About this episode
The episode discusses the fallout from a shooting at the White House Correspondents Association, ride-share app Empower's issues in DC, and the implications of Trump's plans for the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool.
We’re talking about the fallout from the White House Correspondents Association shooting over the weekend; we’re talking about the ride-share app Empower and its latest fight with DC. We’ll also take a dip, metaphorically, in the debate over Trump’s plans for the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool. And a question that will affect the upcoming DC mayoral election: Does the Post editorial board still have any sway over local voters? Want some more DC news?
