F to the YI: mostly moved my social media presence to BlueSky. Same handle there. #bikeDC
Mayor Bowser is such an embarrassment. For the handful of positive things she did for the District her record overflows with the ways she turned her back on its citizens and ceded the high ground to a feckless tyrant.

Incumbent presidents are supposed to partially reimburse the federal government when using Air Force One and other govt facilities for clearly political purposes. Is anyone keeping count of President Trump’s reimbursements?

Work hard in silence. Let success be your noise. 🏆
Myopic decision by leaders in my home state.
While the DABC is now no longer 100 percent teetotal, the executive branch of the state still very much is.
I wonder if @GovCox even knows how to ride a bicycle...
The new downtown SLC state liquor store doesn’t allow bikes inside, has a useless wheelbender rack in the back, and no bike racks by the front door. Seems like they are encouraging people to drive cars to buy alcohol. Good job. @GovCox @MikeLMower

Walter Koenig made Star Trek history w/his voice cameo in the 2023 series finale of "Picard."
He didn't appear as Pavel Chekov; but rather President Anton Chekov, leader of the United Federation of Planets; the son of his original character.
The name was a tribute to Anton Yelchin, who'd died in 2016 and had played Chekov in the JJ Abrams films.
This made Walter the last of the original cast to appear in a Star Trek series.

VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park
The plan was to turn a public park into a private tournament course for Trump & wealthy golfers. The trees stay while we fight it out in court
@DDFund_ & partners are on the case 👇- TN

Sign of the times: Someone chalked “National Guard Stay Away” outside an early voting center in Columbia Heights. There have been local and national concerns around federal agents (or the National Guard in D.C.) appearing at or near polling places ahead of next week’s elections.

BREAKING: Judge Reyes has issued a preliminary injunction over the golf course and begins with this:
"Rarely, if ever, has the United States Department of Justice urged a federal court not to believe the sitting President."

A common sign of advancing dementia and/or untreated STIs is paranoia about being challenged, a constant fear of being seen or discovered as a phony.
It's no wonder Trump wants to silence the growing majority of those who wish to protest his presidency.

OBAMA: He pulled out of the JCPOA, starts this war—Seven months later, six months after they declared victory, how's that war going?
Our allies and our bases have been attacked. Americans have been killed. Hundreds of Americans have been wounded. We have run down our stock of missiles. And Iran now has veto power over the strait of hormuz, where oil goes through to the world market.
This is the reason why the price of oil is up. Nobody disputes that. This is the reason the price of diesel is up. This is the reason why the price of just about everything is up.
Meanwhile, you got the defense secretary who's squarely focused on important matters: the jawlines and testosterone levels of our troops.
These are not serious people. And the problem is you end up having to pay the price for their lack of seriousness.

Whether president of a college or president of the United States, a man who doesn't care about rape should not be in office.

We’ll be at the Marine Corps Marathon this Sunday, mile 11.75, right as runners enter East Potomac Park.
40,000 runners passing straight through the park we’re fighting to save. Come join us, ~8am to noon. Signs provided.
Come for all or part of it! It's worth fighting for.

Good to see petrol prices finally coming down.
I hope they all answered, "that's none of your damn business!" and then cited the federal law that says as much.
The State Department has asked some foreign service officials up for promotion who they voted for in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, raising concerns the agency is violating a federal law that bars politicized personnel decisions within the nonpartisan ranks.
