There goes the last reason I subscribed to WaPo...for 28 years on my own, plus 10 more reading it as a kid
May 29
Capital Weather Gang, the weather blog that has been a part of the Washington Post for almost 20 years, is becoming an independent site and rebranding as Capital Weather.
Per a note to WaPo staff today, the site will still contribute to WaPo during major weather events.

Signs on the station boards saying the problem has been resolved yet taking 30 minutes to go two stations, fancy new MetroPulse App won't even load. It's like we're back to the bad old days of EREL here.

The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.

The same MFing judge who blocked the Purple Line for three years (costing taxpayers billions) to help his country club buddies won't apply the same rules to (checks notes) the demolition of the White House.

U.S. District Judge Richard J Leon denied a motion by the National Trust for Historic Preservation that would have temporarily blocked the Trump administration's construction of the new ballroom at the White House. Leon is requiring the government to submit the construction plans to the NCPC by the end of the year, however, and the DOJ said that the government has made "initial outreach" to set up meetings on this front. @JakeMRosen

If only there were a guide, some kind of book, Christians could consult.
A Christian battle grows over whether empathy is virtue or weakness as the U.S. diversifies trib.al/lMHglMt

There will be many majestic photos of the #Supermoon on this site tonight and tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who got this lovely vantage point!

When there is a "schedule adjustment" at RI Avenue, what better way to use the time than to run on to the platform and capture this gem of a sunset tonight?

We are hearing a lot about our hometown in the media. This is our Portland today: people visiting Saturday Market, feeding geese, sipping espresso, biking, playing in the park, and going to food carts.
Learn how Portland is standing up for our community at Portland.gov/federal.

The D.C. police officers who were assaulted on Jan. 6 probably have some thoughts about this.

Been sitting for over 20 minutes outside and now reversing back in to Fort Totten. This seems like a service suspension to me... Cc: @RailTransitOPS

Hats off to the awesome @wmata station manager at Judiciary Sq for thinking on her feet and posting these so folks knew BEFORE leaving the fare area that they could turn around and use the elevator (which is only accessible from the train platform) if needed.

Nice work by @wmata tonight stopping all three of the longest escalators in the Americas at the Wheaton station at 545pm. Some of your older pax were really hurting.
