Limited government starts with this axiom: Bureaucrats shouldn’t kill citizens. The point of the state having a monopoly on the use of violence is not that the state should do violence, it’s that violence is thereby prevented.

Sorry to keep repeating this, but the League is the only org fighting only for the people on bikes, and in these times, we gotta fight. Please become a member if you’re able (and vote for me as a board member starting Monday)

League of American Bicyclists

Last week, the Secretary of Transportation sent a letter asking Congress to restrict almost all federal transportation funding for bike lanes, and instead fund bike lane removals. This is just the latest escalation in the administration's war on bike lanes. Take action: bikeleague.org/action-center

Alexandria's new kayak launch at Four Mile Run Park is closed and its floating dock and gangway are no longer at the site, less than three months after a grand opening ceremony that City Council attended.

I broke down the Nats trade deadline, why they traded who they traded, what they got in return and how it hopefully fits into an accelerated plan for contention. nextyeardc.com/post/TradeDe...

(THREAD) I finally read this - I think 100,000 jobs lost is a bigger part of the story than it's placement in the article. That being said, my direct experience is limited and entirely outside of the District.

Metro unveiled the bus network redesign, “Better Bus,” in 2025. Since, ridership has fallen and buses slowed. Why? It’s complicated but some mix of a lack of dedicated lanes, changed commuting patterns and the innate human resistance to anything new. #washingtondc @rachelweiner.bsky.social

The competitive balance problem in MLB isn’t that some owners can’t afford to pay the players they need to win. The problem is that too many owners aren’t actually trying to field winning teams. It’s an ownership problem, not a salary problem.

Craig is right: Every team in baseball that needs someone like Skubal could have put together two iffy post-Tommy John arms and an unproven power prospect. The problem isn’t that only the Dodgers could do the deal; the problem is that only the Dodgers would do the deal.

I’ve flown in or out of Dulles Airport hundreds of times—no joke, folks—which more than qualifies me to be an IAD Opinion Haver. So here is my take on the $22.5 billion transformation plan unveiled Wednesday, in particular the two parts of it that need to go in the bit bucket immediately.

Dulles Airport does need a reboot, but the two dumbest parts of its $22.5 billion redesign need to get the boot firstFor decades, it was screamingly obvious that Washington Dulles International Airport desperately needed three upgrades: extending Metro to there, replacing its horribly cramped C/D concourse, and r…robpegoraro.com
