This week marks 25 years since the September 11th terrorist attacks: We talk about how that day changed the District. We also talk about Lonnie Bunch’s retirement, what Trump’s war on the Smithsonian means for D.C., and we preview Councilmember Trayon White’s bribery trial as jury selection kicks off today.Plus, in a members-only fourth segment, we take a look at D.C.’s ongoing efforts to fight the rat problem, from special trash cans to birth control and poison.
