## Resource

We’re talking about OPPO-GATE, the baffling turn in the D.C. Congressional Delegate race, where candidate Brooke Pinto has inexplicably posted an entire dossier of dirt about her principal rival…. We’re looking at the plummeting numbers of new students entering DC Public Schools, and what that might say about where the city is headed… Also: There’s a state-fair-themed fair coming to the Mall as part of the America 250 celebrations. And in a member’s only fourth segment, some possibly hot takes about the state of our city. We’ll leave it to you to assess the hotness. Want some more DC news?
