## Resource

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?
