"All of this raises a question that was unfathomable until recently: Is the nation’s capital, so long blessed by being the government’s company town, at risk of a fate resembling that of so many other company towns through the years? And if it is, why aren’t people beyond metro Washington more concerned about it? When Detroit was in free fall, Obama intervened to bail out the auto industry, deciding a great American city needed help. But now, the administration in power is itself delivering the fateful blow to a major city.

It is hard not to detect in this turnabout some resentment on the part of Trump allies and supporters from regions that have not been faring well in recent times. By 2012, when the country was finally emerging from the recession, seven of the 10 wealthiest counties were in metro Washington; the area’s number of high-net-worth households, with investable assets of more than $1 million, had risen by 30% since 2008. While Midwestern communities such as Vice President JD Vance’s hometown, Middletown, Ohio, were being crushed by the opioid epidemic, the Aston Martin dealership in Tysons Corner, Virginia, was selling hundreds of the bespoke James Bond car for about $280,000, and home prices in the District were approaching a 400% increase from the early 1990s."

Jackhammers have begun to remove the large yellow "Black Lives Matter" painted on to the street a block from the White House. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced the change last week, which was made as a result of pressure from Republicans in Congress. The words will be replaced by murals, the design of which is as yet unknown. "The removal amounts to a public acknowledgement of just how vulnerable the District of Columbia is now that Trump is back in the White House and Republicans control both houses of Congress," writes @AssociatedPress.

"#WashingtonDC has become the court of Nero, an incendiary Emperor, submissive courtiers, and a buffoon on Ketamine tasked with purging the civil service. #Trump's message is that it serves no purpose to be #America's ally since she won't defend you, she'll impose higher #tariffs on her allies than on her enemies, and he will threaten to seize your territories ​​while supporting the dictators that invade you..."

"“The guy in South Africa is not doing you any good...” he added, referring to #Musk and drawing nods & applause...

a Republican & retired US Army officer... [asked] “How can you tell me that #DOGE with some college whiz kids from a computer terminal in #WashingtonDC, without even getting into the field... have determined that it’s OK to cut veterans benefits?”

Republicans Face Angry Voters at Town Halls, Hinting at Broader Backlash

After a monthlong honeymoon for the G.O.P. at the start of President Trump’s term, lawmakers are confronting a groundswell of fear and disaffection in districts around the country.


Federal workers launch a new site to share inside information about DOGE

“They are destroyers. We are the builders.”

"a secure outlet for #government workers to share how their workplaces are being impacted by #DOGE...

aimed at informing the general #public about what’s happening inside federal agencies, as well as explaining how a #database being accessed by DOGE in #WashingtonDC could impact citizens in tangible ways all across the country."

Pissed that CDC is still on about handwashing. Pissed that #WashingtonDC #DCisOpen #DCisOpenForCOVID. Pissed that my government at all levels is just waiting to see if they need to act. About pandemics, climate, totalitarianism, too many cars, and MBAs.


Looks like #Trump threw US Army pilot & crew under the bus with his anti-DEI diatribe.
Trump suggests US Army pilot Captain Rebecca Lobech from Durham, NC maybe a DEI hire.

Here comes the ambulance chasers. Lawsuits will fly and the Government has a fat wallet.

The ex-military, asshat commentators / talking heads experts are reluctant to blame the Army #Blackhawk pilot. (This is nationwide.)
Never once mention the 200 ft. flight ceiling for helicopters in that corridor.
This POS cowboy was flying at 350 ft. , on the ILS glide path of Runway 33 when he slammed into a passenger jet killing 64 people.

These military asshats are dishonorable, dishonest and lowest form of life.

“ICE Raids in DC?” - PoPville

> "Dear PoPville, Seem to be ICE Raids around DC. Are you aware of this? Here is a spreadsheet of resources." Another reader sends some signs they spotted in Mount Pleasant:


Hey guys did you know hiring people with darker skin and funny accents causes plane crashes?

Just ask #trump cuz he is blaming the plane accident in #washingtondc on diversity hiring practices.

Not him gutting the FAA like a definition of the stupidest person I know.

You know what the last thing I would ever cut is?

The guy in charge of whether flying planes is perfectly safe or 100% deadly for everyone involved.

#Trump is holding a presser, an address to a shocked nation.
Naturally, he's using this moment as a doorstop to attack his predecessors' policy & politics with manufactured deceit.

This failed, pathetic substitute for a "humanbeing" never ceases to stoop lower.

Last night's #AmericanAirlines #crash at #DCA in #WashingtonDC was not the first time that the #figureSkating community experienced a mass tragedy. Few people will recall another disaster in 1961, which killed 73 from that community, headed from New York to Brussels:

🇮🇱 Israel ha solicitado a Washington 🇺🇸 que posponga su retirada del sur del Líbano 🇱🇧 por un mes más. La petición busca más tiempo para asegurar una transición ordenada en la región. ¿Qué implicaciones tendrá esta decisión en la política de seguridad? 🕊️🗓️ #Israel #Líbano #washingtondc


"With the assistance of big corporate donors, Democrats out-fundraised their opponent by huge margins. After Biden’s victory four years ago, they also had a readymade template for how to defeat him — preaching ambitious social policies and activist government — but bafflingly opted to pursue a rerun of Clinton’s disastrous strategy instead."
