I like Social Security, DC (especially SW), walking, transit, watermelon, carbs, and libraries. Jeopardy season 26 alum. Caretaker of the world's top cat.
Much to the dismay of D.C. bird lovers, the Trump administration’s planned redevelopment of East Potomac Golf Links would effectively take away the No. 1 bird-watching spot in and around the nation’s capital.

Parked in the neighborhood literally every single day @311DCgov@DCDPW Out of state and over $7,000 in tickets.
Drivers and cars like this will lead to a pedestrian or other car being hit, with deadly consequences

@JHWeissmann What if the landlord doesn't own a building but rents their basement unit or a single unit in a condo building? Does the law apply to them? Can/must they register?
An email saying your Social Security Statement is ready? Don’t fall for it.
I got one this week. The link doesn't lead to a statement—it goes to a bogus SSA website designed to download software that could give scammers remote access to your computer.
Here's more:

Look what is in a towaway zone between a library and a playground. I reported it, but no hope it will get fixed. It's hard for drivers and short people (like kids! Or me!) to see each other around a pickup truck...which is why parking there isn't allowed! @charlesallen@LAppiah
I will take off work if @lappiah, @DC_OCA , @charlesallen, or any other DC government employee with the ability to call a tow truck will spend a day walking around with me (or we could do a weekend!). I bet we could find cars with unpaid tickets totalling over $100k.
@kevinamezaga There is certainly more to be done on traffic safety but I would note that MPD has conducted traffic safety compliance checkpoints at least 2x per week since 2023.
There are at least three tow eligible vehicles on the single block of Delaware Ave SW north of I street (more between the circle and Randall rec). @LAppiah and @charlesallen and @MayorBowser may say they care about traffic safety but this would not happen if they actually did.
@LAppiah@kevinamezaga The car that rear-ended me last weekend had over $6000 in unpaid tickets, hasn't been registered since 2024, and has no insurance. A functioning government would not have allowed it on the road. We are all paying for your failure.
@LAppiah@kevinamezaga Tell us about night and weekend booting and towing. And is there a 311 report type for tow-eligible vehicles? Do dpw ticketers check to see if a car is tow eligible? Is blue plains full and what have you done to get more tow lots?
@LAppiah@kevinamezaga Of the handful of STEER act cases, has DC actually collected any money? Does any car have a speed governor? Don't gaslight people and suggest you, the Mayor, or the council really care about people driving safely.
@LAppiah@kevinamezaga Have you gotten an agreement with MD and VA to get the titles of impounded vehicles so they can be auctioned faster? Is there ticket reciprocity across the DMV? Do you ask about unpaid tickets on DC employee ethics forms or when deciding who can drive a DC owned vehicle?
@LAppiah@kevinamezaga You are proud of yourself that a car got over 800 tickets before you impounded it? And that is from April and not a checkpoint. My question was, if mpd is doing two traffic checkpoints a week, why isn't dpw at all of them?
@LAppiah@kevinamezaga Why hasn't the mayor gotten dpw to work with mpd and tow cars from these checkpoints when they have thousands of dollars in unpaid tickets? DC is not serious at all about enforcing speeding, red light, and other safety rules.
@JHWeissmann It also puts @DOEE_DC in charge of inspection, when @_DCHealth would make a lot more sense. Sloppy drafting but after the combined open primary/ranked choice voting thing I am not surprised.
@AshleySchapitl Something weird about this bill is it puts @DOEE_DC in charge of inspection when @_DCHealth does most other kinds of food and restaurant inspections.
