There doesn't seem to be much love in the air in Washington these days, as a long and bitter government shutdown drags on with no end in sight. But couples whose marriage plans were thwarted by the partial shutdown have gotten a break, thanks to the action of Mayor Muriel Bowser and city council.

A 74-year-old man was found alive Monday five days after a fire swept his retirement community building in Washington, Mayor Muriel Bowser said.

Washington, DC, will end its snow emergency on Wednesday, Mayor Muriel Bowser said in a sign that the US capital is returning to normal after a deadly weekend blizzard on the US East Coast.

A woman died and dozens of people were injured after thick smoke filled a subway tunnel in the US capital Monday during the evening rush, officials said.
