Greater Greater Washington

It's a great time of year to enjoy the Washington region's hiking trails--check out five you can reach without a car. Speaking of cars, find out why our regional transportation plan is inadequate to meet emissions reduction goals. With armed soldiers patrolling DC's streets and a bill to remove our democratically elected officials, Mayor Bowser's strategy of "playing nice" with the president since January hasn't got us far. After that, need some fun in your feed? Try playing Junctions. (Psst, click that link at the end to get your tickets to the Fall Mixer!)

Another disappointing act of appeasement won’t help DC

Caitlin Rogger (Deputy Executive Director) • September 4, 2025

The mayor’s strategy of “playing nice” has repeatedly failed since the beginning of Trump’s second term. It hasn’t protected us from the once-unimaginable reality of armed soldiers patrolling our streets, or the House threatening to replace our elected officials. By willingly surrendering our right to an accountable local government, appeasement makes it harder for the District—or any city—to be governed in a way that actually serves its people.
