Just a random reminder that immigrants are good for society and good for the economy.

Another ✨ gold star ✨ day in D.C.! The Bishop's Garden at the National Cathedral is always a good idea on a day like today.
Thank you @capitalweather.com for helping orchestrate such a spectacular day in D.C. with the weather gods!
Saw #THEODYSSEY today. Thumbs up!Closed my eyes during the gruesome bits. Packed cinema. A lady, two rows in front of us, leapt out of her seat at the end and clapped! (Plot refresher 👉 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey)
“You said the 2020 election was rigged by either Venezuela or China. When you called that fella in Georgia pleading for 11,780 votes, was that part of the rigging, or part of the 6-year investigation? Just one more thing, sir, who was president while all this rigging took place?”
Important: Thick plume of smoke expected to reach DC area by Friday, with probable CODE RED, unhealthy air quality. Folks vulnerable to particle pollution should limit time outside, wear N95 mask. Best bet stay inside w/ windows closed, AC running. Details: www.capitalweather.com/wildfire-smo...
Another hot one today with afternoon readings around 95-100. Code orange air quality due to local ozone, but some wildfire smoke, too. Wildfire smoke probably a bigger issue Fri as temperatures come down a bit. Next good chance of rain is Saturday. (Photo by Brian Paeth)
We've reached at least 97 for DC, 94 at Dulles, and 95 at BWI Marshall. Combo of some wildfire smoke in our sky and higher humidity than expected may be helping keep temperatures a bit below the century mark. We'll take it?
His career was not without honor. But when his country needed him most, he failed it. In the competition between honor and imperfection that played out within Graham’s soul, it’s pretty clear which side won. trib.al/DxwEm0R
Lindsey Graham’s Legacy? It’s About One Thing Only, and It Isn’t Good
He alone had the moral authority within the Republican Party to try to stop Donald Trump, especially after January 6. He chose not to. That’s what we must remember today.

One more stunning shot from Val Proudkii (IG @val.proudkii) on the 4th of July 2026: @capitalweather.com
Chatted with this lovely man about his travels to Morocco, at the bus stop, as we were waiting to head over to Capitol Hill this morning.
From photographer #ValProudkii : a brilliant capture of the fireworks happening around the city before the main show (which was after midnight, on the 4th). @capitalweather.com
Throwback #DCsunrise photo. [Gosh, I miss going down there. It's just not the same right now. But it will be back to normal at some point. #midterms ]
Watch: Dramatic lightning strike during DC's fireworks Saturday night. While lightning appears to strike Washington Monument, the bolt actually is behind it. Video by @AlyssaNegvesky on X
Literally like viewing the apocalypse instead of the Fifth of July
