Congress is pushing back hard on two D.C. bills and many local leaders are … letting them? City Cast DC Contributor Dan Reed and Lead Producer Priyanka Tilve join the show to talk about this wrinkle in the fight for statehood. We’re also talking about the best apps for tracking metro and Logic’s new rap album, which is an homage to the DMV.

As always, our roundups are powered by stellar local reporting:

Josh Jacobson’s Twitter spat with Sen. Michael Brown.
Jordan Pascale’s eulogy for MetroHero at DCist.
Logic breaks down the trailer for his new album, College Park.
