Had a great ride to DCA on Capital Bikeshare e-bikes on Saturday, but it was stressful to get there to find there was no parking once we got there! (Fortunately we were only charged $2 each for not parking in the dock).

Look how much longer the TSA PreCheck line is than the regular line at Reagan National Airport. I know the PreCheck process is faster, but I sure don’t think it’s worth it right now! The line was even longer than the video shows because it stretches back towards the escalators.

Just a reminder that the opinion section is walled-off from the newsroom and is home to about a tenth of the Post's journalists. I have had so many conversations with folks who canceled their subs, urging them to reconsider and stressing that ownership doesn't interfere in
