700,000 DC residents pay full federal taxes and have no voting representation in Congress. We went out and asked them how that feels. If you are a DC resident, make your voice heard by posting on Tax Day.

a criminal conviction isn’t required to say someone does not have the moral character to run for office and i don’t understand why this needs to be said over and over and over again.
Yes. We are at the point where respondents may have to brief fundamental due process challenges on the grounds of a rigged system.
/it will be a very, very hard challenge to win, but we’re reaching the point where it might become winnable.
It's going to be a tight race, but when the blood finally dries and history renders its verdict, this one may prove to have been the most catastrophic appointment of all.
While you wait for the astronauts to be recovered please call your Congressman and suggest that we keep doing things we're good at and not try to destroy every accomplishment the US has ever made. Fund NASA, and the US Forest Service research, and the NSF, and everything that made us great.

Hey @metrobardc.bsky.social…
Any member of the House can force a vote on impeachment, but Jeffries as minority leader has the extra perk that he can force it immediately rather than within two days.
Great, but all the event listings seem to be for 2025 dates. Is it gonna be updated for 2026 dates and events?
Seems kinda bullshit that the president can shut down one of the most important transportation hubs in the country for a fundraiser
Amazing! What portions of the basin are closed? Looks from these like a lot is open, but I read some areas are under construction?
This whole ‘there are cherry blossoms’ in neighborhoods and not just the tidal basin always cracks me up. YES! The awesome Casey Trees even has a map!

That is a very inconvenient sidewalk to be blocked right at peak cherry blossom bloom. 🤦🏻♀️
Absolutely despicable move by Mayor Bowser, once again showing how little regard she has for DC residents.
@councilofdc.bsky.social should override the veto ASAP.
After three years of financial limbo caused by DC’s affordable housing funding crisis, Dance Loft on 14’s exciting mixed-use development in Ward 4 finally has a path forward.
But it needs ANC 4E’s support.
It all comes down to a vote tomorrow, March 24.

UPDATE: @waba.org says that the federal government has agreed not to start removing the 15th Street bike lane until at least March 30, in anticipation of a lawsuit that’s being filed to stop it.
Obama will always be the better man.
It’s a nice spring day, but hardly peak cherry blossom crowds down by the National Mall and Tidal Basin. But the 15th Street protected lane that the Trump administration will start tearing out next week was still busy with people on bikes and scooters; locals and tourists alike.
Since the 15th Street Protected Bike Lane was installed:
• Crashes ⬇️ 46%
• Bike injuries ⬇️ 91%
Removing the PBL between Constitution Ave and the Tidal Basin would increase conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles at one of the busiest times of year.
You've probably heard—removal of the a section of the 15th St Protected bike lane is scheduled to start monday.
See how we're fighting back and how you can help: waba.org/2026/03/20/1...
TL;DR:
✅ Lawyers
✅ Petition
✅ Rally with us on Monday.
Sharing this video guide I made of the 15th Street Cycletrack from 4 years ago because I’m angry that the Trump administration is trying to remove it and destroy a safe, relatively new, & popular biking connection between downtown DC & northern Virginia.

Letterhead from Councilmember Janeese Lewis George Jennifer Takouhi Nersesian Regional Director National Capital Area National Park Service 1100 Ohio Drive, SW Washington, DC 20242 March 20, 2026 Dear Director Nersesian, I am deeply concerned by reports that the National Park Service plans to start removing the protected bike lane that runs along 15th Street NW between Constitution Avenue south to the Tidal Basin - and especially dismayed at the decision to do so during the height of the cherry blossom season and tourism to our beautiful city. The removal of the protected bike lane will disrupt traffic and add to congestion in this high-traffic area. An evaluation by the District Department of Transportatior ("DDOT") found that the 2021 installation of the lane has made the corridor more efficient for motorists, resulting in decreased vehicle traveling times during peak hours in both the northbound and southbound directions. The 15" Street protected bike lane also led to increased safety for both vehicles and cyclists, leading to a 69% reduction in bicycle crashes, a 46% reduction in roadway crashes, and a 25% reduction in podestrian crashes. Protected bike lane is a common-sense strategy to ensure safety and efficiency along this highly trafficked corridor. But it's not just District residents who will be negatively impacted if this bike lane is removed - it is heavily utilized by tourists from all 50 states. Small businesses that provide rentals and tours have reported that thousands of visitors utilize the lane cach week and would be less safe as they navigate the road alongside 2 or 3-ton vehicles. The data speaks for itself. Removing protected bike lanes doesn't alleviate congestion - it will cause more of it as accidents increase. I urge you to reconsider the decision to remove the bike lane along this vital corridor. In service, Janeese Lewis George Councilmember, Ward 4
Below is my letter to the NPS National Capital Area Regional Director:
"Impeachment is designed to bridle the President if he engages in excesses. The Framers confided in Congress the power to remove the President to strike a balance between a President swollen with power and grown tyrannical, and the preservation of the independence of the Executive," Barbara Jordan
So many safety car pit stops in a sprint! But will there be enough laps left for any racing? #F1
They trash our budget. They fail to maintain our area parks. And they stick their ill-informed noses where they don’t belong. As a DC resident, I am so sick of federal overreach in our local affairs. This is so stupid. Imagine if feds had to approve school designs in the Midwest? #DCStatehoodNow
