@MayorBowser @DCDPR Could the spray parks be open now? Monday is too late in the season for weekday openings.

[Grace Cunningham Cannon @gracecunning]

@dcdmv The ParkDC website is down, and the app is not working. Hopefully visitors won't be receiving parking tickets until this issue is fixed!

@wbuxtonofficial I love Checo, but I think we all would be excited to see a Verstappen v. Ricciardo head to head in 24. #F1

[Protect Their Future (Formerly @ImmunizeUnder5s) @PTF_org]

Thanks @WhipClyburn for advocating for #Covid vaccines & helping #ImmunizeUnder5s! The best vaccine is the one you get 1st! @moderna_tx submits next wk. Other political leaders MUST ask @US_FDA to put #ProtectionOverPolitics review data ASAP & stop endangering lives of under 5s!

@DCDPR I got all the way to checkout and then got an error. :((

[Grace Cunningham Cannon @gracecunning]

Yes! I was looking forward to maybe finally being able to feel safe again bringing my UNDER-2 yr old to a grocery store to buy groceries in person. But since she can’t mask or be vaccinated yet, we still need the rest of the city to do so to keep us and everyone else safe.

[Brianne K. Nadeau @BrianneKNadeau]

As a CM, and a parent of 2 kids under 5, I am flabbergasted and angry. Why would we give up on vaccines when we have come this far? Why are we not protecting the workers in these industries? Why are we telling parents we don't care if they participate in society? I'm so F-ing mad

“Ghost bikes” have commemorated the lives of cyclists killed by drivers for more than a decade. But unlike other ghost bikes, this one has training wheels. https://t.co/vmaEfxTscB

Not a lie.

What dealing with DC Health this morning feels like

[Elisabeth Jacobs @jacobselisabeth]

@MayorBowser @_DCHealth Delays are forgivable. But the failure to update your site code to match the eligibility criteria is not. The site appears to be rejecting eligible residents, because it's not using the updated eligibility criteria. This is inexcusable.

[Chad Reese @ChadMReese]

There's a real chance that DC Health made a huge error in telling everyone that certain chronic conditions were eligible for vaccine appointments starting today, but didn't update their website questionnaire to actually allow folks in that category to schedule appointments.

[The Brookland Bridge @BrooklandBridge]

Ward 5 residents in priority zip codes with qualifying conditions listed below are getting messages that they don’t qualify for the Covid vaccine after completing the survey successfully (which had to be attempted multiple times). @_DCHealth @CM_McDuffie @MayorBowser

[Grace Cunningham Cannon @gracecunning]

Yep. Same situation here. So frustrating and such a waste of time.

[Grace Cunningham Cannon @gracecunning]

Except I'm seeing this message which does NOT let someone with a qualifying medical condition proceed to scheduling an appointment

[Muriel Bowser @MurielBowser]

At 9 am, vaccination appointments open for DC residents who:
— Are 65+; OR
— Have a qualifying medical condition (18+); OR 
— Are a member of an eligible workforce
Must live in zip codes: 20001, 20002, 20011, 20017, 20018, 20019, 20020, 20032, 20422, 20593 https://t.co/jG6kCnbtUw

[Grace Cunningham Cannon @gracecunning]

@DCGovWeb You announce that people with pre-existing health conditions can now register for the vaccine, but don't update your appointment system to let them register? WTF?

“The only way to reverse minority rule is through big structural reforms like abolishing Electoral College, eliminating filibuster, ending partisan gerrymandering, enshrining right to vote in Constitution & giving statehood to Washington DC & Puerto Rico” https://t.co/CJol4P47Np

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

This just underscores how undemocratic US Senate is:

-split 50-50 but Dems represent 41 million more people

-15 states with 38 million people elect 30 GOP senators

-California with 40 million people elects 2 Dems https://t.co/CJol4P47Np

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

Shocking stat: 57 senators who voted to convict Trump represent 76.7 MILLION more Americans than 43 senators who voted to acquit
