@wmata Again today I had to run for a block to catch a bus leaving 2 minutes early. This is the first stop of the 72 in Mount Pleasant. Why do the drivers leave early??? Thanks

[Ellen Schweiger @ellenschweiger]

@wmata I live near the first stop of the D72 in Mount Pleasant. The 8:15am bus left this morning at 8:10. I was a block away and missed it. Im now late for work. Why does a bus at the first stop of a route leave 5 minutes early? Or are your posted schedules wrong?

@NFTC_News @LauraHayesDC Still completely blocked off

[Ellen Schweiger @ellenschweiger]

@wmata Thanks but I had to run to 16th Street and take the D6x to try to get to work on time

@wmata good morning. When are you going to create a walking path through the blocks of ice at the metro bus stops? Examples: B72 stops in Mount Pleasant and at 17th and K?

I will never forget this day- On the Channel 9 assignment desk. Our crew got to the airport less than an hour before the doomed plane took off. They took video of the icy wings. Then watched the plane take off and crash into the bridge... https://t.co/hm52dxwlQd

Vladimir Kara-Murza, a US permanent resident rescued from imprisonment in Russia, displayed incredible eloquence despite the circumstances. He had been jailed by Putin since April 2022.

Gilda Radner would have turned 78 years old today.

I often think of the sketch.

The night she died, Steve Martin tossed his monologue and with a heavy heart paid tribute to her with their classic: Dancing in the Dark.
