Multiple sources tell me that Gov. Spanberger, Del. Krizek, and Sen. Aird met and had a productive meeting and are close to figuring out how to establish a retail marijuana market in Virginia. Unclear if this means in the budget, or for the next legislative session.

New look at Freedom 250’s Great American State Fair set up on the National Mall where all 56 states & territories will have exhibits

[Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle]

It looks like the newly renovated Freedom Plaza is getting even more new statues. The one on horseback was planned, but there are now a dozen more statues lining the northern and southern edges of the plaza.

Bradley Blvd Update: Repairs to the 20-inch diameter water main are complete, and water service has been restored.

Crews are now shifting their focus to road repairs. Work will begin on the eastbound side of Bradley Blvd which is expected to reopen later today. Once that side is complete, crews will move to the westbound side.

Thank you for your patience.

NEWS: In the first public poll of the D.C. mayoral race, @CityCast_DC finds that @Janeese4DC has a five-point lead over @kenyanmcduffie, just outside the margin of error. But: Ranked-choice voting could help McDuffie more; he's ahead on getting voters' second rankings.

MPD says the fight at the Navy Yard Chipotle seen on social media did start after 8 p.m., when a teen curfew zone could have been in place. (They aren’t being used right now because the law authorizing them lapsed; a new version will take effect later this summer.)

The reflecting pool is less than a third the width of this widely-shared AI image (which also has the Lincoln Memorial backwards). The Lincoln Memorial is actually wider than the reflecting pool, not the other way around. There are no steps or entrances on the west side.

The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.

I'm back!

There's been a lot of discourse about D.C. youth, so for my first story @CityCast_DC I decided to talk TO the teens, not just ABOUT them.

I spoke with 10 teens about youth curfew, whether there's enough for them to do, etc. Read here:
