WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — District agencies are responding to a mayoral order that freezes hiring and spending by government employees. The order came down on Tuesday, as Mayor Muriel Bowser tries to fill a $1 billion budget gap. The gap was created after Congress passed a spending plan last month that reverted D.C. to its 2024 spending levels, despite Congress having already approved the 2025 budget.

WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — D.C. will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Emancipation Day holiday this weekend. President Abraham Lincoln signed the D.C. Compensated Emancipation Act into law on April 16, 1862, freeing 3,100 enslaved people in the District and compensating their owners. The move came nine months before the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. In 2005, the D.C. Council officially designated the day as a local holiday.
