  1. CW: Photograph of a shark swimming peacefully

    I was lucky enough to get to go to the aquarium recently and got to take lots of fun photos while I was there. This is one of my favorites 😄 #amatuerPhotography #amatuerPhotographer #shark #sharks #aquarium #StLouis #StLouisAquarium #UnionStation

  2. #POTUS is at an event at #UnionStation, so #WMATA trains are skipping the station. #MARC and #VRE will be delayed too.

  6. #TorontoON - Sheltering from the storm: how homeless Torontonians turned to #UnionStation as #WarmingCentres filled

    While centres save lives, advocates say, Toronto’s winter shelter response is still leaving residents in the cold.

    By Victoria Gibson, Jan. 17, 2026

    Excerpt: "In winter, the city expands its shelter system — squeezing additional beds into existing shelters, opening up warming centres once temperatures plunge below -5 C, and letting people shelter in contingency spaces such as shelter meeting rooms once temperatures reach -15 C.

    "These sites save lives, says Cathy Crowe, a longtime street nurse and homeless advocate in Toronto. But as those facilities, too, are often at or beyond capacity — and people continue to seek refuge in public spaces like transit stations — she sees a city continually unprepared for extreme weather, with safety nets like the shelter system still unable to catch everyone in need.

    [...]

    "[Unhoused person, Douglas Watt] sees the #CostOfLiving, and #housing, as another major force. 'It’s hard for people to live, and keep up,' he said, noting he relied on disability supports that don’t offer much to cover expenses.

    "He used to live with family members outside the GTA, but said they were facing health battles and he didn’t want to add to their stress. So he made the choice to leave without a place to land.

    "One shelter in Halton turned him away for lack of room, he said. Some nights, he sleeps at GO stations in Burlington and Oakville. Asked if he’d looked for shelter in Toronto, Watt said he worried about having his possessions stolen.

    " 'I’ll be honest with you, shelters are even worse than being on the streets sometimes,' he said."

  8. The #Toronto #UnionStation food court is 😍 Just had a black bean plantain arepas, a pork belly bao, and an Egyptian grilled chicken sandwich.

    It's going to take some effort to get this pistachio cream pastry down.

  9. The #Transportation Secy claimed #UnionStation, located within walking distance of the US Capitol, had “fallen into disrepair” when it should be a “point of pride” for the city.

    #Trump said last week he wants $2 billion from #Congress to *beautify* #Washington as part of his *crackdown* on the city. Trump has sent thousands of #NationalGuard #troops & federal LEOs into Washington in a bid to fight *violent crime* he claimed had strangled the city.

  10. #Trump extends federal #takeover of #DC

    #Transportation Secy Sean Duffy announced Wednesday that his department is taking management of #UnionStation, the main transportation hub in #Washington, away from #Amtrak, in another example of how the #FederalGovernment is exerting its #power over the nation’s capital.
