Took a stroll around what some are calling D.C.’s hottest new club: Malcolm X Park. I asked locals what the restoration of the iconic fountain means to them, and I spoke with officials to learn more about the behind-the-scenes politics of the repairs. dc.citycast.fm/news/malcolm-…

The DC mayoral race boils down to rooted residents, who support Kenyan McDuffie, vs newcomers, who favor Janeese Lewis George. @CityCast_DC poll shows that Nats and Commanders fans are for McDuffie; fans of out of town teams for JLG dc.citycast.fm/dc-politics/d…

NEWS: In the first public poll of the D.C. mayoral race, @CityCast_DC finds that @Janeese4DC has a five-point lead over @kenyanmcduffie, just outside the margin of error. But: Ranked-choice voting could help McDuffie more; he's ahead on getting voters' second rankings.

only dc arch I recognize
HUFFMAN: Who is this arch for? BURGUM: The American people. And there are 68 capitals that have arches HUFFMAN: And we're gonna build one just a little taller than the one in Pyongyang, because someone in the White House insists ours be the biggest. And Trump said this arch is for him. We can enter that into the record if you like.
