I'm sorry, it is absolutely absurd that the United States Congress has left town on a two-week recess amid the longest Department of Homeland Security shutdown in history--during a peak travel season and a war. In what other industry is that abandonment of job duty acceptable?

Metro 🚇 runs frequent reliable service (actually extra trains w/ all the events this weekend) plus there’s good 🚌 service throughout the city, all easily tracked on apps, generally faster trips from airports/events & for way less $. 🤷‍♂️

DC people — if you’re looking to start off your day the right way, I highly recommend the series of hidden tubes under the city. Great way to celebrate avoiding traffic on north Capitol Street!
