spoke to Lina Khan today about the AI madness and what the hell we should be doing to hold these companies accountable (in a way that takes their power seriously but doesn't buy into every narrative) full pod coming in the AM!

Yesterday I added to community efforts to tend to memorials for Armando Ramos Martinez and Allie Hart in Brookland. Many neighbors help create and maintain these memorials out of care for them, their families, our neighbors, and our community.

Seven Republicans are running for local office in D.C., trying to get the GOP back in local politics after almost two decades on the outs.
They're focusing on bread-and-butter issues, but will voters overlook the Trump brand? In @washingtonsun.bsky.social: washingtonsun.com/metro/dc-rep...

What’s the Point of Running as a Republican in D.C.?

On the D.C. budget, Lee says the council has funded some big programs on a one-year basis, meaning that those same programs could face big cuts in the 2028 fiscal year, the first budget that likely mayor @janeese4dc.bsky.social will be formulating.

NEW: Resolving only some of the confusion surrounding the status of TPS for 170,000 Salvadorans who have been here living and working here legally since 2001, USCIS posts the following message.
Needless to say, this reprieve of unknown length is wildly far from the orderly process mandated by law.

centrist dems be like “we have bold, serious, inspiring policy proposals” and it’s literally fucking taxpayer subsidized car loans
More than 10 million Americans take out a used car loan every year, with an average rate of an insane 11.4%.
We lower those rates by 4 points with our FHA for Car Loans proposal, saving the typical borrower $6,000 over the life of their loan.
