DC Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, 87, is the oldest member of the House. When I asked if she was up to the task of defending DC from a hostile GOP Congress, she refused an interview but replied in an email: "Watch me." So I did, and you can too: youtube.com/watch?v=EBFyMc…

Sports betting, the streetcar, the Wizards practice facility and on and on....ah, memories of the many punches thrown at me and hateful things said about me for opposing these boondoggles

This law is in place due to the efforts of Margaret O'Hora & colleagues who worked on the Council of DC Labor Committee, 2019-2022. As you can see by the numbers, this law helps working-class residents, not big-money C-suite executives. Proud to work with Margaret to put in place.

Kudos to Councilmember Matt Frumin for requesting data and analysis to make a tough decision. What I heard from his colleagues is that the data did not align with the industry’s narrative. Shouldn’t that make legislators ask what is really going on? Crazy-talk, I know!

Here's video of a D.C. councilmember questioning the high cost of the Ethel per unit, at min 24: video.oct.dc.gov/VOD/DCC/2019_1… Here's what Abundance bros don't get: Questioning these projects & their cost comes w tremendrous political cost to those who do it. wapo.st/43IzUY9

Washington Post Investigations Robert Samuels Lauren Lumpkin John D. Harden Once teens are arrested, Amy Brittain found, D.C. court officials rely on ankle monitors to keep track of them. But probation workers have repeatedly lost the youths at critical moments. The consequences can be deadly. washingtonpost.com/investigations…

If there were a real threat of Commanders going back to Maryland, this would be effective. But Josh Harris & Roger Goodell have made it clear they want to be at RFK. They are not moving to Ashburn either. So instead of playing hardball, compromising on timeline seems reasonable.

There is video. This is a complete fabrication. The only good thing about this is that it shows New Yorkers who is the most genuine, authentic fighter for working people and the rule of law. Please make Brad Lander your No. 1 choice for mayor.

More than 40 percent of New York City mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo’s top endorsements by elected officials have come from people who publicly condemned him four years ago, a POLITICO review found. politico.com/news/2025/06/1…

Good Ezra Klein column on NYC mayor's race. I have been thinking about how NYC race offers commentary on an upcoming DC mayor's race. I hope ranked choice will move Lander to the top. If Mamdani wins, I hope Lander plays a big role in his administration. nytimes.com/2025/06/18/opi…
