It’s Hump Day, D.C. That calls for a beverage, and a cheap one.

LEADING THE MORNING NEWS:

• St. Elizabeths Hospital is illegally locking psychiatric patients in solitary confinement for weeks on end.

• The D.C. sports gambling contract is riddled with politically connected subcontractors who will get a piece of the $215 million.

• Criminal justice reformer Parisa Dehghani-Taftidefeated incumbent prosecutorTheo Stamos in Virginia’s primary election yesterday. The race for commonwealth’s attorney for Arlington and Falls Church was an unusually heated and expensive one.

• An employee of a public school contractor is accused of kissing and inappropriately touching a 13-year-old student. The male employee was fired, and DC Public Schools suspended the contractor’s services, which provides before- and after-school care.

• The provision that has prevented D.C. from legalizing recreational marijuana was removed from a spending bill that passed out of a key congressional committee yesterday. Rep. Andy Harris, who typically championed the anti-marijuana provision, instead proposed a rider that would prevent D.C. from decriminalizing sex work. He failed.

• A new weekly paper sprung up in Northwest D.C. The Northwest Courier is looking to pick up where the shuttered Current Newspapers left off.
