If @MayorBowser and @councilofdc cared about #visionzero, they would have @DCDPW working every night and weekend to tow cars like these, which are both tow-eligible for unpaid tickets and in towaway zones. This crosswalk is next to a @dcpl branch and playground.

I left federal employment 9/5. My last severance and leave payouts came soon after the government reopened. Still getting paper notices (as a fed, I opted into e-notices) showing that the government paid me $0 this pay period. Thanks, I know, no need to send a letter about it.

Social Security field offices and TSCs staying open on 12/24 and 12/26.

Fun fact as I chill on hold with @SocialSecurity: hearing offices (& processing center rep call center, iirc) have a different hold song than the field offices & teleservice centers!

NEW: Very happy to see that customers were notified rather quickly about the report of smoke at Metro's L'Enfant Plaza Station. That was at 9:21 a.m. It's very important to keep passengers informed. Do you know who else needs to be promptly informed? That answer, of course, is

Tomorrow, November 27 and Friday, November 28, our offices are closed for Thanksgiving. You can manage your benefits online by creating a personal my Social Security account. Go Digital! Visit https://t.co/GX6YZe6TNO today.

Whereas some people look at DC's rivers & see pollution, others see potential. I spent time with some local fisherman — including fishing influencer Ernie the Hog Snatcher — and got a close look at what fishing in DC's waters means to them. 🎣 @51stnews https://t.co/9JSUTCcqDK

NEW: The Social Security Administration is abandoning plans to promulgate rules that experts say would have resulted in thousands of people losing their disability benefits. https://t.co/rxHBLow3hg

There are casings and crime scene tape in the 700 block of 3rd St SW too...were there two separate shootings? Or is 100 block of G where the victim was found but the crime happened on 3rd?

Shared a @facebook post about a pregnant tamandua @DenverZoo with my sister, who practices maternal fetal medicine nearby. Apparently that's spicy enough for a week's ban from Messenger! It's the only thing I sent in days so it had to be this. @Meta's appeals process is terrible.

I reported a parking violation. @dcdpw responded "Vehicle Not in Violation: vehicle has 1 boot eligible ticket, cannot tow vehicle." A) it had 3 tickets past the appeal window and owed $1955 overall B) it doesn't need unpaid fines to tow it from a *towaway zone*! @DCCarViolence

The @wmata McPherson Square 14th exit has 3 escalators: one is off and the other two are headed down. Why, especially with the escalator also closed, not have one up and one down?

Heads up that SNAP recipients will *begin* to miss benefits on Nov 1 but issuance is staggered throughout the month, in most states within the first 10 days but in some as late as the 28th

Critical #MissingPerson 15-year-old Ariel Wilfong, who was last seen in the 4500 block of Macarthur Boulevard, Northwest, on Thursday, October 23, 2025. Have info? Call (202) 727-9099 / text 50411

If you've ever reached out to us about birds in the Terminal, THIS IS FOR YOU! Travelers may notice equipment and personnel related to humane bird removal in Terminal 1 over the next two days. Once humanely captured, the birds will be released at a safe outdoor location. Details

Another day on Wesley Pl SW; another scofflaw vehicle blocking sightlines for a crosswalk next to a library, playground, and church. @DCDPW should tow on weekends and @DDOTDC should put bike racks here like they did in the similar no parking area across the street. @charlesallen

New: During Trump’s first term, Russ Vought did more than perhaps anyone else to turn the president’s demands and personal grievances into action. In his second term, it’s now Trump who is fulfilling Vought’s goal of dismantling the federal government.

When the Supreme Court recently allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will “promptly let the individual go.” For these Americans, that wasn’t true. https://t.co/ai0h2shTkM

It's FINALLY here!! The Fall Family Fest is tomorrow, Sunday, Oct 19 from 12:30 pm - 3:30 pm. The weather looks spectacular. Talon, George, Tom, Abe and Teddy are coming. ARE YOU??? The Lot at 4th and M St SW! Hope to see you there!

Well, @DCDPW responded...and issued a ticket. That is something, but it doesn't make the car easier to see around! It is a tow zone for a reason. We need something blocking the road there so the sightlines remain clear, especially given the number of kids who use the crosswalk.
