Threatening DC because you do not like how our residents vote is an attack on democracy itself.
The people of DC elect the Mayor of DC. And they want someone who will stand up to Donald Trump.

Q: Here in Washington DC, there's a Democratic primary for mayor. One of the two leading candidates is running a Zohran Mamdani campaign focusing on socialist policies. How would you feel if she wins?
TRUMP: Maybe we take back Washington and run it on a federal basis. We won't put up with it.

I am happy to report that the congressional disapproval period for both of these laws expired today. The FAAR Act and Body Worn Camera Act are now law, and any disapproval resolution passed regarding the laws will no longer have any legal effect
NEWS: Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tennessee) is moving to repeal two bills passed by the D.C. Council that require more transparency from federal agents working with MPD. One allows for the release of body-camera footage from MPD when an agent shoots, another collects names of agents at arrest scenes.

Good morning! Rep. Scott Perry is continuing his personal vendetta against DC traffic laws, so Free DC is at yet another House Oversight markup today. This time he's aiming to ban congestion pricing, which isn't even a thing that exists here?

A few of the shackled people loaded at 1:00 pm here in Minnesota arrived in El Paso around 8:00 pm.
The local ERO drivers appeared to be fan-girling a bit, watching the Minnesota Wild, who were also at Signature, flown in by Delta.

Every right we have exists because people refused to stay quiet.
This week, the Senate decides whether D.C. gets respect, or more interference.
