Cherry blossoms continue! 🌸 Framed by these delicate flowers, the Jefferson Memorial casts a picturesque reflection on the water of the Tidal Basin. Dedicated in 1943 by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the architecture of this marble memorial is on full display with its many columns and domed roof. While appreciating the various views, be prepared for crowds and please do not damage these gifts of goodwill. Photo at the National Mall and Memorial Parks courtesy of Jarrett Hendrix.

Activists at the U.S. Capitol protesting proposed cuts in Social Security benefits known as the “chained CPI.” The proposal would reduce the cost-of-living adjustment seniors receive. Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus spoke in opposition to the proposal, which surfaces as Washington elected officials look for a “grand bargain” that could end the government shutdown standoff.
