Suffocating Smog, Congress Attacks D.C. Elections, and Local Pride History
It’s hazy out there! We chat about what to do about the Canadian smoke spreading across D.C. Plus, Congress has some thoughts on voting rules in the District. And of course, it’s pride month, and CCDC contributor Dan Reed has been reading up on that month’s local history.
As always, our Friday episode is fueled by local journalism:
- Capital Weather Gang is all over the haze and smoke status around the city.
- WAMU’s got you covered on what went down with Congress.
- Check out all the local Pride events in the city.
