Ed. Note: Wait till they hear about Casa Luca…
“Dear PoPville,
Which D.C. restaurants are popular with national politicians?
According to a investigative website, it’s these:
Charlie Palmer Steak
Joe’s Stone Crab
Bistro Bis
Casa Luca
Acqua Al 2
Fiola
Morton’s
Cap Grille”
Ed. Note two: A similar unofficial and unaffiliated study has revealed that Dan Silverman spent most at Blue 44, Nanny O’Briens, Vace, Soapstone Market, Raku and 2Amy’s. Just being honest, if I had my druthers it’d all go to Pho Viet, Himitsu and Sushi Taro. What have your studies revealed?
DC restaurants where members of Congress spent most from their leadership PACs (since 2013):
Charlie Palmer Steak $252k
Joe’s Stone Crab $192k
Bistro Bis $154k
Casa Luca $146k
Acqua Al 2 $136k
Fiola $114k
Morton’s $112k
Cap Grille $109khttps://t.co/mrn5zaToRE— Reid Wilson (@PoliticsReid) July 19, 2018

Thanks to all who messaged over the weekend. From ICE OUT of DC!! rally and community response:
“Today at 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
Columbia Heights Fountain, 14th St & Park Rd NW
Last week, ICE conducted at least three raids in Northwest DC, including an apartment raid in Mt. Pleasant/Columbia Heights where they indiscriminately arrested any undocumented folks they could find. ICE agents ultimately detained nine people, including those who live in the building **as well as passersby on 16th Street.** ICE also entered a private home near Georgia Avenue and detained two people, and detained a person having dinner on 14th Street, reportedly with collusion from DC police.
