Last year, Wisconsin Democrats used Elon Musk's over involvement in a state Supreme Court race to motivate voters. Musk's name is all over this year's FEC filings, but Democrats have moved on to other villains. Why? ⬇️ washingtonsun.com/campaigns/…

For the third time this week, a car chase involving U.S. Park Police in D.C. ended in a collision late Thursday. Policies for Park Police car chases were loosened last year under an executive order from President Donald Trump. washingtonsun.com/metro/us-p…

I asked @MayorBowser about Trump's plans for East Potomac Park, and getting rid of the three-mile road around the island: "East Potomac Park needs a road. It could have a road and a golf course, just like it does now. So East Potomac Park needs to be redeveloped with a road."

D.C. residents can't duck the question any longer: Should foie gras be banned in the city? I talked to voters, influencers, restaurant owners, and @MayorBowser about Initiative 86, a ballot fight over banning a very niche French food: washingtonsun.com/metro/dc/f…

As a reporter it's easy to always be cynical, but yesterday I got to witness a heartwarming event: the announcement of D.C.'s teacher of the year. My colleague @shamira_akilah talked to Ramon Griffin from Thurgood Marshall Academy in Ward 8: washingtonsun.com/metro/dc-t…

Update: a source tells me that HMP has now also cut its ads in NC-11. Both parties signaling they think the district is going to flip next week. (Both parties can also be wrong, as had happened a few times in the recent past)
NEW: Republicans are increasingly worried that NC-11 - a district Trump won by nearly 10 - is already lost. Said a NC GOP operative: "The rating in the 11th District should be likely Democrat, not lean Democrat.” Sign of how deep the Dem wave could go washingtonsun.com/campaigns/…
