A tidbit: A bill from @charlesallen that would legalize passenger service in Waymo and other self-driving cars will get a first public hearing in the D.C. Council on July 13. That would put a first council vote in the fall, since there’s a two-month summer recess.

Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. https://t.co/2zX5bHdhsa

“Settlements totaling more than $1.5 million have been reached so far with people who lost their jobs over social media posts that were critical of prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk …”

Hundreds of public and private employees were fired for social media posts following Charlie Kirk's death. Now, some of them are getting big payouts. https://t.co/FJgHeQGlyn

We don't need a massive military presence to keep cities safe. We need the right officers, in the right places, doing the right things. We’ve seen it work right here in Washington, D.C.

Trump media coverage after the election, which focused on his EV total rather than 1.5% pop. vote margin, created the appearance of a sweeping mandate that never existed.

[Jamesetta Williams 💕 @jamesetta_w]

My unpopular opinion is that there was never a major vibe shift towards Trump after his narrow 2024 win. Trump 2.0 never held consistent approval over 50% and was already polling net negative before his first 100 days. Any vibe shift was exaggerated by the media who think of him as hilarious and invincible.

Ever wondered what your grandpa did during World War II? For those with German heritage, it is an incredibly difficult question. Now, DER SPIEGEL has developed a search engine to guide you through millions of NSDAP membership cards, enabling families to finally answer that question. Check it out here: https://t.co/rHB7BCbVAY

It's worth reminding everyone that the federal monuments and fountains that President Trump is cleaning up are... federal monuments and fountains that local D.C. officials have no control over! In fact, D.C. officials have long complained of federal sites falling into disrepair.
