On This Day in Alexandria History — “On Dec. 16, 1766, George Washington was elected a Trustee of the Town of Alexandria. At the time, Washington was a young man of 34 years, but double the age he was when he first help lay out the plan for the city in 1749. Married and owner of the Mount Vernon estate by 1766, Washington was an established and socially prominent planter in Fairfax County, and on paper one of Virginia’s wealthiest citizens. But recognizing the importance of diversification, that year he started switching Mount Vernon’s main cash crop away from the exportation of tobacco to Britain to the production of wheat and other grain crops that could be grown, milled and sold within the American colonies.” [Historic Alexandria]

Beyer Condemns Trump’s AI Order — “President Trump’s AI order is an attempt to kill responsible safety reforms passed by states, which would create a lawless Wild West environment for AI companies that puts Americans at risk.
