Food insecurity in the DC region is at a 5-year high — surpassing even the height of the pandemic, according to a new report from the Capital Area Food Bank.

If you ever visited the Southeast Library in Eastern Market, you'll remember it was... cramped. The newly renovated library reopens this Thursday, and it's awesome. The original building is intact, but an expanded ground floor and new basement have doubled the overall size.

Well, the Trump administration’s EPA found a simple way to stop hearing from the public just eliminate the requirement to ask them. The EPA is scrapping public notice and comment requirements for air pollution permits on new data centers and the power plants needed to run them.
