@JesseMS42 @LauraHayesDC Yup!

@LauraHayesDC And then there's the one time you call it, thinking you have 10 minutes to get ready and it's right at your front door immediately

Is the steep decline in Uber & Lyft accuracy and reliability happening in other cities beyond DC? If the apps say they will get you a ride in four minutes, as soon as you book it’s 12 minutes and lately not even that has been accurate. Four-minute offers are more like 20 minutes.

@SpencerSays As I tried to see it using binoculars from my house!

This did not happen last night it’s from the light show on New Year’s Eve.

Trust me, I am no fan of Noem, Gabbard or Bondi, but I do find it notable that of the cabinet members Trump has fired or is reportedly considering firing, all three are women. How about Hegseth? Kennedy Jr. can't even find a CDC Director to match with his craziness. Patel is a laughing stock, and so on. Why aren't they being fired?

@tomsietsema 😂

I’m standing on the street, answering some email on my phone, when a woman with a bib and hair curlers runs out of a beauty shop and approaches me. “Are we good, sir?” Huh? She thought I was about to put a ticket on her car. We’re good, ma’am!

@AmtrakNECAlerts My question too!

Donald Trump called mail-in voting “mail-in cheating” on Monday. That same day, news broke that he just voted by mail in a Florida special election. His polling place is a 15-minute drive from Mar-a-Lago. He spent the last two weekends there. He mailed it anyway. He is now holding the entire country hostage to pass a bill making it harder for you to vote the way he just voted. Shameless hypocrisy. nytimes.com/2026/03/24/us/…

This whole ‘there are cherry blossoms’ in neighborhoods and not just the tidal basin always cracks me up. YES! The awesome Casey Trees even has a map!

@MacFarlaneNews @MeidasTouch Amazing news! Love @MeidasTouch and know you will be such a wonderful addition.

Same background on my new platform for unfiltered, independent reporting macfarlanenews.substack.com/p/alert-scotts…

@jonfavs @goldman People got fired for saying the same thing about Charlie Kirk but when the supreme leader says it, it is a-okay.

One day, Donald Trump will die, and his supporters will try to punish the people who say things like this.

@capitalweather I’m not sure I can take another winter like this one - happy with this declaration!

It was a long, harsh winter in D.C. We can finally call it over. After a long and often harsh season — punctuated by persistent cold, stubborn snow and ice, and a late-season chill this week — the pattern ahead has shifted. Milder air is taking hold, and there are no meaningful signs of a return to sustained cold or accumulating snow. That means we can officially declare the winter of 2025-2026 behind us. We’ve made it a tradition to mark the onset of spring once the threat of prolonged cold and lasting snow has passed. The forecast now clearly favors warmer days, budding trees and a steady march toward spring — even if a few bumps remain along the way. The forecast ahead is promising for flowers — and for fans of warmer weather. Highs surge into the 60s on Friday and reach the 70s by Sunday. But a warning: Springlike weather doesn’t mean sustained warmth. Next week, for example, daily highs bounce between the low 50s and mid-60s — a reminder that spring is a season of swings. Still, there is little sign of any return to sustained wintry weather.

@maustermuhle @marctomik!

If you're a Metro super fan, or someone who has collected or kept fun and weird Metro stuff from over the years (old farecards or tokens, the old paper bus transfers, Metro memorabilia), hit me up! I'm looking to chat with the most committed Metro nerds and stans out there.

@Hadas_Gold @mkraju DCA, IAD?

@brianstelter @Dan_Fogelman It’s insanely good. All the back stories are really starting to emerge, and the writing in particular is very strong for a suspense series.

🎉 @Dan_Fogelman is really cooking right now. Season 2 has been breathtaking

@MatthewCappucci @JasMollica Is part of it because so much of the weather monitoring technology was cut?

What a HORRIBLE forecast by meteorologists – especially myself. Not only were we spectacularly wrong – we communicated poorly. It became apparent last night that some of our initial expectations would prove fallacious. I'd like to address what went wrong with our forecast:

@spaceandbeans @CinemaTweets1 Agree- that was such a major fail!

@CinemaTweets1 Terrible camera placement, had to wait for the pictures to see who was on stage.

Billy Crystal just honored the late Rob Reiner with total & utter class. Man, this entire tribute made me so emotional. Crystal is maybe the only person capable of leading a tribute to Reiner like this. Seeing him is so reassuring. This was an unforgettable #Oscar moment.

@atrupar @grok What rally?

TRUMP: Jeff, did you know the rally of 250,000 people was fake? MASON: I saw reporting on it TRUMP: You wrote about it. And you knew it was fake, it was AI generated MASON: No, I didn't know TRUMP: You knew. You knew.

@Amtrak Any way to get the WiFi working on Acela train 2177?

@og_murrr @eat_dc @AmericanU We are now a “damp” campus.

@eat_dc @AmericanU besides the arena, are they still a dry campus?

The concessions operator has applied for a liquor license at @AmericanU's Bender Arena. Unfortunate name for a university facility planning to sell alcohol.

@eat_dc @AmericanU 😂
