It’s a joke. Trump has realised that he actually couldn’t if he wanted to. So, they’ve taken the EV subsidies away….Tesla continues as they’ve taken them away from the competition too. SpaceX…without them the US have no meaningful access to space…also Starshield…the US need…

July 20, 1969. “Contact light, engine stop.” The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon. A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close-by. An achievement resulting from years of…
Tried my first Fix-It Clinic at the Library today! Brought in a flickering lamp and got hands-on help from a volunteer coach. Huge thanks to DC DOEE & the Library for creating space to learn, repair & build community — for free! 💡♻️
Are you ready for the Commanders’ trafficpocalypse? via @ggwash ggwash.org/view/100135/ar… NO! Build metro and dsign a shuttle service. No Huge parking garages.
8,000 spots in towering parking garages? That’s a fumble. A brand-new Metro station? Touchdown! Hear all about it from CM @charlesallen: (1/3)
Developer promised DC large grocer for McMillan Can it downsize? Washington Post. @McMillanPark Is most inept developer give-away in DC. >12,000 petitioners warned of these outcomes. Refused by @MayorBowser. Obfuscation/Misrepresentation washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/…
🚨 HUMILIATING: This video of Trump saying he's surprised Biden put in Powell as Fed Chair while a video of Trump nominating Powell HIMSELF plays below is going viral. Share this video of Trump's mental decline because the media won't. They're too busy giving wall-to-wall…
The development @McMillanPark was always empty promises that favored for-profit development over community needs. @councilofdc @CM_McDuffie @MayorBowser all complicit. Never was an LC for grocery store and never a plan for truely integrated low-income housing. @dc4reality

COMING SOON: Ranked Choice Voting, as demanded by voters in I-83! @CMCHenderson and I introduced a budget amendment this a.m. which passed 8-4. Let’s give voters more agency and let’s honor their Nov 2024 vote for this.
I've been very lucky that the folks at @51stnews have let me start reporting again, but this small-yet-mighty outlet has big ambitions: including hiring me full-time. We'd love it if you'd help support independent local journalism in D.C.! (And thank you a million times. Really.)
The 51st recently hired our first salaried employee (!) by bringing Christina on full-time as Executive Editor. Now, we need to hire Martin as our full-time reporter!!! You can help us get there by tossing a few dollars (or more...) to our fundraiser. 🥳 51st.news/help-us-hire-m…
Studies show: Trees are the true air conditioners. Under a tree, the temperature can be 15 C° cooler than measured in the ambient air. Shade and evaporation create the same effect as a conventional A/C, but without electricity. A tree produces about 20-30 KW/h, as much as ten A/C
Watch live now The full Council meets, first as the Committee of the Whole, then for a Legislative Meeting. Our first votes on the major budget component bills will be taken today. For agendas and viewing instructions, please see dccouncil.gov/how-to-watch-o…
Today, Ranked Choice Voting has been passed and funded throughout the financial plan! The District is in a strong position right now and this is a logical next step as our elections have become more competitive and more people are interested in serving their community.
@GWC_Growth advocates for policies that support independent workers, and businesses alike.
