Glad to have Rory Hu of #NickNews in the briefing room! She asked what actions the administration is considering in response to the harm social media poses to children’s mental health. Great job, Rory! Hope to welcome you back as a fully-fledged @whca member in the future.

CERTIFIED OPEN: Trying Marianne's @dcck coffee bar in the @dcpl MLK Library at 9th/G St NW in @DowntownDCBID. Delicious and *very* good prices (only a bit over 1/2 the $ of DC chain coffee pricing)! Sandwiches, wraps, and salads available. (h/t: @nigro4dc)
