With 3 days to go until the 5pm, Aug. 5 filing deadline, there are a total of *58 ANC single-member districts* where no one has filed to run yet, as of July 31! This means that 16.8% of the District’s 345 SMDs don’t have any candidate running yet… dcboe.org/getContentAsset/55…

I joined @freedcproject_ this morning to demand the Senate reject SR 102 — a resolution overturning DC’s local tax law (in the middle of filing season!), including a hard-fought child tax credit for working families. It will also blow a near billion dollar hole in DC’s budget — putting at risk critical investments in schools, housing, public safety, and more.
If you have a Senator that votes, now is the time to call them.

We shoveled multiple times yesterday, and it was quite lively not having to shovel or hack away at ice on our sidewalk today.

Why are we buying bread and milk?
Get wine. And chocolate cake. Maybe some Oreos. Do this winter storm right.

Eastern Market is older than:
- the telephone
- the other state of Washington
- indoor hockey games
- the QWERTY keyboard
- Heinz tomato ketchup
- cash registers
Happy 152nd Birthday, @EasternMarketDC!

Is there anyone in DC that can tell me where to get a decent hoagie bun? I was trying to hunt some down for tonight’s dinner but came up empty… so this is for next time!

It’s a moral moment for DC. Washingtonians are being taken off the streets & charged with crimes that even grand juries won’t indict, residents are scared to leave home & workers scared to go to their jobs. All while they drag our city through the mud. This is wrong. Call it out.
