One day you’re at Homecoming and the next you’re dressed as Mrs Potato Head at a Trunk or Treat. 😂
I love this month so much! The creativity is always so good.

A story about healthcare costs!
I’m expecting my 3rd baby in 5 years, so I’ve had a LOT of ultrasounds. I’m usually charged about $200 each time. My first ultrasound of this pregnancy, I was charged $2300.
Why? Something happening more often as hospitals buy up medical offices.

At this particular stage in the race, do we really think anyone is still undecided?
Most voters want the ads and the texts to stop.
Across the country, over $10 billion has already been spent on ads this cycle.
That’s $10 billion to convince an increasingly small number of persuadable voters.

This is the type of federal cooperation that D.C. officials have long called for more of, since the guns that are used in shootings and killings in the city clearly aren't sold here.
Today, @USAttyPirro and @USAO_EDNC announced that ATF agents arrested five individuals following a federal grand jury indictment in the Eastern District of North Carolina alleging their involvement in a firearms trafficking scheme: four were arrested in Maryland and one in Raleigh, North Carolina.
This enforcement action was conducted in collaboration with the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force—a federal task force chaired by the Homeland Security Advisor—to curb violent crime, address narcotics and firearms offenses, enforce quality-of-life and transit rules, and support local and federal police agencies.
The use of the word “estranged” is irritating me because it’s not capturing the gravity of what happened. Acton’s mother lost custody of her kids because she sided with her husband who sexually assaulted her daughter.

Thank you @chenderson and @BrianneKNadeau for your leadership in elevating this issue!
I wrote about Amazon, Walmart, and Target's era of priceless holiday catalogs, and what that means for consumers here: divfn.substack.com/p/the-era…
During today’s hearing on the surveillance pricing bill @stephtngu talked about the Amazon holiday toy catalog and how there are no prices listed, just QR codes.
I hid this from my kids because it arriving the first wk of October is disrespectful but WOW.

So he wasn’t cleared to sleep, but he was cleared to play?? 🤨
That finding was probably written by someone who has Zone 6 which stretches from RFK Stadium to Mt. Vernon Sq. 😏 Best zoned parking benefit in the city given its size.
NERDY PARKING STUFF: A few years ago @chenderson and @CMBrookePinto suggested that D.C. replace the existing ward-based residential parking zones with more smaller ones. Well, a new report from @TheLab_DC says smaller zones wouldn't really help with parking issues.

We really met that lady at the press briefing on Tuesday and she was out before COB Friday. 😭
OPM probably didn’t even process her healthcare paperwork yet.
Figured Mendo would start this tax hearing late, so I popped over to CVS for my flu shot and COVID vax. 💪🏾
In and out, easy breezy. And still made the hearing on time. 😉
He lied and gave them fentanyl. WTF.
