It finally happened! Xi'an Famous Foods has come south to DC! We grabbed our dinner from Xi’an Famous Foods at the “ghost kitchen” on Glebe in Alexandria last night. So good… fourmilefoodco.com

Already on the the train home…

Brand new arenas are quite nice. That is all. #ANonControversialTweetAboutAnArena

What kind of world do we live in where a sitting Senator can’t ask a question of a public official without being dragged away and handcuffed? This footage is outrageous — it’s something I’d expect out of an authoritarian nation, not the United States of America.

In 2019, I issued the first #LovingDay proclamation in Alexandria. These days, the things I proclaim carry far less significance. Pausing today to recognize the 58 years of Loving is also a recognition of the fragility of the rights we take for granted. Love is love.

My joint statement on today's politically motivated shootings in Minnesota with Senator Amy Klobuchar, Tina Smith, Congressman Brad Finstad, Angie Craig, Kelly Morrison, Rep.

If you are like me and one of those people who calls 395 “Shirley Highway” or DCA “Washington National,” this is gonna be hard for you. But I successfully took a new Metrobus Info route this morning and it worked! Check out your new routes here: wmata.com/initiatives/pl…

My recent vacation read was Krystyn Moon’s “Proximity to Power.” Professor Moon’s new book uncovers fascinating history covering a century and a half of the African-American experience in Alexandria. You will better understand our City and her people: uncpress.org/book/978146968…

It was a thrill to honor Mr. Bailey in 2022, a one-of-a-kind Alexandrian. He was one of the last surviving veterans of the Battle of the Bulge and a decorated veteran. He was a humble hero who we owe a debt of gratitude. Rest in peace, sir. Thank you. alxnow.com/2025/07/11/wwi…

No speeches to give. No cupcake distribution. Just relaxing and celebrating Alexandria’s 276th birthday!
