The weather radar showed a break in the rain that would allow me to bike to work and remain completely dry. The weather radar was grossly inaccurate.

We will need to spend so much time, money, and effort to cleanse our city-state & country of the stench and stains this dude is leaving. We will rebuild, recover, and renew, but damn he gets more awful by the day. Haven't even finished year one...sigh.

If you’re running to be DC’s delegate to Congress & you’re not talking about statehood, you’re doing it wrong. I thought we were done with tiptoeing around the word, but here we are. Sigh. #DCStatehood

The candidate list for the DC Council At-Large seat is going to look like a CVS receipt. Voters have work to do.

There's a lot going on but don't lose focus of the fact that our President and Defense Secretary are ordering & carrying out the extra-judicial killings of dozens of people on the open sea. Not charges. No evidence. No trials. No convictions. It's dangerous, immoral, illegal, & unconstitutional.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

I know: he’s a racist authoritarian who’s running a militantly racist government constantly doing and saying racist things, carrying out a highly militarized campaign of ethnic cleansing and also doing anti diversity crackdown all over the place. And yet…his racist rhetoric IS getting worse, somehow
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

#DCStatehood is morally just, constitutionally sound, the democratic thing to, and…
Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

Get me a mayor whose achievements are making DC more equitable, affordable, inclusive, safe, & just. A mayor who can say all public schools improved. A mayor who can demonstrate historic environmental protections & investments. Get me a mayor who we end up calling Governor. #DCStatehood
Muriel Bowser, who helped make DC the vibrant city it is, kept the Capitals and Wizards from leaving, lured back the Commanders, navigated Trump's attacks and offered steady leadership in turbulent times, opts not to run for a fourth term. @campbellnyt.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/u...

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.

This isn’t controversial.

A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

BREAKING: Judge Cobb rules that the Pentagon's National Guard deployment into D.C. was illegal.

However, she has stayed the effect of her order until Dec. 11 to prevent disorder while the matter is under appeal.

How about you say the words “I support #DCStatehood?”

Otherwise, take a hike! @captmarkkelly.bsky.social

Can't wait to see the WaPo Editorial Board try to gloss over this...the man has no morals.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

This should be front page news on every outlet, but it isn't even covered by most. This sexist racist immoral human being gets a free pass from the cowardly corporate media who are afraid of being sued & worried about losing access.
BLOOMBERG REPORTER: “If there’s nothing incriminating in the Epstein files why not…?”

TRUMP: “Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.” 😕

Based on everything we now know and know from the past, any other politician would be done for. They would be forced to resign in shame. This guy and his followers have no shame, no sense of decency, and no allegiance to basic morals. They will make excuses and move of as if nothing has happened.

Okay, WAPO is finally on it.
As of 9:30am the NYTimes, Wall Street Journal, & Politico all have front page stories on Trump's links to Epstein. Nothing on the Washington Post. Bezos working overtime for his boy.
