Security cameras are just about everywhere in D.C., except post offices. After a woman was shot Monday at a post office in Brentwood, a D.C. lawmaker wants to make them safer.D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton is introducing legislation that will fund installing security cameras at every post office in the U.S.After a D.C. resident was robbed at a post office last year, Norton said she floated the idea with the Postal Service and found that the budget for the project made it unlikely.“The parking lot was not monitored by a security camera.

This bill authorizes appropriations for security cameras at postal facilities,” Norton said in a statement.This comes a day after police arrested postal worker Davida Johnson, 25, of Southeast D.C., for allegedly shooting a woman during a verbal altercation at the post office on Brentwood Road NE.She is facing charges of assaul...

A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that the Environmental Protection Agency must regulate perchlorate, reversing a Trump-era rollback on a drinking water contaminant linked to brain damage in infants.A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled unanimously in an appeal brought by the Natural Resources Defense Council last year after the EPA, under the Biden administration, stood by the rollback. Two judges wrote that the EPA had no authority to withdraw from a 2011 determination that perchlorate should be regulated.Circuit Judge Florence Pan, in a concurring opinion, went further. She called the EPA’s decision not to regulate perchlorate “arbitrary” and “capricious” and rejected the agency’s assertion that perchlorate was occurring at lower levels than previously thought. That assertion relied on a ”biased dataset that was selectively updated,” wrote Pan, who was appointed by President Joe Biden last year.The EP...
