The Once and Future City of Washington

There have been a few polls now showing blame for the shutdown at parity. For my Party, that's bad news, as they had a 10-15% advantage at the start. Perhaps it settles here, but if the trendiness do not, I suspect you will see some senate Ds become anxious, since the contours…


Funny Scary view of mid-tier consulting firm Deloitte. When in doubt, blame McKinsey.

AOC says "rivers were on fire" because of corporations like Deloitte "pouring chemicals" into waterways. Deloitte is an accounting, consulting, and tax services firm. No idea what she's talking about.



I’ve worked in and around the UN System for many years. It has no power to tax and should never be granted any such power.

The UN was created in the wake of World War II to promote international peace and security and prevent another catastrophic world war. Whatever one thinks of the UN’s performance on this score, it is clear that imposing taxes is NOT part of the UN’s mandate. The ability to impose…



The High Priestess speaks to her flock.

"In addition to simply wanting to enforce Trump's will...they want Americans to get used to having troops in the streets because they are looking to the 2026 election. That is the end game right there." @HC_Richardson joins @Timodc in today's Bulwark Podcast:

The rest of the assailants got away scott free because they let the juvies take the fall and DC didn’t even require them to turn in their co-conspirators in exchange for their light sentences

On this day in 1893, Lillian Gish was born in Springfield, OH. In 1988, I wrote to her asking if they had scripts and dialogue to memorize in silent films, or if the director just gave them a sense of what was being said. This was her astonishingly informative reply. Classy lady.

No Penn student trusts Penn’s Administration to speak the truth.

Pooper Scooper Revisionist History? Penn and/or fake Nobelist Michael Mann are now pretending that he resigned his administrative post at the university because of his new book vs. his vile social media activity about Charlie Kirk. But who has ever heard of a university…

Revelatory.

This is really something. Boris basically saying the treasury pushed for what has become known as the ‘Boriswave’ because of inflationary wage pressures. In other words, net migration of 900k in one year to stop wage growth.



Lay Minister Heather Cox Richardson leads a faithful flock which has abandoned God.

Heather Cox Richardson has more subscribers than Jimmy Kimmel has viewers. And every night, or thereabouts, she tells her 2.7 million followers that America is sliding into authoritarianism. Trump is a dictator, MAGA is inspired by Nazi political theory, and right-wing violence…

Bernie Sanders’ former senior foreign policy advisor pipes up.

Please take note of all the former Biden administration officials explaining why they were powerless to get the ceasefire Trump just got. They’re telling us why they should never serve in government again.



Why don't we start with school truancy and then take on -- nearly non-existent -- child labor in DC?

Thing I learned today: Some of D.C.'s laws prohibiting child labor date back to 1928, and there's no specific city agency charged with enforcing the laws against child labor. A new bill from @AnitaBondsDC and @CMFrumin would modernize D.C.'s child labor statutes and enforcement.

Columbia Heights and Navy Yard are two areas that interns and young staffers might visit. They shouldn't.

Two years at Andover as an Iowa farm girl washed away by Yale undergrad, Harvard Law, and time with Elizabeth Warren. Sad.

.@melmason scoops this video from 2021 in which Porter yells at a staffer: “get out of my fucking shot!” Here’s that moment: Watch the full video at this link. politico.com/news/2025/10/0…



Single-party rule in DC.

The DC Council earlier this year boldly and deliberately gutted the Open Meetings law, denying citizens the right to know what their public officials are doing. It’s an outrage and an insult to DC citizens.



Strange story. Says he did not know it was a religious holiday and the Harvard Crimson and Harvard's rabbi backed him up. The Free Beacon reports that his wife and kids are Jewish. Hard to believe that everyone forgot to clue in this guy.

200 explosives taken from man in tent on the stairs of one of America's most important Catholic Cathedrals the morning the federal judiciary was about to arrive.
