It’s unfair for DC residents to shoulder a greater share of funding for @wmata than Maryland and Virginia. When I’m elected DC Council At-Large, I’ll fight to ensure our D(MV) neighbors step up and contribute more equitably to fuel and sustain WMATA. #ChavousforDC #DCMetro

Members from @dcfireems are pre-planning national monuments. These drills ensure firefighters know the building hazards and layout before an emergency occurs. Everyday is a training day for #DCsBravest

West Virginia National Guard Member Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe reunited with two members who helped to save his life after being critically wounded on November 26, 2025. Staff Sgt. Wolfe and his parents toured Engine 16, met with members on duty, and learned about @dcfireems.

Thank you, as always, to @FFADC / Friendship Fire Association for providing nourishment and drinks to #DCsBravest following the working fire on the 1400 block of Eastern Avenue NE.

Almost 4 weeks after sewage spill put hundreds of millions of gallons of raw sewage into Potomac River, DC issues its strongest warning. “Residents and pets should not touch the Potomac River, or engage in any Potomac recreational activities including fishing” @nbcwashington

DC deserves day one leadership — experienced, community-rooted, and focused on delivering real results to improve everyday quality of life. I’m Kevin Chavous, and I’m proud to announce my people-powered campaign for DC City Council At-Large. Join us: ChavousforDC.com

On this Martin Luther King day, I am inspired by the dream of Reverend King, channeled by so many, that our work for freedom, justice, equality, safety, and peace is unfinished, and ever so important. Dr. King was a huge supporter for DC Home Rule and autonomy. He knew, like we know, that taking away the right to have a representative democracy for the 700,000 residents who call DC home was unjust. We will continue to march on in his honor. Thank you to the organizers for the MLK Peace Parade today and everyone who came out across the city. It was wonderful to be together in community today. ☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️

#DCsBravest are proud to participate in the 21st Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Peace Walk and Parade in the great Ward 8. @dcfireems leadership, Engine 15, and Cadet Class 28 joined @MayorBowser and the city to honor the life and legacy of Dr. King.

BREAKING: ICE threw tear Gas into a Minneapolis vehicle with an African-American family and a six month old baby inside. The baby stopped breathing. Anybody who stands for this crap needs to re-examine their patriotism. Please don’t give these horrible people a reason to escalate even further. That is what they want.

Three years ago, James Madison had Curt Cignetti coaching football and Mark Byington coaching men's basketball. Now, Cignetti has Indiana 15-0 and playing for a national championship, and Byington has Vanderbilt 15-0 and off to their second-best start in school history.
