According to a post on Reddit, a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle t-boned a car in Capitol Hill this morning. Firefighters reportedly used the jaws of life to free the driver, who DC Fire & EMS said sustained only minor injuries.

The economic fallout for DC from the federal takeover continues with more evidence that far from keeping residents safe, people are staying home while armed National Guard troops and federal agents are on the streets.

Today, on Labor Day, we stand in solidarity with all DC workers, no matter where they were born. Immigrants are a critical part of DC's workforce and no one should live in fear that they will be targeted for deportation at their job. loom.ly/kCuv1XU

More than 100 progressive groups, churches, and unions are calling on Mayor Muriel Bowser to push back on Trump's federal surge in D.C. "History is calling upon you to lead... not to cower in the face of an authoritarian who does not have our best interests in mind," they write.

We are proud to have signed on to this letter, along with so many of our partners, calling on Mayor Bowser to defend the autonomy of DC

Mayor Bowser's economic growth strategy has failed to reduce poverty. New Census data show an increase in DC's poverty rate to 17.3% in 2024 (from 14%) and a continued extreme racial income gap with Black DC residents having just 1/3 the median household income of white residents

For as much as some members of Congress say the D.C. government is dysfunctional and should be disbanded, it's worth noting that the D.C. government will open and operate normally tomorrow because elected officials can do stuff like, you know, pass annual budgets.

The forecast offers good news: DC isn't facing budget deficit, as revenue is ticking up compared to June. The report also signals a new urgency--DC must act quickly to pass tax changes to save $658M due to reckless federal tax cuts that will flow into DC's tax code automatically.

The economy is benefitting the elite the most: corporate profits & non-wage income like capital gains are the biggest drivers of the revenue bump. Yet, the Mayor's statement doubles down on a disproven “growth” agenda w/no mention of struggling residents.
