I saw that Capitol Jill Baking is sold out of cinnamon rolls for Christmas (my brilliant idea came too late!). Does anyone else on the Hill do them?
An earlier post showing an email from JOMDC shared incorrect information despite having been sent through JOM communication channels. A board member to whom we reached out says, "the Board has been actively working to negotiate terms that would allow us to continue through the Fall Term and regroup, but this premature communication unfortunately negatively impacts those efforts. Our apologies for any confusion this may have caused to families but the info is not correct." More information coming soon.

Governor Patrick Morrisey @wvgovernor 9 .. We are now receiving conflicting reports about the condition of our two Guard members and will provide additional updates once we receive more complete information. Our prayers are with these brave service members, their families, and the entire Guard community.
Governor Patrick Morrisey Releases Statement Following Attack of Two Members of the West Virginia National Guard in D.C. "Denise and I are devastated by the news that two members of the West Virginia National Guard were shot earlier today in Washington, DC," said Governor Morrisey. "According to reports, both members did not survive. We are in direct contact with our Guard and other officials and are working to obtain the most accurate information as quickly as possible." "Our prayers are with these brave service members, their families, and the extraordinary men and women of our Guard who put themselves on the line every day. West Virginia stands united behind them. We will do everything in our power to support their families as they endure this unimaginable loss and will not rest until justice is served."
Cuneyt Dil @cuneytdil X.com Kenyan McDuffie is 100% running for D.C. mayor, those close to him say, now that Mayor Muriel Bowser won't seek re-election. A mayoral race is shaping up between McDuffie, more of a business-friendly candidate, vs. Janeese Lewis George, a democratic socialist.
Mayor Muriel Bowser: It has been the honor of my life to be your Mayor. Together, we have built a legacy of success of which I am intensely proud. With a grateful heart, I am announcing that I will not seek a fourth term. For the next 12 months, let's run through the tape and keep winning for DC.
