I'm asking @joshjacobsondc for lottery numbers
Funnier outcome - RWhite resigns seat when sworn into Congress, so then only 2 Dem electeds AL. Before DSC can meet, @chenderson or @tweetelissa switch reg to Dem, becoming the 3rd (and last allowed) AL Dem. Then Council gets to appoint the Indy AL seat 😜

The clocks fall back tonight at 2am giving us all an extra hour of sleep BUT
Metro service is not extended for this. If your last train or bus is at 2am, that means one minute after 1:59am not 61 minutes after.
Don’t forget: clocks fall back one hour tonight. ⏰
Before you head out tomorrow, make sure your devices and alarms are set to standard time. Whether you're catching an early train, boarding a bus, or enjoying that extra hour of sleep, Metro will be ready to get you where you need to go.
Clocks change, but rail service does not add an extra hour. Service ends shortly after 1:59 a.m., before clocks turn back to 1 a.m.
Late-night Metro Bus customers, there may be some gaps in service during the time adjustment. Check Metro Pulse to confirm when your bus is coming: wmata.com/MetroPulse

Wrong Councilmember White to Resign on Monday
CM @CMRobertWhiteDC will resign Monday, per his campaign. This caps a weeklong saga all over a provision White and other candidates knew about when they signed up to run for D.C. Delegate.

DC built a Metro station expecting 10,000 daily riders. Now it's seeing more than TRIPLE that!
NoMa-Gallaudet U is becoming a victim of its own SUCCESS, having just shattered its all-time ridership record with a staggering 31,200 trips in a SINGLE DAY!
Now DC is planning a NEW entrance and pedestrian tunnel toward Union Market.
Here's a look inside the proposed tunnel.
This can't come soon enough
NoMa built so much housing that its Metro station needs another front door.
A proposed $50 MILLION entrance at 3rd & N Streets NE would tunnel beneath the railroad tracks to connect the Red Line more directly to Union Market and neighborhoods east of the station.
• Nearly 5 minutes shaved off walks to Union Market
• An alternative to the narrow Florida Avenue underpass
• More homes and businesses within an easy walk of Metro
• Construction expected to begin in 2028
Building housing around transit works. Now the infrastructure needs to catch up.
What other Metro stations need another entrance?

While I welcome the withdrawal, we need procedural changes and accountability to ensure legislation that directly impacts ANCs is accessibly by ANCs before it reaches a hearing. ANCs already serve without pay, and many of us had to take leave from our paid jobs to be there.

NEW: "It’s been hell." "I’m dead inside." "I honestly don’t know if I will ever find work in the U.S. again, let alone D.C." "It’s akin to screaming into a void."
