Capitol Hill residents had to evacuate today— it wasn’t just the LOC and the house office buildings who did. We were affected today and on April 2 and especially on January 6. We live here! We exist! We pay taxes but have no full representation! NATIONAL REPORTERS TAKE NOTE!

Just because you want to build new complex in VA doesn’t mean that VA can actually withstand that complex. The transportation infrastructure alone is going to be hell to whip into shape from Route 1 to Metro, to balancing the existing traffic from Amazon, DCA, etc. It’s a lot!

This is a reminder to go shop at 7 River Mart and support your local corner store. And if you’re a neighbor around 10th and C NE, check your cameras if you see anything.
Sam is just the sweetest, kindest corner store owner, but this week, he got robbed and beat up a bit by a couple of teenagers. Nice to see the neighborhood come out and support him.

NEWS RELEASE: On Sunday, May 14, an off-leash dog attacked a wild beaver in Rock Creek Park near Boulder Bridge. Due to the severity of its injuries, the beaver was euthanized. Help protect our resources and keep pets leashed at all times.

This is extremely disappointing.
I support D.C. Statehood and home-rule – but I don’t support some of the changes D.C. Council put forward over the Mayor’s objections – such as lowering penalties for carjackings.
If the Senate votes to overturn what D.C. Council did – I’ll sign it.

No offense, but this isn’t something we’ve never seen before. Everyone in the area has been personally victimized by a plugged-up 395, so this is, basically, Monday.
"They [police] blocked all the exits off," truckers are now yelling over the CB radio while on I-395N near the 14th St. bridge. One trucker pledges to "plug this f*cking highway up...completely."

While I appreciate the geography lesson, I was strictly referring to the fact that route 50 does not appear to be in this photo because it’s under several feet of water.
@theHillisHome
Some folks in D.C. need to bone up on regional geography. Route 50, known in some places as New York Ave. and others as the John Hanson Highway, connects the District and Annapolis. It runs through Prince George's County, which, incidentally, has a larger population than DC.

Had to go to Union Station tonight. Walked through a cloud of pot smoke at the front door and past a guy peeing on the building. Inside I was pan-handled twice and I watched a guy sell smack to a woman, which she took into the bathroom. Sad. Just sad.
