Dream City is back
👋 Cuneyt here. Dream City is back with a new episode — with NBC4’s Mark Segraves subbing in for Sherwood.
MPD is in real turmoil. On top of low morale and low staffing, 13 top police officials were served termination notices in a growing scandal over crime stats being manipulated.
We spent most of the show digging into the fallout: what happened, whether the recent drop in crime still holds up, and the work ahead for the next mayor.
And on that note, a lot of eyes are on D.C. ahead of America 250. The White House does not want anything to go haywire during President Trump’s extended July 4 programming. It’s all that gets talked about whenever Bowser officials meet with the feds.
Plus, in the speed round, we talk about courtroom drama tied to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting suspect, the latest with East Potomac Golf, a messy DC Water cleanup fight … and mayoral candidate Gary Goodweather’s viral dance moment.

Stop forgetting what you agreed to
You know that feeling when you leave a meeting and immediately forget half of what you promised?
That’s not a memory problem. It’s a meetings problem.
Granola helps you become the person who actually follows through. Take quick notes during the call; nothing formal. Granola transcribes in the background and turns those notes into clear summaries with real next steps.
After the call, share notes with the team so everyone’s aligned. Or chat with them to pull out exactly what needs to happen next.
No more dropped balls. Just clarity and follow-through.
