Dream City is back
👋 Cuneyt here. There are fears of big budget cuts to child care subsidies and health programs at the Wilson Building, where Mayor Bowser recently told council members that tough choices are ahead.
Plus, one of the worst sewage spills in U.S. history is happening in the Potomac River. Local leaders should speak up more about the environmental disaster, Tom says.
And we have a new speed round segment at the end — talking about Metro’s rebound, the Baltimore Banner expanding into D.C. sports, a DOGE’d fed running for mayor and more.
Happy birthday to George Washington
