@SnazzyLabs @nikitabier Lame. I’m not seeing it anymore in the latest version of the app on my iPhone 17 Pro Max.

[Michael @singletary]

Battery life on my iPhone 17 Pro Max has been abysmally bad since updating to iOS 26.5.1. Easily half of what I usually get with the same usage.

Anyone else seeing this? Nothing jumps out as high usage in Settings > Battery.

My top 5 are:

1) Safari: 1 hour 9 minutes on screen
2) YouTube: 1 hour on screen
3) X: 1 hour 15 minutes on screen
4) Oura: 5 minutes on screen
5) Messages: 19 minutes on screen

I’ve charged my phone twice today. Once at 34% and again at 55%. I normally go all day and have ~70% remaining.

Already restarted my phone, but still seeing the same drain without anything obvious using it up.

@ParkerOrtolani Ring is the right form factor, because they can sell one to Apple Watch owners too.

You get down to the specifics of the Kennedy Street situation and George did a lot of talk about social services that didn’t accomplish anything, and then eventually an inter-agency task force arrested the violent drug crew responsible and they solved the problem.

@kevsaucebro @wmataGM Knee-jerk racism is certainly a choice

Space is hard. Keep pushing, @blueorigin.

Blue Origin's New Glenn just blew up at LC-36 while attempting to Static Fire ahead of NG-4.

She’s running on the “Hopes and Dreams” ticket and unfortunately her supporters are not interested in accountability otherwise they’d never be able to support someone with such unrealistic campaign promises. All politicians lie, but they usually do it better.

Who is going to build all of this housing in the environment she is going to create? Doesn’t make any sense.

Janeese is a massive flip flopper that got as far as she did by saying things people want to hear, not doing things people want done. If the flavor of the month were “no more housing” she’d be spewing that from the soapbox tomorrow. Guaranteed.

[Sam Peak 🇺🇸💡 @SpeakSamuel]

This is why I'm not ranking Janeese. I don't think you can be a YIMBY while also endorsing every pet issue from tenant rights activists, unions, and environmental groups. Nothing will get built.

This just ends up being NIMBYism with a paint job. https://t.co/P45QUrGNVR

@DCYDs These are the people to leave off the rankings?

[Michael @singletary]

@ShawnChittle I’m usually the only one that pays when I ride the D44, even when the bus is full and lots of people cycling off/on at each stop. Can easily go from Fort Totten to downtown and not see a single fare paid.

[Michael @singletary]

@7NewsDC Wait isn’t this the same guy that mentored @Janeese4DC @CMLewisGeorgeW4?

[Michael @singletary]

The great mentor of @Janeese4DC looks like he’s in even more trouble now.

[7News DC @7NewsDC]

Federal attorneys in the bribery case of D.C. Councilmember Trayon White claimed the Ward 8 representative took two trips to the Dominican Republic that were paid for by a campaign contributor.

@DCFanFirst @Janeese4DC Janeese is so incapable of handling Trump that she might be the last Mayor of DC if we elect her.

[Michael @singletary]

@wmata Love the DC crime discount

Janeese Lewis George wants to “leverage” money that's supposed to be off limits for risky investments, the Editorial Board writes. https://t.co/vxfhzV26Kc

[Michael @singletary]

“Janeese surveys the state of her campaign, days away from the primary.”

“Campaign Rat Spills the Trash - Admits Janeese’s Internal Poll Numbers Were Pulled from the Same Pile She’s Campaigning In”

“Not Photoshopped: D.C. Councilmember Campaigns Directly From the Bottom of the Barrel”

“After Defunding the Police, Janeese Puts Newly Unfed and Unhoused Rats on the Beat to Protect the Streets”

“Lewis George Campaign Using New Slogan that Tested Well in Internal Polling: ‘If they don’t feed, they don’t breed.’ but it falls flat among District residents already struggling with the high cost of food in the city.”

I can’t believe they posted this picture. And which poor staffer did she make turn over a couple of trash cans for this shot?

[Janeese Lewis George @Janeese4DC]

“As mayor, I will rat-proof our trashcans. If they don’t feed, they don’t breed!”
