Interesting: Charles Allen has a new bill that would require that micro-mobility devices (scooters, e-bikes, etc.) sold or rented in D.C. have batteries that are certified to meet safety standards. This is to prevent fires that can happen when uncertified batteries are charged.

Tom, context matters. In April we had 26 overruns from over 213,000+ 🔴🚇station stops which is a 99.99% reliability rate & overruns are not considered a safety issue by federal database or other peer agencies as it simply does not pose a safety risk. ATO is safer operations.

We’ve got several trees around the Ward down on sidewalks, streets, & in parks. This one in Stanton Park has been flagged for DDOT and NPS for removal. Crews will be working all day to remove trees & branches. If you see some not getting addressed, please let me know! DDOT DC

It was great to see the Glenn back on our waters after a long time in dry dock. Welcome back and thanks for helping us with today’s Blessing of the Fleet!

Deepest condolences to Rep Connolly’s family & friends. He was a fierce advocate for his constituents & community, a leader in Congress & our country for fairness and justice, and he was a true friend to the District of Columbia and all who call it home. He will be missed deeply.

This is a horrific act of targeted hate and violence and should be condemned by all. My heart goes out to the victims & their families. The Capital Jewish Museum is a place of peace, history, & culture celebrating the Jewish community & contributions in our Nation’s Capital.

Met this afternoon with the leadership of the DC Federation of Democratic Women to talk about several priorities: Safe Passages for school kids, transportation & bus changes coming, & traffic safety for everyone on our roads.

With the budget released today, hearings get underway. My Committee on Transportation and the Environment hearings begin next week. People can testify in person or virtually, or submit written. Details 👇

A first read of the proposed budget shows DC is walking away from our commitments to lower utility bills & reduce our largest sources of carbon output and pollution from our buildings. Read Charles Allen's statement following today's release of the Mayor's proposed FY26 budget:

I ❤️ my #Ward6 Councilman! Thank you Charles Allen and the team! You heard our concerns and took action. Everyone should be watching this hearing and demanding this bill be passed!

A+ for effort, but these “new” signs going up are not real. Apparently posted around 2nd and D Street SE. While clever and funny, DDOT will be heading out to take down so the correct parking signs are displayed. DDOT DC

Leah is an amazing neighbor, entrepreneur, leader, & friend. She made Hill’s Kitchen into one of the heartbeats of Capitol Hill. She dispensed advice about the new pan or gadget you needed as easily as she greeted everyone with a huge smile or hug. She built something special!
