Modernizing aka straightening the track is the billion dollar question Ms. Andrea.
1st ride on long awaited new Acela cars - my take: smoother ride, wider aisles, stable tray tables that don’t dump your food and drinks in your lap, modern restrooms. Same polite staff. Thanks Amtrak!! Now America let’s modernize the rail bed and let them run at speed!

I appreciate this clear, strong statement from members of Maryland’s executive, legislative, and judicial branches against federal overreach.
Please see joint statement from Elected Representatives of Baltimore City and the State of Maryland. Together, we remain focused on what matters: defending our democracy, preventing federal overreach, & investing in public safety strategies that are making our residents safer.

Baltimore mayor Brandon Scott has reduced his city's homicide rate by 62%. It hasn't been this low since 1978. How did he do it? 🧵

FACT: DC students do NOT receive in-state tuition at public universities across the country. Instead, they can receive up to $10,000 per year from the DCTAG (DC Tuition Assistance Grant) program to help offset out-of-state tuition costs.

Very DC!
DC is a funny place. One day, you're 21, living in a group house in georgetown. You've got a 40-something year old random roommate and you're not quite sure why he lives there? but he's out of town a lot Fast forward, he's the head of USAID. And the trips suddenly make sense

This isn’t Arlington, VA.
People from Arlington: Arlington is so much better than DC. It's perfect. Arlington in reality:

Go the Navy Yard Whole Foods, it’s quiet and calm opposed to the others in DC.
What’s your favorite DC hack? For example, getting off the Metro at Cleveland Park to walk to the National Zoo vs getting off at Woodley Park.

More than 100,000 Metrorail trips were taken on Tuesday between 7 and 9 a.m., demonstrating a continued strong recovery in our midweek commute hours!
 
So far this year, 92% of our AM rush hour trips have been on time. Thanks for letting us get you to work! #wmata

I’m gonna piss off a few million New Yorkers but I’m sitting here in DC and folks: DC is the best city in the USA and is giving European cities a run for their money. New York is New York. There’s only one. It is more than just a city — it’s … an entire category unto itself.

Q: What specific legislation will you commit to to make child care affordable? Trump: Well, I would do that and we're sitting down, you know, I was, somebody, we had Marco Rubio and my daughter, Ivanka… But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about that because the child care is, child care couldn't, you know, there's something you have to have it in this country, you have to have it... I want to stay with child care… So we'll take care of it. Thank you

Hey DC, what’s something you do in the city that makes you very mindful, very demure?
