I wish there were access to the station from the north side so it was quicker to walk, you can see where a second entrance could let people in as a shortcut from where you were standing

Supporting a bill to gut DC’s Home Rule over a 20-cent delivery fee is insane.
No more @DoorDash for us, DC.
Interesting: @DoorDash is supporting the GOP bill in Congress to limit D.C.'s ability to increase or decrease taxes and fees, largely in response to the D.C. Council's recent vote in impose a new 20-cent delivery fee to help fund food-access programs. notus.org/metro/ubereats-doo…

Now @DoorDash is doubling down on its assault on Home Rule and promising to "continue" its efforts. Delete the app, DC! ❌❌❌

@PurpleLineMD rail vehicle (LRV #119A) is parked on top of the outdoor inspection pit at the Lyttonsville Maintenance Facility and has been moving around the West end of the line since last Monday. #bikeDC #PurpleLineMD #purplelineprogress #CCTrail #LightRail @purplelinenow

The rails are laid, the wires are hung and the signal lights are powered in the Rock Creek Park section of @PurpleLineMD where the first test train will run as soon as this week from the Lyttonsville station to Bethesda. #BikeDC #PurpleLineMD @purplelinenow #purplelineprogress

The Capital Crescent Trail bridge construction site at the Silver Spring Metro and @PurpleLineMD stations has sat dormant for several years and one of the reasons the opening of the trail has been pushed back until fall. #CCT #BikeDC #PurpleLineMD @WABADC @purplelinenow #Metro

BREAKING: Metro’s board of directors votes unanimously to approve a plan that calls for the Red Line to become fully automated, meaning trains could run without operators. Metro leaders caution the project is dependent on federal money-the earliest it could launch is 2032. #wmata

DC people — if you’re looking to start off your day the right way, I highly recommend the series of hidden tubes under the city. Great way to celebrate avoiding traffic on north Capitol Street!

Republicans when a beloved watershed is pristine and untouched:
BREAKING: The Senate just passed the legislation allowing the devastation of the Boundary Waters.
The motion passed 50-49, and now goes to Donald Trump’s desk.
The way Republicans passed this bill that prevents future administrations from issuing protections for Superior National Forest, so this pristine land will be exploited in perpetuity unless Congress intervenes to reverse this decision.
The state of Minnesota can still block the Chilean mining corporation from operating in Superior National Forest and protect the Boundary Waters from pollution.

Interesting: A new bill from @trayonwhite would allow low-income D.C. residents to perform community service as a means to pay off traffic camera fines. Each hour of service would be equivalent to the minimum wage ($17.95) off of what they owe in fines.

Fun fact: The new Elizabeth line in London moved more people in 2025 than Highway 401, the busiest freeway in North America.

It didn’t take me long, when I first moved to the D.C. area, to realize why public transit so important. It’s not ideological. It’s practical. Cities require a certain public spiritedness, a certain communitarianism.

The new Metropolitan Branch Trail bridge over Georgia Ave is nearing completion with final grading happening on the east side approaches. #bikeDC #CCT #BikeTrails #MetropolitanBranch @purplelinenow @WABADC
