Get this: The D.C. govt is required by law to deliver HARD COPIES of legislation BY HAND to the U.S. Capitol for review. But because of the new fencing around the Capitol, D.C. officials can't get in. That means these laws are basically stuck in legal limbo.

Teachers and staff are on line tonight to get the vaccine at Dunbar. The line — as of 30 minutes ago— was huge, hundreds of people snaking down the block. Lots of tables set up inside though to vaccinate people
