Bittersweet. Today’s my last day at @8NEWS. I’m so incredibly thankful for all the people I’ve had by my side these past three years. Working in news isn’t easy, but they’ve made it well worth it. Richmond, I ❤️ you. But it’s time. Next stop → DC News Now 🕺 @WDVMTV / @DCW50

@AdMoBID @PoPville Read Mike Tabor's incredible story from @LancFarming: lancasterfarming.com/farming-news/o… P.S.: This is an important lesson to TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBORS! I learned all this simply by asking if they had any sage for sale!

YOUR SIGN TO SUPPORT THE ADMO FARMERS MARKET! After 50+ years making the weekend trek from PA to DC with fresh produce, Licking Creek Bend Farm's Mike Tabor says times are changing and this year may be the last. He says he doesn't do it for money, but it's depressing nonetheless.

On way 1st day teaching journalism course on covering immigration, met by ICE in Mt.Pleasant at Lamont - agents appear to take father driving young daughter, likely to school. Agents shoving bystanders, daughter sobs it’s her fault-she’d seen car parked for 2hrs. Trump’s America

Federal officials arrested a delivery driver on 14th Street NW this morning. I ask the man arrested, if they gave him a reason. He responded “they’re taking me.” DC neighbors stepped in to ask why he was being taken. No answer from officials. @wusa9

Washington, DC is a beautiful city. DC is home to 700K people and welcomes millions every year. We have the #1 park system, fantastic public schools, and a tremendous public transportation system. And we are at a 30-year low in violent crime. It's important for all who live here and visit to know how beautiful our city is and how proud we are of all that we've accomplished.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

CLEAN UP: @DCDPW is here working to remove the trash pile on Sheriff Rd NE. Less than 24 hours after the @DCNewsNow story first aired — neighbors here are getting a clean start.

TRASH MOUNTAIN: Neighbors @ this Northeast DC apartment complex tell @DCNewsNow the trash here has been piling up for over a month. Some of them say they’ve spent their own money trying to get it cleared out before - only for the pile to start growing again. Watch live at 4 📺

As we feared when we first saw the horrible disaster last night, we’ve learned Virginia families were among those lost. To protect their privacy the details have not been released. Please lift their loved ones, friends, neighbors, and our communities up in prayer tonight.

Reagan National airport will resume flight operations at 11:00am. All airport roads and terminals are open. Some flights have been delayed or cancelled, so passengers are encouraged to check with their airline for specific flight information.

Around 9 p.m. on Wednesday evening, emergency personnel at Reagan National Airport initiated their response to a crash between a passenger aircraft, identified by the FAA as American Eagle flight 5342, and a Sikorsky helicopter. Mutual aid from neighboring agencies were called to assist, and takeoffs and landings at the airport were halted for the remainder of the evening. We will continue to post information as it becomes available.
