New: @Janeese4DC just released an internal poll showing her up by 14 in the mayoral race: her lead stays at 12 even when they run a RCV simulation. This is quite the change from the public poll of the race, but I will say I’ve heard rumors of private polls with similar results.

NEWS: In the first public poll of the D.C. mayoral race, @CityCast_DC finds that @Janeese4DC has a five-point lead over @kenyanmcduffie, just outside the margin of error. But: Ranked-choice voting could help McDuffie more; he's ahead on getting voters' second rankings.

Wow! I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a candidate outright lie that unions endorsed him that actually endorsed his opponents and send it en masse to voters. What are the legal and financial consequences for this? @Vote4DC @tomsherwood @maustermuhle @cuneytdil
Amanda Michelle Gomez@amanduhgomez

Lying to win an election. @DCLabor and @DCNurses1 endorsed @Janeese4DC, NOT @kenyanmcduffie. And @IAFF36 has not endorsed.

New: DC's campaign finance office is none too pleased with @AUDCRESEARCH, the dark money group running ads against JLG. After a former JLG staffer filed a complaint alleging it hasn't properly filed its disclosures, OCF wants it to fix those issues...or cease running ads.

🇺🇸BREAKING: Louisiana Republicans just cancelled an active election. Ballots already cast. Votes already recorded. All of it thrown out to redraw maps and eliminate Black majority districts. Watch what democracy looks like when it’s being dismantled in real time. 👇

This is laughably absurd & another example of just bad reporting. There is no statistical difference between those two numbers, particularly at smaller narrow demographic sample sizes. To be clear, in the last 4 decades NO ONE has had worse numbers among Black voters than Trump
(((Harry Enten)))@ForecasterEnten

Trump's GOP is holding on to the generational gains they made with Black voters in the 2024 election. The GOP has gained 12 pts on the Dems on party id with African Americans vs. Trump term 1 at this point. Trump's approval with Black voters is higher than it was in term 1.

ICE take 10 year old boy to court to deport him—all alone without even a lawyer. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing—no one offered him a change for many hours. "I was scared because it was my first time in court," he said. Separated from his mom for 4 months now after she was detained during a traffic stop. Wilfredo and his mother are originally from Venezuela with a pending asylum case. ICE is now trying to deport him alone without legal representation to Ecuador—a country he's never been to and does not know a single person. He is temporarily staying with his mom's former boss in Houston, Texas.

Janet Mills: “I’m running for just one term, because I’m going to go down to Washington and get shit done. We’ve got to institute term limits. Two 6-year terms for the Senate and six 2-year terms for the House of Representatives.”

Her name was Cerina. She was a mother of two. A dentist who graduated with honors. She loved to read, run trails, travel and spend time with her family. And like all too many women who become victims of domestic violence, her husband killed her. cbsnews.com/news/justin-fa…

“DC is the toughest place in the country to launch a new business…One-in-three will fail in the first year…compared to 20% around the country…The picture remains ugly for DC with 57% failing after five years and 72% failing after a decade.” >via @WTOP: wtop.com/business-finan…

JUST IN🚨: All felony charges against former Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore have been dropped. The judge ruled his mistress was NOT a victim of stalking — court evidence showed Moore was set up and police withheld key evidence.

In Feb. 2026, UofL announced it would pause its Pan-African Studies graduate program. The decision has sparked concern from faculty, students, and scholars nationwide. Pausing Pan-African Studies at UofL isn’t just about “enrollment,” it’s about whose history, scholarship, and voices are valued. When programs that center Black identity are sidelined, we must ask: what message does that send? Education should expand truth, not erase it.
