Which is just to say, writes @michaelschaffer: It’s going to be a wild month, both before the June 16 election and afterwards, when the ranked-choice tabulations start.

[City Cast DC @CityCast_DC]

NEW: An exclusive City Cast poll shows @Janeese4DC holding a slim lead over @kenyanmcduffie. But one in four voters is still undecided, and Lewis George’s 39-to-35 lead may not hold up once second choice votes are factored in under D.C.’s new ranked-choice voting system.

[Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle]

"The bottom line: The younger, better educated, and newer you are to D.C., the more likely you are to support Lewis George," writes @michaelschaffer.

It's a devastating day for DC because of these @washingtonpost cuts. Nothing replaces the Bezos-shaped hole at WaPo, but I'm proud to be at a place looking to expand our coverage. City Cast is hiring new reporters — please get in touch! annie dot rees [at] citycast dot fm

[City Cast DC @CityCast_DC]

DC needs and DESERVES strong local media. If you're one of the local reporters laid off by @washingtonpost and @JeffBezos, then please get in touch! Our DMs are open or you can reach out at dc [at] citycast dot fm. City Cast DC is expanding and looking to hire editorial staff.

@AlexKomaDC When is the second vote?

[Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle]

BIG NEWS: D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is imposing "extraordinary measures" to close the $1 billion budget gap created by Congress. Those include freezes on spending, hiring, promotions, overtime, and some contracts. She's also planning for possible furloughs and facility closures.

Please take the time to read the report above and I highly recommend 15 minutes on @StevenOverly @politico podcast this morning. Super informative legal analysis on Musk’s work to influence the outcome likely breaking laws with the safety net of a pardon. https://t.co/yROAkloyv9

VP Kamala Harris loved Tim Walz’s governing record in MN. His bio & record of winning tough races resonated with her. Most of all, she just really liked him.

The first brush at timeline this weekend.

[Eugene Daniels @EugeneDaniels2]
