1st ride on long awaited new Acela cars - my take: smoother ride, wider aisles, stable tray tables that don’t dump your food and drinks in your lap, modern restrooms. Same polite staff. Thanks Amtrak!! Now America let’s modernize the rail bed and let them run at speed!

I appreciate this clear, strong statement from members of Maryland’s executive, legislative, and judicial branches against federal overreach.

What’s your favorite DC hack? For example, getting off the Metro at Cleveland Park to walk to the National Zoo vs getting off at Woodley Park.
