Caps! To celebrate their 3-2 victory over Vegas, Dunkin Donuts is giving away free medium iced coffees to Washingtonians today.

(Remember, too, that there are still many road closures in preparation for the Caps’ homecoming.)

  • A federal study published this week indicates that D.C. students who use vouchers to attend private schools perform “significantly worse” in math than do their public school peers. U.S. Education SecretaryBetsy DeVos has long been a champion of school vouchers.
