Senate Rejection, Dress Codes in Bars, and Weekend Events

The biggest local news in a long time, the Congressional vote to overturn a DC bill for the first time in decades. City Cast DC producer Julia Karron and newsletter editor Kaela Cote-Stemmerman are here break down what it means and what happens now. Plus, we’re talking about the weird trend of dress codes for D.C. bars, and Kaela’s going to tap her newsletter knowledge to tell us about the best of weekend events.  We couldn’t do our news roundups without the stellar reporting of D.C.’s local journalists: Jenna Portnoy, Ellie Silverman and Meagan Flynn of the Washington Post break down the Senate vote. Amanda Gomez of DCist explains the dress code fiasco at Bunker Bar. Subscribe to our newsletter, Hey DC, for more fun weekend events!
