This would also allow federal employees to run for offices higher than ANC
Again: I encourage all Councilmembers to introduce a bill that makes all District-level elected offices nonpartisan. Given this is a functionally one-party town the need for party labels is absurd. The DC Charter and the Home Rule Act do not require political parties.

DCDSC is trying to inject a moral valence into this, but there's not one. It's about power. Henderson wants the power to run for higher office. State committee wants the power to appoint a CM. That's it.

Someone needs to explain to me how a councilmember switching parties undermines home rule because I don't see it
Robert White is having his farewell press conference as he prepares to resign. On the rumors that Henderson would switch parties to essentially take his seat, he says “I don’t think she would do that,” arguing it’d undermine the Home Rule Act

Lisa Rucker, running against the terrible Commissioner Alan Kensek has a fundraising page. Please consider giving to her race and help replace Kensek with a decent person. goodchange.app/f/lisa-rucker…
4. In 1B05 Lisa Rucker is running against Commissioner Alan Kensek. Alan is known for horrible behavior and especially egregious treatment of women. He used his government email to publicly comment on Councilmember Nadeau’s weight. #ANCRacesToWatch

This is a forward slash
Brilliant use of airtime that’s more scarce every day.

I don't understand how this would trick Delta. You're changing an already booked flight. They know who you are. Why would it matter what device you change it from?
So, I managed to trick the new Delta algorithm. I wanted to change my flight. On my phone app, it was going to charge me over $200. So, I logged in on a wireless connection on my laptop and same class fare, same flight was $60. This dynamic pricing thing is nuts.

This sounds great but I spend a lot of my time working on medical ID theft fraud and the system is missing so much infrastructure necessary to make this work without just leaking your full history to any scammer that wants it
> Clinic asks for medical records > I reach out to previous clinic > Sign up for their medical portal so they can securely share files with me > Email the results to the new clinic Absolutely insane that we don't have a universal medical record system. I should be able to just give you my health card and you know everything you need to know about me. Instead I have to play middleman and share medical information in the most caveman unsecure ways.

Claims like this look compelling until you look at the dates they are providing (depths of the Great Recession until a housing peak), their lack of sources, etc. Instead, here's a rent growth chart from @UrbanTurf_DC which is NOT inflation adjusted (meaning rents are even lower)

In all seriousness this is the best movie about the Jones Act I've ever seen
Since everyone is Anne Hathaway-posting, I just really wanted to jump in to tell you she starred in a movie in 2023 where she's married to Peter Dinklage and he cheats on her with a tugboat captain (Marisa Tomei) then writes an opera about it. It did not do well on Rotten Tomatoes.

DC Health is wrong to say that this proves fertility control is working. Lower burrow counts are good, but this pilot design can't show that the product caused them. They've layered in several interventions meaning we won't know what is actually having an impact (1/6)
DC’s rat population is officially on birth control, and three months in, the city says it’s working! 🐀❌ Burrows are down significantly in Adams Morgan and Eastern Market, but health officials say keeping them gone is a shared responsibility. Next stop for the program? Chinatown. 🛑 #washingtondc #rats #birthcontrol

Josh’s ingenuity is revealing the gaps in DC government’s tech capacity - his pool and election tracker are way better than the official gov sites. And this stuff isn’t rocket science. DC Gov could create intuitive platforms too!
Wanted to remind folks about the crowd sourced pool and splash pad status resource I created! I've heard a lot of complaints from parents about a children's pool being closed or a splash pad not being turned on, and this not being reflect anywhere online. (1/4)

I’m a JLG voter and I punished Mayor Bowser for UNDER-developing the District. Bowser’s Comp Plan is pure TRASH!
Definitely, many Janeese voters I have met voted for her so they could punish Bowser for overdeveloping the city.

I wonder if one person at @DCDPR could spend 10 minutes a day to report official operating status with this tool

Make Josh DC's Director of Citizen Technology or something. Give him a team and let them work with city agencies to make our city user friendly and transparent
Exciting news! A neighbor created a 311 app for DC that actually submits requests to 311. It is only for iOS right now and in very early testing. We are ideally looking for people with some tech background. Link to follow and DM me your iCloud email if interested! (1/4)

We need more energy like this in District government
It's pool season! And a common problem I hear from parents is they take their young children to the pool, only to find out that the children's section is closed :(. I've asked DPR to update real time status, but they haven't had capacity, so I made my own! (1/3)
