    Why Can't DC Solve Its 'Teen Takeover' Problem?

    Teen Takeovers — and what to do about them — has become one of the most divisive issues in local Washington. The mayor announced a new curfew; rivals like mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George oppose them. Georgetown University juvenile-justice scholar Eduardo Ferrer is not one of the folks who’s on the fence about the issue: He thinks curfews are a rotten idea. We talked about how to reach kids, how to avert antisocial behavior, and what Washington should expect as a long hot summer looms.  Want some more DC news?

Later, Medeiros examines China’s balancing of its economic interests in both Iran and the Gulf countries, China’s Iranian oil “loophole” via the UAE, and if the Iran war is deepening fractures in Western alliances, potentially upending the global rules-based order.

    The Map Killing Housing In DC

    DC is a big city, but did you know that it’s actually illegal to build anything other than a suburban-style house in most of it? According to today's guest David Alpert, that’s one reason housing is so expensive in Washington. Alpert has spent years advocating for rewriting the rules, and this month, he’s among the folks who are bitterly disappointed that the Bowser administration’s land-use map for the next couple decades is basically the same as the one we’ve had since the 20th century. He’s here to explain what happened and where things go from here. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC.

    Painful Cuts, Bright Spots, Shit Sandwich? The New DC Budget

    The mayor has just rolled out her final budget and it’s pretty painful. Jenny Reed walked us through the administration’s theory of the case — why they think it’s a good idea to make cuts TO day care and medical leave, and why it beats the alternative of raising more money through taxes.

    Why the Holocaust Museum Censored Itself Before Trump Even Asked

    We’re talking about another Trump-era controversy at a DC cultural institution — in this case, the Holocaust Museum, which last year yanked down content talking about the fragility of democracy and the ties between German Naziism and American Jim Crow. Unlike the blowups at the Kennedy Center, this happened quietly. And according to reporting from Irie Sentner at Politico, that’s because the museum didn’t even wait for the administration to ask — they just pulled down stuff that they thought might upset the president’s team. What happened? And what does this mean for other museums in our city? Irie is here to explain.  Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC.
