THREAD I've tweeted something multiple times this year. A reminder for how to think about every article you read/story you watch: Consider the source. Consider the context. If it seems too good to be true, double check it. If you disagree with it, that doesn't make it wrong.
DMV, prepare for a tricky weather afternoon. #Fox5DC is staying ahead of this storm as it moves into our area. Be safe, be smart, be weather aware. @caitlinrothfox5 and @MikeTFox5 are keeping a close eye.
NOW: Former propane technician Roger Bentley found GUILTY of involuntary manslaughter after 2024 house explosion in Sterling, Virginia that killed Loudoun County volunteer firefighter Trevor Brown @fox5dc Jury deliberated for three days
Diving into this at 4:30+5 on #Fox5DC. Important note: A contingency of the land transfer to DC was a promise from the team to Montana Senator Steve Daines that there would be some homage paid to the old logo in a new RFK. fox5dc.com/news/rfk-bill-… fox5dc.com/news/trump-thr…
Fireworks Notification At 9:15 pm, tonight, 7/20/25, there will be a fireworks display at the @TheWharfDC from a barge in the Washington Channel. The display is for a private event and will last approximately 10 minutes in duration. Please do not be alarmed.
#Fox5DC is on after baseball. I'll have a live report from this scene. You can watch #Fox5DC on the #FoxLocal app. Busy weather afternoon, @sydneypersing @cesar_wx and I will help you #StayAhead on this Saturday Night.
Check this out. Car swept up by flood waters. AND an estimated 20 people stuck inside a building who are trapped by flood waters. In the last few minutes, it appears first responders think the flood waters have finally receded enough for them to get out. #Fox5DC #FoxLocal
Update-- Just confirmed with Md. National-Capital Park Police that all occupants at the graduation party made it out safely.

About to hop on #Fox5DC as a guest, with my friend @MahoneyEb to talk about her podcast, Senseless about the pain of gun violence. She interviewed me in an episode and we’re going to talk about that pain, moving on, and the importance of being there for one another.
TONS of electricity in this cell moving into Tyson’s area now. Be smart! #Fox5DC on the air now!
I’m just over here watching @RealChadRicardo cook at the DC Defenders championship celebration. Tune into #FoxLocal now!
Golf is a game of measurements. But the most important six inches on the course are between the ears. The heads at the US Adaptive Open are TOUGH, but good luck trying to measure the size of these hearts. It was an honor to meet players & families. fox5dc.com/news/us-adapti…
Folks, please be careful out there.
Storms starting to expand more and more across central Maryland, but the heaviest of the storms right now are in Northern Virginia approaching the I-95 corridor. Prince William & Stafford getting the worst of it at the moment. Storms continue to slowly drift eastward.
**CORRECTION*** 4:30 is on #Fox5PLUS 5:30 and 6:30 on #Fox5DC BUT WE'RE ALLLLLLLLWAYS ON #FoxLocal!
