Arlington GOP Stands With Reid — “The Governor called John Reid after allegations were brought to his attention about a concerning web presence. It is appropriate for the Governor to make that call and to have a frank conversation with a candidate about an issue — any issue — he sees as potentially problematic on the campaign trail. What is not appropriate is an unelected, unaccountable consultant leaking the details of that call to the press to gin up a scandal.” [Arlington GOP, Daily Mail]
‘Kids on Bikes’ Cause Mayhem — “It’s kids on bikes time: With the warmer weather, @ArlingtonVaPD officers are dealing with groups of young teens on bicycles connected to some low-level criminal activity. ACPD chased a group on Friday along S. Hayes and S. 12th (video 1) after a man who apparently tried to stop some harassment was pepper sprayed.” [Dave Statter/X]
Video: Smoking School Bus — “Along Route 50 from Rosslyn to Arlington Forest a private school bus belching smoke caught the attention of a lot of drivers and police a short time ago.

Park and got the kids off the bus. @ArlingtonVaFD confirmed it was a mechanical issue with no fire.” [Dave Statter/X]
Connelly’s Cancer Has Returned — “Rep. Gerry Connolly, who has represented Virginia’s 11th district for nearly 20 years, will not seek another term in Congress, he announced today (Monday). The 75-year-old congressman, who was diagnosed with esophageal cancer late last year, has seen a re-emergence of the illness, according to a statement.” [FFXnow, Rep. Don Beyer/X]
ACPD Announces Awards — “On Friday, the Arlington County Police Department came together to celebrate the extraordinary dedication, service and achievements of our sworn and professional staff at our annual Departmental Awards Ceremony.

Nearby: Pricy Starter Homes — “Great Falls is one of 233 communities nationwide where the value of a typical “starter home” now tops $1 million, according to a new Zillow analysis. At just over $1.2 million, the typical value of a Great Falls starter home is six times the national average. Great Falls is the lone Virginia community to make the 2025 list.” [FFXnow]
Debanking Task Force Formed — “The Task Force will investigate allegations of “debanking,” when banks refuse customers access to credit and other financial services based on impermissible factors under current federal and state law. This initiative will address allegations of debanking in the Commonwealth of Virginia by investigating allegations of debanking actions taken against Virginians, and if appropriate, seeking civil relief against banking institutions in federal or state court.” [DOJ]
