Sure, Congress can take your local vote, grind it into a fine powder and blow it into the wind, but you can also get some free chicken today, so there’s that.

Nando’s Peri-Peri on 18th Street NW in Dupont Circle will giveaway free chicken meals between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Here’s the fine print: “One free 1/4 chicken, chicken sandwich, or pita per person, on a first-come-first-served basis, eat-in only. You need to pay for any extras, including sides or drinks.” Seating is limited.
