Hey DC friends, I highly recommend subscribing to "Alisa's Daily Dose," a morning email from former Post writer Alisa Tang. Each day has a delightful short blurb about something of local interest, as well as links to DC-related news stories and a pic. alisadailydose.com/subscribe

Deeply reported and deeply felt pieces like this are why I support Seamus and subscribe to Courtwatch. It's worth your time to read it.

When I was in high school, I ended up on a flight with Dolly Parton. I nervously walked up to the front of the plane and asked for her autograph. I didn't have any paper with me, so I had borrowed a pen and scrounged in the seatback pocket for the only paper I could find...

The barf bag. She laughed and signed, "I hope this bag isn't a reflection on either of us, Love Dolly." Rest in peace, Ms. Parton.

Gotta say this Reacher is better (so far) than the last one. Less cringe, more true to the character (Don't get me wrong, still a beach read of a television series, but entertaining at least)

Plan to add inscription to Kennedy Center crediting President Trump for repairs stirs furor. Solution: also credit Obama with repairs to Washington Monument after 2011 earthquake. Updated signs could say "In Honor of GW, RESTORED by Barack O. " Will that do?

It's good to be a regular. If you don't understand this, it's your loss

Sure, it's a billion degrees with oppressive humidity. But August in DC is great because you can get into fantastic restaurants like Pasqual and enjoy wonderful food and exemplary service with no problems

Big admission of a big mistake by Team Trump In court filing tonight, Justice Dept admits they have information about Reflecting Pool: "showing that the damage was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism as initially represented by Dept of Interior"

Picked a hell of a day to fly American Airlines. 😐 And if I don't get out of Toronto tonight, all flights tomorrow to my destination are full.

Are DC taxpayers covering the cost of the national guard with local taxes?? About half the tweets I read seem to imply that to be the case, but that would surprise me. @washingtonsun @maustermuhle
