Let’s talk about heat waves.

As a heat wave broils the Pacific Northwest, scientists are saying it’s safe to assume that carbon emissions are making heat waves more severe and more likely. In other words, climate change is making extreme heat worse. https://t.co/VSWYP10ssb

This was a really good read: "These records remain easily accessible to the public and tenant screening companies, even when the filing does not lead to an eviction or is resolved in a tenants’ favor."

Joel Caston won an unprecedented election in D.C. yesterday. He's the city's first ANC seat holder in a district that represents residents at the D.C. Jail. https://t.co/ILwR3wpGP3

If you haven’t picked up the latest issue of @streetsensedc, correct that immediately. @howisthatlegal is on the cover, and profiles DC’s first drug treatment program for women.

@ecwilliams30 @DCist @wamu885 Many congratulations Elliot!!

Get this: The D.C. govt is required by law to deliver HARD COPIES of legislation BY HAND to the U.S. Capitol for review. But because of the new fencing around the Capitol, D.C. officials can't get in. That means these laws are basically stuck in legal limbo.

I cannot wait to listen!

Of all the stories we tell out of D.C., Relisha Rudd's is one every Washingtonian should know.

In @wamu885's new podcast Through The Cracks, @jonquilynhill explores Relisha's life and investigates if her disappearance was preventable. New eps Thursdays. https://t.co/aKqECqNQb2
