About the D.C. Wire
The D.C. Wire is live! Washington Post reporters will take you to the heart of the District's political life, from neighborhoods to the D.C. Council to Mayor Adrian M. Fenty's bullpen. Politics is the thread running through everything in this town, whether it's the battle for a vote in Congress or a fight over the future of education reform. From new stadiums to mind-blowing tax scandals, to development and life east of the Anacostia, it all fits under our big umbrella.
And we can't do it without you. Join us in a conversation about life in the District in these most dynamic and urgent times. If you have an idea or a suggestion, please use the comment box at the end of each entry. And of course, we welcome (and appreciate) tips. We love tips.
