Turns out the idea small businesses would just absorb a 125% increase (so far) in payroll would turn out well was delusional Live and learn!

If you’re wondering why bars are closing or are close to it in DC here’s some reasons why. That DRAM shop law has had zero effect. It does not mandate that insurance companies have to lower our premiums. It just lowers a bar’s liability.



Reminder: fare evasion costs you Recall @councilofdc voted to encourage anti-social behavior @MayorBowser vetoed this stupidity Mendo & Jack Evans voted for common sense But @BrianneKNadeau @charlesallen @Janeese4DC @kenyanmcduffie @CMRobertWhiteDC approved of theft from you!

MORE: A fare-evader fell down an entire level at McPherson Square Metro yesterday & was seriously injured. He became stuck between the platform and rear wall after taking a leap over the fare gate and had to be extricated. He has since been stabilized at the hospital. #wmata

Incredible how political tribalism influences people’s perceptions of the same reality

The UMich Survey came in with stronger than consensus forecasts for both US consumer confidence and inflationary expectations, with a political twist: The sentiment index rose from 71.8 to 74, above the consensus forecast of 73.2 and the highest since April. The increase was…



The @BrianneKNadeau @ANC1A economic agenda of illegal street vendors, outdoor toilets for addicts, and the future NW quadrant drunk tank is truly doing wonders for the Ward 1 Columbia Heights retail businesses.

The @wmata crackdown on bus fare thieves can’t come soon enough 7 boardings on the bus this afternoon Only one paid - me! fox5dc.com/news/metro-use…

Just like trumpeting truancy “improving” when the standard to be counted is dropped from 80% to 60% of courses Will @DCSBOE @OSSEDC continue lowering standards to make the graduation rate look better? Hope our Ward 1 rep @BenWilliamsDC won’t support this 🗑️

Testimony #2: DC's Graduation Requirements to DCSBOE. I firmly oppose the idea that significantly changing our graduation requirements will solve systemic issues and there are several likely proposals that we will see coming from OSSE that will significantly make matters worse.



👀 activists on @councilofdc staff & @OANC_DC “elects” (who ran unopposed) W/ St Albans, Potomac HS, GWU, JHU, Middlebury & UChicago pedigrees Trying to claim “lifelong” Washingtonian bonafides trashing DC residents over their top issue (bike lanes) So cringey 🤦‍♀️


How is @BrianneKNadeau not embarrassed to be out in public in Ward 1? Guess that’s why her fundraisers with felons have to be held in Chevy Chase 10 years: Gun violence worse A toilet in our once welcoming plaza Supports putting the drunk tank for NW in a residential zone 🤡🙄

Is the data comparable to years prior to SY22-23 when students had to be present 80% of the day to be present vs. the dumbed down 60% standard @DCSBOE approved @laurenmlumpkin ? Answer: No DC gov't ❤️manipulating performance standards to make themselves look better...

Big news on student attendance improvements: "Data shows truancy in DC's public schools has returned to pre-pandemic levels, while chronic absenteeism is at its lowest since schools closed nearly five years ago." washingtonpost.com/education/2024… @DMEforDC @DCPSChancellor @MayorBowser



Maybe the silver lining is a lot of time will be wasted in 2025 confirming Cabinet-level appointments

D.C. police are investigating a brutal beating outside of a U Street stop, which was caught on camera and has gone viral on social media. fox5dc.com/news/brutal-be…



Democrats...often get angry when you only halfway agree with them...disagreement on any hot button issue (COVID, school closures, Biden's age) will have you cast out as a heretic So, that makes winning national elections hard?

Fascinating read from @NateSilver538 on psychological profiles between Rs and Ds and response to disagreement. It's consistent with public opinion data about speech and social media behavior
