Four years after lambasting the Biden administration, GOP lawmakers are urging voters to be patient as gas prices climb over $4.50 per gallon.

Step 1. Ban DC from spending local funds, forcing the city to cut $300 million and scale back trash collection

Step 2. Activate the National Guard at $1 million a day to collect trash

Step 3. ???

Scoop: Trump's closure of USAID will cost taxpayers more than $6 billion, including hundreds of millions to fight legal challenges, according to a draft assessment obtained by me and @jackfitzdc

[Jack Fitzpatrick ☘️ @jackfitzdc]

The Trump administration is paying $13.3 million over the next four years to rent three houses near Mar-a-Lago.

In one case, they're paying five times the rate it cost to rent the same house during Trump's first term.

The upcoming budget “vote-a-rama” will give Democrats the chance to force votes on dozens of amendments and hammer Republicans for favoring the wealthy in the budget framework for GOP tax and spending plans.

It just hit me: there are *TWO* reporters left at @wamu885, a station that covers a metropolitan area of 6 million people. That’s one-tenth the size the newsroom was two years ago, and the smallest it has been in two decades.

[bridget 🌸🐝 @wholemilkbitch]

it’s trite to say that 1d shaped the course of my life, but it did! best friends, roommates, friends i’ve loved from afar for 12+ years. there are so many truths to hold at once today, but that one is unalienable. and grief for something already long gone but essential to me.

Feet first: Studies show that urban customers tend to arrive by foot more than car, but shopkeepers systematically overestimate car use. As the Columbia Road bus priority project kicks off, one analyst conducted a local survey: https://t.co/XnIyMIuL7j

We need to raise about $12,000 more TODAY if we’re going to make our goal of raising $200,000 by the end of week 2. If you’ve been thinking of donating but haven’t, NOW is the time! https://t.co/Qy6DUN5nmz

🧵 When DCist was shut down, we watched as so many of you mourned the loss of a vital local news source. A team of us got to thinking: What if we could create an outlet controlled by us (the journalists) and you (our community)? No executives involved.

[K Tully-McManus @ktullymcmanus]

Three (3️⃣) reporters!!! For the public radio station serving the nation’s capital & region!!

[Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle]

You know what’s funny (or sad) about this? Back when WAMU and DCist were firing on all cylinders, on any given day you’d get a quirky or funny only-in-D.C. type of tale, a deep dive into local government, arts and culture, good photography, and more.

[Rachel Kurzius @Curious_Kurz]

When WAMU laid off 16 people and closed DCist, the reasoning given was “content strategy word salad," per one staffer.

@abeaujon cuts through the jargon and nonsense with a deeply reported, excellent look at what actually happened: https://t.co/qBUjFUR4tQ

The star-crossed marriage of Washington's NPR member station and a feisty digital news publication came to an abrupt end in February.

Staffers are still unclear about what the station's management wants now. https://t.co/AKLjUQIJNT

NEW: Federal officials missed thousands of payments, including electric bills and travel reimbursements, because of a new Commerce Dept. financial system rolled out at NOAA. Power outages and a union grievance followed.
