Yes. Saw the people out with posters warning them to turn around. Those people need to get some highlighted vest or some bigger posters.

Hey everyone, we noticed quite a few new followers who may not understand what Wash Probs is. We hope this helps. At our core, we are about laughs and great discussions.

Again, we post what we like and have been doing so since this was a Tumblr in 2012; shout out to y’all that are OG followers!

If you have a mean spirit, this is not the community for you. If you can’t find humor in everyday situations, this is not the community for you. If you don’t like news that’s reported about DC that’s reposted onto our accounts, this is not the community for you.

Instead of tearing us down if you haven’t seen a story posted, maybe try sending us a DM; we can’t be everywhere at all times.

ICYMI: “Students doing certain degrees may no longer receive the same amount of reimbursement for their studies now that the Department of Education is implementing various measures from President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.

One measure coming into action is that whether a degree is considered “professional” will influence how much reimbursement a student receives for their higher education.
However, there are a number of what many see as “professional” degrees missing from the new list, such a nursing, which sparked significant concern among nurses and nursing organizations.
Newsweek has contacted the Department of Education via email outside of regular hours for comment.

Why It Matters
The costs of doing a college degree are getting higher and higher—over the last 30 years the average tuition for both public and private colleges has doubled after adjusting for inflation, according to a report by NPR.
In just the last decade, costs of undergraduate tuition in public universities have also gone up by 30 percent, according to the University Herald, and some colleges were also set to bring in 4 percent cost hikes for this academic year as well.

This means that those doing high-costing degrees, who may no longer receive the same amount as their degree may not be deemed “professional,” could financially struggle to cover the costs—which could deter students from choosing to pursue those high-demand careers.

What To Know
Under the terms of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, the Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) will be brought in to replace previous programs.
This means that the Grad PLUS program, designed to help graduate and professional students cover educational expenses, will be scrapped while Parent PLUS loans, student loans available for parents of dependent undergraduate students, will be limited.”

Why would you want someone leading your country who lies to you daily and these lies negatively impact your life?

“D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) will not seek reelection, a seismic decision in Washington politics that will bring to a close more than a decade in leadership overseeing some of the city’s most booming times and also its most turbulent crises this century.

In an interview Monday night with The Washington Post, Bowser, 53, said that “we’ve accomplished what we set out to accomplish.” After securing one of her latest wins — a deal to build a new NFL stadium — she said she determined it was time to step aside.
“I think I had to answer the question, if I’m the only one that can do it. And no, I’m not the only one that could do it,” she said.

Bowser’s decision to step aside, announced publicly Tuesday, opens up what is bound to be a highly competitive mayor’s race at a high-stakes moment for the city, with President Donald Trump in the White House and an aggressive Republican-controlled Congress eager to impose its policy vision on the liberal city.

Bowser declined to say whether she will endorse a candidate to succeed her or what she plans to do when she leaves office in January 2027. “We will have other candidates that will have ideas about how to do it, and D.C. voters will pick the right one,” she said.
Her decision comes at a challenging time for the city, as further threats loom over its limited right to self-governance, and as the Trump administration’s mass layoffs of federal employees and a still-struggling downtown real estate market have created major economic woes for D.C.”
