The District of Columbia is under attack today — not from violent gangs or thieves, but by the President of the United States.
The President's weaponization of the Home Rule Act is a direct attack on the 700,000 residents of DC and we will not stand for it.

The President taking over local control of MPD & putting the US military onto the streets of DC under the guise of public safety is wrong. It’s an extreme, outrageous, and dangerous move for our city and the safety of all our residents.

This is happening with such ease because everyone has just accepted DC being a colony.
There was a trifecta where we could have gotten statehood. And now here we are.

The Senate passed a tiny, logistical fix for DC’s budget and President Trump endorsed it.
Now the House is ignoring it, wrecking DC’s finances out of pure apathy.
It’s unacceptable. The House must act.
