Replying to @CMRobertWhiteDC
We just had a marathon Council hearing on revenue and taxes as the District grapples with serious fiscal challenges. Ten days later, you’re talking about the District paying up to 1/3 of back rent. I guess the fiscal crisis has been resolved. Who knew? cc: @ChmnMendelson

I know this is pithy social media content, but does *anyone* anywhere ever think Congress would run D.C. better? Or any city, county or state? I dug into history for a story last year, and the really simple answer is absolutely not: 51st.news/district-of-congre


District of Congress? What could happen if Republicans repealed D.C.'s home rule

With history as our guide, we make some educated guesses.

Half of fatal fires occur over night. Right now Shaw and Tenleytown are without ladder trucks serving their communities. DC operates 16 ladder trucks and owns 33 ladder trucks . That leaves 17 extra for nights like this
Why are none available? DC deserves better.

Musk’s interview went great: Reporter: What is your thought on the ban of foreign students, you were one of those kids, right? Musk: “I think we want to stick to talking about spaceships.” Reporter: I was told that any topic is good. Musk: “Well no.”

Jared Kushner received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia & the UAE to carry out political favors and was encouraged to keep the money in Israel’s central bank. This is the biggest corruption scandal in political history. Kushner has managed to outcrime Trump!

I asked ChatGPT to depict what a Cheesecake Factory would look like if Saddam Hussein applied his tastes to it and... yeah. This is very Trumpy.
Steve Krakauer
@SteveKrakOct 24
This line is getting praise on X, but it’s actually elitist garbage written by a speechwriter who clearly hasn’t spent much time in a Cheesecake Factory, which has none of the gaudy Trump aesthetic, and just feels good to say because it represents flyover MAGA “night out.”

How Trump Gave the Worst Polluters a Free Pass (Gift Article)

The president temporarily waived clean-air rules for industrial facilities that spew cancer-causing gases. Then his appointees worked to gut the regulations altogether.

NEW: Scott Presler allowed multiple out of state GOP operatives to use his home in Pennsylvania to vote in the '24 election. Those operatives then left the state. Election lawyers say this could be in violation of PA voting laws. via @BrendanHartnett thebulwark.com/p/gop-operati

Meta's "accidental" suspension of the No Kings Instagram account — at a time when the org was posting updates from ongoing marches — was not an anomaly. I found dozens of similar instances of Meta "mistakenly" targeting left-leaning activist accounts, often during crucial election windows. My latest.

Another sad victim of our camera ticket system this morning on Georgia Ave @CMWendellFelder @CMRobertWhiteDC The takeaway from this is that we should get rid of the cameras. Definitely not that we should be impounding these cars earlier.

Imagine if Hunter Biden was denied a security clearance, Biden overrode it and gives him one anyway, he then is put in charge of Middle East foreign policy, had his phone hacked, and we find out he has two private bank accounts, one from Saudi Arabia and one from Israel

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k


The Art of the Deal: Jared Kushner’s Hacked Phone Revealed More Than $700 Million in Transfers

Whoa. The U.S. added 90% fewer jobs in 2025 than originally reported. That’s not a rounding error. That’s a massive difference between the economy Americans were told we had and the one we actually had.
Steve Rattner
@SteveRattnerOct 22
When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.
