I've spent maybe 10 percent of my DC rec time at Hains Point over the past 50 years--biking, golfing, driving range, tennis, minigolf, picnic, kid playground. It's enraging what they are doing to it dc.citycast.fm/opinion/the-s…

DC's job market downturn has been a drag on any meaningful economic progress. Our unemployment rate has hovered above the national average since Sept. 2020. Federal government employment has fallen 14.6% compared with January 2025.

NEW: Two reports taking the temperature of DC's economy came out today (@Gallup/@communityfndn, @dcchamber/@dcpolicycenter). Big picture takeaway: DC is still reeling from DOGE & we have a long way to go for a meaningful rebound. 🧵 of interesting figures: dc.citycast.fm/business-deve…
