DC Fumbling RFK Neighborhood Already, the End of the Streatery, and DC's Best Movies
Welp, that was fast — the new stadium just got approved and already there are delays in the new neighborhood DC was supposed to get as a result. We’re going to talk about why, and what it means for DC even as the Trump administration threatens new mass firings if there’s a government shutdown. Plus, we’re going to talk about the end of the streatery program. And there’s a new list circulating of the best DC movies, books, and songs. It’s meant to start an argument, and we’ve taken the bait.
