I don’t want to be on here though it’s needed for local gov updates and work. Get involved 🗳️ Opinions are my own.

First time in years the DC Democratic Party had made the news, and it’s for warning a (very good!) council member not to become a Democrat

A few hundred runners, cyclists, nature lovers, rollerbladers and more rallied at East Potomac Park this morning in opposition of President Trump’s plan to close the park and potentially renovate it for use only as an 18-hole golf course.

Today the Attorney General filed a lawsuit, challenging, the proposed monumental arch at Memorial Circle. As a member of the National Capitol Planning Commission I submitted a declaration in support of the case.

What the fuck

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Trump: I did not marry my sister. I had two lovely; I have one left. Elizabeth. She's great. But I never proposed to them.

They’re beautiful, but I was never—I was never particularly attracted to either of them.

@DCAttorneyGen @DC_DOB @CMBrookePinto @Ward2MOCRS I hope @Janeese4DC cracks down on corporate landlords and uses harsher enforcement methods

[Peter Durkin @PeterDurkin194]

I don’t even own a car, but two months without a functioning garage door, with another 6–8 weeks until repairs, is absurd. What exactly are residents paying these outrageous “luxury” fees for? A refund should be the bare minimum. Embarrassing incompetence.

[Peter Durkin @PeterDurkin194]

Is there anything you can do about this? @DCAttorneyGen @DC_DOB @CMBrookePinto @Ward2MOCRS

[Peter Durkin @PeterDurkin194]

Can these newspaper bins be removed at 1550 7th st nw? They haven’t been used since the spring and people just put trash in them. @311DCgov

[Peter Durkin @PeterDurkin194]

@JHWeissmann It’s really awful. Definitely the worst it’s been in years

[Spiro Dimakas @spymak7]

Union Station has a power outage. No active signage for train notifications.

Pure chaos about to ensue this commute…

@Transportering9 @RiniSampath The advocate and change maker DC needs 👏

[Rini Sampath @RiniSampath]

I’m tired of people using “centrist Twitter” as an insult, especially in DC, where so many Washingtonians just want a city that works. Some of us are newer to local politics. We never claimed to have uncovered its corruption first, but we’re helping draw attention to what too many people have come to accept. Harry Thomas Jr. returned to party leadership after stealing money intended for youth programs. Jack Evans still gets invited to weigh in on DC’s future after paying ethics fines. I’ve gotten passionate about Dean Hunter in this thread because people keep pointing to his prominence as a landlord spokesman as though that answers questions about his credibility. That influence makes scrutiny more necessary. We should welcome more people asking questions, pushing back and encouraging investigative reporting that holds powerful people accountable. You don’t have to have followed DC politics for decades to want better for this city.

[Peter Durkin @PeterDurkin194]

@schultzohio @RiniSampath So excited for this!!
