MARC has weekday commuter rail service going from DC deep into the Appalachians for exurbanite supercommuters but does not run those trains on the weekends when Washingtonians could use them for camping or cycling or whatever.
@giana_jade@BaltimoreBanner Got it, thanks for the response! As a Banner subscriber living in Baltimore and a DC sports fan, I am crossing my fingers for this effort. Covering DCU also feels like a natural fit since they are trying to put a minor league team in Baltimore.
TOMORROW: The House is set to vote on a bill that would make it easier for mining companies to recklessly pollute and destroy our public lands. Write to your representatives TODAY and urge them to vote no on the Mining Regulatory Clarity Act! https://t.co/eHKPjHumeh
Inbox: State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta (D., Philadelphia) is walking from Philadelphia to Harrisburg over the weekend to protest the lack of a transit funding deal.
Philly cutting service, Metro has 40+yr old signal system, other cities hitting death spiral fiscal cliff too. We live in the richest country in the history of the world, yet other countries are funding & building more 🚇🚌. Let’s make 🇺🇸 the best in the world, it’s a choice!
@phriendlyphotog@MetroDreamin Does the east side of the “red line” here just follow MD-144 until the #8 Streetcar Path and then the #9 Trolley Trail? Do you imagine it as an elevated train on MD-144 or what?
"Herman was the ninth cyclist to die in Baltimore since the city unveiled a bike lane plan in 2015.
He was the third cyclist to die on a road where a separated bike lane had been recommended, but never built, according to an analysis by @baltimoresun."
A 58 year old man biking in the 900 block of Ensor St was killed by the driver of a car this evening. If you have any information on this crash, please contact BPD and Bikemore.
Ensor St is a six lane arterial, and was supposed to have a separated bike lane installed by 2021.
Republicans' Big Ugly Bill will gut clean energy, jack up energy costs, & kill good jobs -- all to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires.
Our team & partners were on the Hill to support @HouseDemocrats leading the charge to defend our communities & oppose this bill. #VoteNo
Humbled to stand alongside immigrant advocacy organizations and members of Congress like @repdeliaramirez earlier today who are saying HELL NO to the Republican budget bill and its hateful, anti-immigrant agenda.

I’ve warned about the nativist mind virus for many years. They’d destroy the economy, bankrupt the government, shred the Constitution, trample our freedoms, and imprison their own people to get what they want: not just mass deportation, but something more like ethnic cleansing
