Hey @heinrich.senate.gov if you’re troubled about the administration stripping back protections for Chaco Canyon, maybe you shouldn’t have voted to confirm the person leading those efforts? www.senate.gov/legislative/...

U.S. Senate: U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 119th Congress - 1st Sessionwww.senate.govSenate Energy Dems

Sen. Heinrich: This administration is stripping Chaco protections away in an effort to facilitate oil and gas drilling.

If you don’t live in, or haven’t recently visited, DC, you are unprepared for just exactly how much stuff has been wrecked or turned into garish junk by this guy.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)

While you were over here trying to figure out how you were going to cover the rent and food—this guy was over there using $5.1 million in taxpayer money YOU paid into the system to cover these statues in 23 karat gold. Yeah, he did that.

Ah yes, Florida. A state famously facing so few problems and issues that their electeds can focus on arcane matters of school curriculums in a jurisdiction a thousand miles away whose residents didn’t and couldn’t vote for her.

NEWS: Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Florida) has a new bill to require the U.S. flag be displayed in all D.C. school classrooms and mandate the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the day, though students could opt out. "We should be teaching kids why America is worth loving," she says.

I encourage you to stop whatever you’re doing and spend five minutes listening to Sinead O’Connor sing one of the most beautifully heartbreaking pieces of music that’s ever been recorded.

I dunno, but I’m not especially heartened by the recent polls. Why did we have to experience living through everything he specifically said he was going to do in order to know it sucks? Also, what an indictment of the media and the job they failed to do in reporting on what his admin was planning.

Heads up: if you are in the Manor Park/Brightwood area of DC, and you had a bag recently stolen that had your car keys attached to it, DM me.

Love to support DC’s ability to govern autonomously by advocating for a bill that impedes DC’s ability to govern autonomously.

Martin Austermuhle

In a letter to the D.C. Council, Door Dash says its recent advocacy for a House GOP bill that restricts D.C.'s ability to determine taxes and fees reflected its opposition to a new 20-cent delivery tax in D.C., "not D.C.'s broader ability to... govern autonomously."

It’s a pet peeve of mine when I encounter a pop-up window asking me to do something I have no intention of doing, like signing up for a newsletter, and the only options are “Yes” or “I’ll Do It Later.” No, I won’t. And a pox on the digital marketing consultant who told you to phrase it that way.

Heh heh

Our current media environment is so great, because I’ll read a headline like “Trump Administration Mandates Chlamydia Infections For All,” which is immediately followed by an op ed piece, “Here’s Why Community Grocery Stores Are Toxic for Democrats.”

Like the National Guard and the Reflecting Pool and a million other things, Trump’s destructiveness is so needlessly, infuriatingly stupid.

A look inside the ruin Trump has made of the Kennedy Center. Blood boiling. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/27/u...

They want to make your commute worse.

Congress appropriated billions of dollars for new transit projects. Why is the Trump administration spending none of it? Why are even transit projects in red states going unfounded? New reporting in @nytimes.com (gift link): www.nytimes.com/2026/07/27/u...

Why we can’t have nice things…

David Ramos

The Post looks more closely at why DC restaurants are pulling their streateries—a slow and unclear multi-agency permit process, and cost, esp. for traffic barriers and design professionals. wapo.st/44QjKwV

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but even if the National Guard was being routinely dispatched to higher crime areas of the District, their presence here would still be an unacceptable abomination.
