@DouglasLFarrar I still have a landline. It’s just for the democrats and my mom. Otherwise my cellphone would be blowing up like this 🙃

@eat_dc @navyyardbid Who are the owners/chefs?

[Pherabe Kolb @504grl]

This new restaurant that opens next week in Navy Yard looks intriguing. But I’m from New Orleans and want to know if it’s legit or I should skip it. Can’t find any info on owners or chef. @jsidman can you help? https://t.co/JbraBnCUlN

@OKnox So DC taxpayers and billionaire Josh Harris are dropping more than $3B on a new Commanders stadium but Bezos can’t cough up a few million so the local paper can cover the team? Are the Cowboys behind this?

@AmericanAir I see that you no longer allow AA Advantage members to earn miles on basic economy fares as of today. As a loyal frequent flier that is really frustrating. But the trip I completed on Dec 14 should have been eligible. Why weren’t my miles credited to my account?

@eat_dc Is this address for the planned Hill East location accurate? Or is it maybe on Pennsylvania SE?

@Saints @tylershough2 Please school this man @BreauxMart we want to like him!

@BenMank77 What about The Firm?

[Pherabe Kolb @504grl]

@jsidman Great list! FYI the address for Press Club is wrong, it’s on 19th not 9th. Can you fix? Thx!

@ggwash I love that WMATA does this. I left my full time job in April and could see how my travel habits changed radically from a very standard morning-evening commute on Metro to taking more midday trips by bus and rail all over the city. Almost 1,000 miles on public transit, amazing!

@dylanmatt You cannot be serious! We must discuss this. I’m Dartmouth ‘94 and it took me years to stop saying “I’ll blitz you” after I graduated. Amazing!

[Pherabe Kolb @504grl]

@DEADLINE You spelled her name wrong. It’s “Jodie”…Please fix

[Pherabe Kolb @504grl]

@tcm Thank you TCM! You are the only reason I still pay for cable and it’s worth every dollar. The films you share enrich my life and your on-air hosts always teach me something. You are a treasure!

I demand to know if we are taking sufficient care of our man Randy Clarke.

- Does he get free coffee?
- Do people give him high fives everyday?
- Are we giving him shout outs in every metro meeting?

Reading @jonathanalter's book on Jimmy Carter fundamentally changed my view of his presidency. I can’t recommend it enough, especially in this moment.

With one term, Carter altered several aspects of the office that still shape the way it operates today. For one, he elevated his VP in a way that hadn't happened before, consulting Mondale on all major issues and giving him an office inside the West Wing. Carter had been surprised to learn that past VPs had been kept out of the loop before on issues as critical as nuclear arms control.

He disclosed his tax returns, setting a precedent that all others (with the exception of Trump) followed after him.

Carter also proposed and signed into law the Inspector General Act, which brought in first formal office of inspectors general for twelve agencies. It created protections for whistleblowers that still has ramifications today.
