Hey, neighbor. My potty princesses and lactose-intolerant baddies will be excited to check out this master list of D.C.’s public restrooms on Reddit. Notes on cleanliness and smell included 💅 🧻

What's CITY Talking About?
DC Council Reaches RFK Agreement
D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson reportedly reached an agreement with the Commanders on terms for the new RFK stadium. This could mean a council vote as early as next week, rather than in September as Mendelson previously forecasted. [City Cast DC 🎧]
Rise In Noncriminal ICE Arrests
New data shows a jump in ICE arrests in the DMV of people without criminal charges. In June, 60% of local immigration arrests were people without criminal convictions. [Axios]
‘Missing Middle’ Bill Finally Passes
Montgomery County passed its controversial “missing middle” housing bill, which will allow multi-unit homes in certain lots that were previously zoned for single-family homes. The change is good for accessible housing, but some residents worry it will change the character of the neighborhood. [Washington Post 🔒]
Logan Circle Arrests
A viral video of four people being arrested by U.S. Park Police in Logan Circle for open containers and cannabis caused local outrage. The arrests, technically on federal land, were part of President Trump's "beautification" agenda per Park Police. [TikTok/WUSA9]
