@davidalim For us, it has always been one word -- healthcare -- and so it shall remain! Good to see AP coming around at last.

@wmata Crosswalk striping at Twinbrook looks great now! Thanks, @wmata and @wmatagm!

[Joyce Frieden @joycefr]

Hi @wmata and @wmataGM , thank you so much for all the great work you did at the Twinbrook Metro; the parking lot looks great! Just one thing: the crosswalk striping is already crumbling! Can that be fixed?

@BeschlossDC I was living in Kent; my dad was a professor there and I was in elementary school. We were shocked and horrified by what had happened. The National Guard camped out on my playground, and the governor blamed "outside Communist agitators," which wasn't true.

@MauricioNBC4 @nbcwashington No worries -- it happens to all of us! Just thought you'd want to know in case the topic comes up again.

@nbcwashington Please let @MauricioNBC4 know that the drug is pronounced mi-feh-PRIS-tone, not mi-FEH-pristone. https://t.co/H3i7c4MvvM

David Byrne created a rare moment at the Santa Barbara Bowl Tuesday April 14 when he pointed to the sky as a flaming Falcon 9 Rocket launch burst from the darkness from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The crowd turned and cheered for both. (Video: Richard Weston Smith)

A Georgia Senate candidate’s Passover ad in this week’s Atlanta Jewish Times features challah. It’s the thought that counts, I guess. #gapol

@peggy_blair My mistake -- I was talking about a different Senate! You are correct; my apologies (and it's a good lesson for me in not being so U.S. -focused)

@keetmuise @keetmuise, I couldn't agree more! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! #Thanksgiving #Thanksgiving2025 #MasksGivingDay

@MontgomeryCoMD Don't a lot of those parking garages contain metered spaces? Does the free parking apply to them, or not?

[Joyce Frieden @joycefr]

@RideOnMCT Also, why do all the dates say "Oct" under them when this is November?

[Joyce Frieden @joycefr]

@RideOnMCT Don't you mean Veterans Day, not Labor Day?

So what could have been a great ending to their trip was just a frustrating experience (and a loss of whatever money they had put on their cards). I hope telling you about this will prevent it from happening to others. /end

@wmata and @wmatagm, I do appreciate the hard work WMATA does to keep the trains going. But I thought you should know about this disappointing experience some of my relatives had on Monday. A 🧵:

"The station manager kept turning his head when I tried to talk to him," my relative said. "Finally I yelled, 'Why won't you help us?' and he said he was on the phone." They gave up, left, and called a rideshare.
