Why does DC still have no 24-hour vaccine site? (Even w the new pre-reg system, it doesn’t seem much will be changing initially.) We have plenty of large open spaces! Is it true we’re still not getting enough of a supply to do so — as this report claims? wusa9.com/article/news/v…
Only Georgia, Puerto Rico, and the Federated States of Micronesia (WW reference, ty, @Richard_Schiff) have a lower percentage of their population fully vaccinated. Why are we falling behind, @MayorBowser?
The NPR numbers also show that DC is tied with Kansas for lowest percent of our vaccine supply actually being used (at 68%), which suggests pretty strongly that it’s not *just* a supply issue! npr.org/sections/healt…
Important note about the “percent of doses used” number that would be making DC’s # artificially low. —>
This is fair, too, about our data probably being “dirtier” than lots of other places because of fed workers/VA/MD workers. —>
I was wondering if someone was saying this! Here’s DC Deputy Mayor John Falcicchio, who also serves as Mayor Bowser's chief of staff, in this @hunterw piece: news.yahoo.com/the-nations-ca…

Honest question: Are there any national reporters covering the wave of anti-trans legislation making its way forward in state legislatures across the country in anywhere near the depth that Chase is doing as a lawyer and advocate?
Cc: @benyt @brianstelter
I asked this b/c almost a decade ago @benyt poached me from @metroweekly to do basically the same job I had been doing — full-time national LGBT politics beat reporting — at a national non-LGBT-exclusive publication. It got some attention when he did so in 2012! He was right!
We’re far past time for a national publication to hire a trans writer to do the same here. (There are great trans writers doing great work, but no one has a full-time beat at a national non-queer publication, to my knowledge.)

Watching the RENT 25th anniversary event. 🥺
I guess I needed to cry tonight. ❤️
Will never forget going into the Nederlander in last-minute cancelation seats to see RENT on a day trip to NYC w @ATLJono in late ‘96. Will never forget the moment the oxygen left the room as the first notes of “One Song Glory” began. Will never forget the feeling of that day. 💖

One or more #SCOTUS opinions in argued cases coming this morning, starting in 5 minutes.
In today’s first opinion, in US Fish and Wildlife Service v. Sierra Club, #SCOTUS limits FOIA by broadly reading an exception to the public records law. 7-2 opinion by Barrett. Breyer, joined by Sotomayor, dissents. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20pdf…
The final #SCOTUS decision today makes deporting certain undocumented immigrants easier by ruling that the immigrant and not the govt bears the burden of proving that they have not been convicted of a crime that prevents “cancellation of removal.” The 5-3 opinion is by Gorsuch.
