@JamesMurphy It is STEAMY out there. Reminds me of the Amazonia house at the Zoo.

When did DC become the new rainforest!!!

@TheDegenWeekly Excellent choice.

Who knows hot dog ball? I’m at the store and overwhelmed with the options. Sabrett Hebrew National Nathan’s Ballpark Oscar Meyer I went with Hebrew National.

@TheDemocrats This is a terrible way to talk about veterans who gave their lives in service to this country. Disagree with the war. That's reasonable and legitimate. But don't politicize the death of soldiers as a means of making a political point. It's beneath the dignity of their lives.

On Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country and made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms. Today, we remember their courage, honor their legacies, and keep their families and loved ones in our thoughts.

Honoring the sacrifice of those who gave their lives to defend our freedoms and thinking of those who continue to serve. Freedom is never without a cost.

@DemolishSEblvd These were deemed closest in size and scope to the CTF Annex project. Definitely all extremely expensive and certainly formed the basis of seeking a private-public partnership.

@DemolishSEblvd The comparitor facilities were Denver, Franklin County (OH), Jackson County (MO), Joliet (IL), San Mateo (CA) and NYC BBJ (Brooklyn). The projected project costs of those projects ranged from $1,200 per SF to $1,600 per SF with total costs ranging from $1.069B to $2.189B.

Similar jails cost $300 million throughout the rest of the country.

@AP My dad recently had a cold that turned into pneumonia and led to a pulmonary embolism. We are very fortunate that he got so sick so fast that he ended up in the hospital and they found the clots. Serious illness can come on so fast and have life threatening consequences.

Kyle Busch died after severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications, according to a statement released by his family. apnews.com/article/kyle-b…

@SouthernKeeks We were pretty middle class. We rarely ate out. Most of our meals were eaten at home. And things like Dunkin Donuts on a Saturday or fast food or dinner at Friendlys was a treat.

Me: “We didn’t grow up with much. I rarely had fast food as a kid.” Rando X users: “You’re lying!!!!” 🙄

@north0fnorth Once Commanders stadium is built, DC will have this!

quick related fun fact: chicago is currently the only u.s. city to have at least one team in all five major leagues (mlb, nba, nfl, nhl, and mls) AND all of its teams inside city limits. feels like we’re losing something intangibly special here

@BiblicalBeauty Teaism Penn Quarter! It's right by Archives-Navy Memorial metro and walkable to the National Mall. There's also a location by Lafayette Park (the White House).

Does anyone have Washington D.C. recommendations for tea lovers like myself? 🫖☕️

@CollinRugg Evil.

NEW: The Georgia high school teacher who was already accused of m*lesting a student in a school closet has been slapped with 11 new charges. Maris Nichols, 25, has been arrested again just two weeks after her first arrest. Here is what she is accused of: - Abusing five other teens, including a girl. - Having s*x with a student in a classroom closet. - Having s*x with a teen in a public area. - Having s*x with a teen in his car at a golf course one day after having s*x with a different teen in his Hummer. - Sending videos of herself to teens under 16. - Sending photos to a girl and telling her to watch "Fifty Shades of Grey."

@RoKhanna That's why more people voted for Donald Trump?

There is not a single mention of Gaza in the 192 page DNC autopsy report. As someone who campaigned in Michigan and Wisconsin, let me tell you- one of the main reasons we lost was our blank check to Israel while they committed a genocide. Our party must put human rights first.

@JHWeissmann @DCDPW If you send me an email at lindsey.appiah@dc.gov, I will see what we can do to get this corrected.

OK, it's come to this: @DCDPW has now missed trash collection on my street for 4 weeks in a row now. I have talked to customer service people at the department at least 4 times (aside from calling 311). Somehow, nothing is working. What will it take to fix this?

@Meagan_Flynn Congratulations! And welcome to the world, Micah. May you act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God all the days of your life.

Happy DC natives day to all who celebrate but especially the newest, tiniest one! Introducing our bundle of joy, Micah Thomas Selk, named in honor of my dad Tom, who lived by Micah 6:8. I’ll be taking some time away from the D.C. beat to be with him.

@TurnTheLP This is so unbelievably kind and is the kind of thing that makes our big city feel like a small town. How lovely to know there are operators like this looking out for your boys as they travel to and from school!

So - my son will get to play his trumpet in the school concert tonight after all! I'm so humbled that this operator took the time (on his day off!) to get this back to us faster than the lost & found process could. I wish we knew his name so we could formally thank him!

I have a beautiful @wmata story to tell. My three sons take Metrobus to and from school together every day. Yesterday, one of them left his trumpet on the bus when getting off at home. Of course, tonight he has a band concert...🧵

@jsfreed DC's autonomy is precarious and that is true no matter which parties are in Congress. This is a particularly critical moment. There are many ways to erode the autonomy of the District besides fully eliminating home rule and too many are willing to gamble right now.

Anyone who thinks concerns about JLG’s spending plans are overblown should read 👇🏻. Gutting DC pension funds would send the city back into the awful days of being fiscal basket case.

@DecisionDeskHQ Is that what voters in Kentucky are saying? Did people ask them what they care/cared about? I don't really have a strong opinion but I think voters are not focused on the same things that their representatives are.

Too many in leadership positions today are more interested in their personal power and platforms than in serving people. And it shows. Our current culture is a mess. The whole point of power and influence is to use it to help people.
