when someone asks, “how is living in DC with the new administration’s changes?”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "This is not America. This is a terrible nightmare. Somebody slap me and wake me the f*ck up because I'm ready to get on with it." Jasmine is all of us.

Here’s CM Charles Allen's full statement after the Senate’s vote to prevent a government shutdown. While the Senate didn’t amend the House’s resolution to restore DC’s budget, it did pass a separate bill reversing the $1.1 billion cut to local funds, sending it back to the House.

If the bill doesn’t pass, Congress’s restrictions could slash funding for schools by $345M, police and fire by $133M, WMATA by $210M, and more. DC deserves control over its own budget.
