NOW: Union workers are rallying against a DC bill that would increase the salary of the Mayor by $40,000. That’s about a 16% raise. @DCNewsNow

The D.C. Council is holding a hearing today on a bill from @AnitaBondsDC that would increase the next mayor's pay to to $290,000 a year, up from the $250,000 that @MayorBowser has been making since 2023. @Janeese4DC tells me she didn't ask for it and will vote against the bill.

Chris Pyrate, a Southeast DC native, was just announced as official artist & artistic director of the 100th Cherry Blossom Festival.
Here is the artwork, for which he said he drew inspiration from theme park maps and made sure to include landmarks from his childhood like the Big Chair.

Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of former DC Attorney General Irvin B. Nathan.
Irv was a principled and fierce defender of the District of Columbia and fought tirelessly for its residents.
He successfully lifted several federal consent decrees for the District, recovered more than $70 million from companies that failed to pay their taxes, and founded the Ruff Fellowship Program that gives new generations of lawyers the opportunity to start their legal careers at the Office of the Attorney General.
We are forever grateful for Irv’s legacy of leadership and public service.

In an unexpected scene, former D.C. attorney general Karl Racine just spoke at a protest held by tenants of buildings owned by his client, developer Buwa Binitie, who has been sued by the current attorney general over bad housing conditions. Litigation is ongoing.

Later this week D.C. could see something it hasn't in decades: a sitting elected official on trial. The federal bribery trial of Ward 8 Council member Trayon White is upon us, so @jennygathright and I look at the allegations, possible defenses, and more: washingtonsun.com/metro/tray…

Ward 5 Council member Zachary Parker bringing the receipts…
🚨 The Council is considering giving huge development rights to a contractor our government is actively suing. Residents are tired of business as usual and are demanding change. Join me in urging my colleagues to force Buwa Binitie to the table to remedy concerns at 1400 Florida Ave NE and other properties across the District that he's neglected with impunity for years.

NEW: We're suing a nonprofit founder who diverted $125,000+ in DC grants for personal use.
The defendant and her nonprofits took District funds meant to help people struggling with addiction, misused the funds, and lied about where the money went.
Then, they failed to repay it.

It’s official: MacArthur High School in Ward 3 is no more. It’s now John Thompson High School, after the famed Georgetown basketball coach and D.C. native. (And the mascot has similarly changed for the better: from the mammoth to the jaguar.)
It’s been brought to my attention that a @DCPoliceDept officer owns 3323 Carpenter St. SE in Penn Branch. That house is a neighborhood nuisance!!! What a shame!
