Looks like Bowser had some company on this trip: Some eagle-eyed tipsters spotted posts from both former Ward 4 CM Brandon Todd and ex-night mayor Shawn Townsend at the Masters too. Very curious to learn more about all this…

The battle over D.C.’s 2025 budget heats up as Mayor Bowser, Council Chair Mendelson, and CFO Lee clash over fiscal priorities. Loose Lips has all the details on this chaotic week in the Wilson Building. buff.ly/3PUyPXp
#BreakingNews - DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb tells Ted Leonsis in a stern letter this week that Leonsis’ DC contract means Leonsis cannot legally move his Caps & Wizards teams to Virginia until 2047 — 2047, that Leonsis can’t just pay off bonds early & move in 2027. @wcp
This quote is driving me up the wall. Can I interest you in a several-thousand-word article detailing how federal prosecutors very much had something to do with the crime lab's meltdown? washingtoncitypaper.com/article/573597… Agree or disagree with what the USAO did: they were involved!

New: Trayon White has racked up $20,500 in campaign finance fines, some of the biggest penalties in recent history. And regulators are demanding he return $59k in public funds he earned for his mayoral run. This could be a big problem for his 2024 bid: washingtoncitypaper.com/article/681659…

Would like to gently push back on the framing that this is a pivot to audio. Every DCist/WAMU reporter, like the four laid off today (myself included), writes for web AND produces radio stories. You can't fill a newscast without reporters!

Reminder: @wamu885 is a ratings juggernaut in the #8 national radio market, with one of the most educated and affluent audiences in the country. Today's news represents just a staggering failure of management and vision over a long period. ratings.radio-online.com/content/arb015
Absolutely devastating
This morning, @wamu885 management informed us they are laying off 15 vital people from our organization. These individuals are the lifeblood of our journalism. Our hearts are broken. We can’t believe we are losing our colleagues and friends.
Hello, Everybody - just a note that there is no Politics Hour or other local programming today on WAMU as the station’s management prepares to roll out a “new strategic framework” for all programming later this morning to its entire staff. No details yet.

folks at the DC public library were begging me and others to help get WAMU to respond to their offer to help archive DCist. After I finally got the provost to bully WAMU into responding, WAMU leadership claimed to journalism faculty that they had brokered the meeting themselves
public radio legend Diane Rehm tried to ask WAMU leadership about the shuttering of DCist and their confusing, inconsistent messaging around it. They muted her microphone during an all staff call and then, when asked about it, pretended not to know what the reporter was talking…
When WAMU laid off 16 people and closed DCist, the reasoning given was “content strategy word salad," per one staffer. @abeaujon cuts through the jargon and nonsense with a deeply reported, excellent look at what actually happened: washingtonian.com/2024/04/19/why…

My latest @WashInformer story follows two men who say that the D.C. Crime Lab's mishandling of evidence led to their convictions. In February, a judge denied their motion for a new trial, despite the lab's recent troubles. Read more. washingtoninformer.com/two-men-target…

If you enjoyed these looks, it's perhaps worth pointing out that they appeared on television nearly thirty years ago. The fact that George Costanza remains a style icon is a testament to the timelessness of these guidelines. Ignore them at your peril.
