Tax flight is a myth, and Massachusetts adds even more evidence to the large body of research showing that. loom.ly/G5HytG4

No, this doesn’t make any sense. DC prohibited city contractors from giving political $ to the same people that approve their contracts for a reason. Allowing contractors to bundle cash is bad for our government & bad for our politics. I don’t support this roll back.

They lynched us and went to church the next day

Mamdani presents such a riddle to centrist Dems because they've spent so much time accusing the left of focusing too much on like trans rights or DEI and not enough on the economy but now that a socialist beat one of their own on affordability they have to say "no not like that"

These allegations are horrific. If this was an American prison it would violate the 8th Amendment. This is absolutely cruel and unusual punishment. Nobody should try to rationalize or justify this kind of treatment.

My statement

Or in my lifetime, and I'm more than twice as old as Dylan.

Today, Congress gave final approval to a federal budget bill that makes historic cuts to social safety net programs, funnels unprecedented resources into mass deportation, and gives trillions in tax cuts largely to the wealthy. Our full statement: loom.ly/FHegKU0

Israel has killed more than two healthcare workers per day in Gaza since October 2023. Over 1400 healthcare workers have been killed by Israel. Not a war, it’s a genocide.

*taps the sign* 30% of American jobs do not offer health benefits, and 49% of employed workers can't afford healthcare without going into debt. Every American is a vulnerable American when healthcare is restricted, tied to employment, and for-profit.

We mourn the passing of David Schwartzman, a Howard U professor, DC Statehood Green leader, and steadfast Ward 8 Woods ally. Just days before his death, he spoke out at Council against budget cuts and for progressive taxation. May his legacy fuel future struggles.

Keeping pro-I82 workers out of this meeting so the message can be "clear" is typical Bowser bs

Pub restrooms are a Council priority. I was proud to initiate the Thrones pilot last year & will fight to keep them. In fact, my colleagues and I added funding for the existing 6 plus 4 new public restrooms starting in October and anticipate the Council will approve.

BREAKING: IRS announces exemption to 1954 ban on 501(c)3 orgs engaging in political activity—now allows churches & houses of worship to endorse political candidates. The wall separating religion & state is collapsed. It is not hyperbole to state that we are on the footsteps of

There is enough money in the budget to give a former public official who absolutely obliterated the public trust a cushy job? Huh.

What if those who’ve been dismissed - the poor & the immigrant, the sick & the hungry - joined together to say, “We can’t just sit here & die!”? Register now to join a Moral Monday delegation July 14 to visit your member of Congress across the South: breachrepairers.org/get-involved/e…

We know the solution to street homelessness and encampments is housing, not displacement. So why is there money for evicting people from encampments but not money for housing those same people? Phil Mendelson Councilmember Matt Frumin The Way Home DC

Truly astounded by Mayor Muriel Bowser's comments. The social safety net isn’t designed to get more people moving here, more tourists, or more jobs. It’s about meeting basic human needs in a city with extreme racial inequity and a high cost of living. washingtonian.com/2025/07/08/int… 1/

The vile way in which our mayor belittles and treats the least among us is truly shameful. Her remarks and approach to policymaking over the last months have been abhorrent.
