So, no language to hire back all the federal workers Trump fired in the months prior to the shutdown, and just a promise to hold a doomed vote on Obamacare subsidies. What was the point of it all then? So many federal workers were furloughed for so long for nothing? www.cnn.com/2025/11/09/p...
Senators near deal to reopen government as key Democrats signal willingness to back plan | CNN Politics
The emerging deal would include a stopgap measure to extend government funding until January and be tied to a larger package to fully fund several key agencies.

Let's not miss this great result just outside DC. The voters overwhelmingly said YES to proportional ranked choice voting in Greenbelt, which will allow for greater minority representation on the Council and end vote splitting. Another DC-area jurisdiction switching to RCV!

On this, I'll agree with President Trump: If Congress eliminates the filibuster, DC statehood is inevitable
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

A shout out to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, who was willing to take on the rich and powerful, who was relentlessly attacked by people who couldn't handle an elected official of a different faith, and who still ran a hopeful and unifying campaign, for being elected the Mayor of New York City

Celebrating with re-elected Arlington County Board Chair @takiskarantonis.bsky.social! What great results in Virginia and across the country. This country is sick and tired of MAGA extremism—tonight is the first step in fighting back for our rights in DC and across the country

Out at the polls today supporting @arlingtondems.bsky.social. What happens to one of us in the DMV affects all of us, so we have to stick together. Let’s hope for a blue wave and a state government that is more willing to work with DC to advance our shared interests!

Out knocking on doors for the Democratic ticket in Virginia today. What happens to one part of the DMV impacts all of us, so we all have to stick together. I’m hopeful we’ll see Virginia turn blue on Tuesday!

The pain and fear I have heard from the immigrant community since the ICE surge into DC has been heartbreaking. Unfortunately, it now appears our own police force is supporting the Trump Administration's attacks on immigrants in DC. It needs to stop
Today we heard poignant & powerful testimony from residents about their experiences with DC government coordination with federal agencies. We will continue to accept written testimony until Nov 28 at 5:30 pm: lims.dccouncil.gov/Hearings/hea...

We have been told that the National Guard deployment in DC will cost the federal government $201 MILLION through the end of this calendar year. If the Guard is really staying through the America 250 celebration, the total cost to the taxpayers could easily top half a billion

Republicans are currently trying to gerrymander their way to a permanent House majority. The good news is that in two states where they are trying this, the people can gather signatures to put a "veto referendum" on the ballot to allow the public to stop the GOP gerrymanders

@ward3democrats.bsky.social have passed a resolution calling for strong coordination between all of DC's Home Rule advocates and for increased funding for the offices of DC's U.S. Senators and Representative. I agree. Increased funding and coordination would improve our advocacy on Capitol Hill

1/3 On Tuesday, the US Senate Committee on the Judiciary held a hearing on ~cHaoS AnD tRAGedY~ in blue cities, acusing the "Far-Left" of being soft on crime. The MAGA administration is using Washington, DC as testing ground for its #AuthoritarianAgenda with the support of Senate Republicans.

Another busy day meeting with Senate offices and asking Dems to hold the line against the DC Trump takeover bills. One staffer told us our advocacy on these bills has been miles better than our advocacy on the Criminal Code Reform. I will continue to advocate aggressively for DC

Troops sent into Portland and Memphis. A Senate hearing on "Blue city tragedy and chaos." Several House Democrats supporting Trump's takeover of DC has made the GOP think this is a winning political issue. If Senate Dems acquiesce too, all gloves will come off www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
Trump says he is authorizing military to use ‘Full Force’ in Portland
The president wrote on Truth Social that he is directing the Defense Department to send troops to Oregon.

We are so grateful for our regional allies standing up for DC (and their constituents who work here) as Republicans in Congress try to move forward bills advancing the Trump takeover of our city. Thank you Congressman Subramanyam!
Deploying the National Guard is a waste of taxpayer dollars, all for a political stunt. Want to reduce crime? Fund DC and support crime reduction programs, not militarizing the city.

“I am for D.C. home rule. I would like for D.C. to become a state … but I’m a prosecutor. I believe that everybody’s entitled to live in a safe community,” said Rep. Eugene Vindman, a Virginia Democrat who voted in favor of three of the bills.
