Thank you to @chmnmendelson.bsky.social for being clear that the law enacting DC's Child Tax Credit that the Senate is CURRENTLY voting to "disapprove" of is ALREADY law! The Senate is too late. @51st.news @washingtoninformer.com @postguild.bsky.social
NEWS: the DC Council has proclaimed that the “D.C. Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025” is now officially law (L26-89), effective through Sept. 25, 2026! Regardless of how the Senate votes today, the 30-day review period ended Feb. 11!

The bill in the Senate this week that will attempt to interfere in DC's tax code is chaotic, bad, and should get voted down — but don't take our word for it.

Tomorrow the Senate is expected to vote on a bill aimed at interfering in DC's local tax code.
This move would thrust DC into financial chaos, hurting families and helping an administration that we know thrives on confusion and fear.

Okay, there are still great reporters at the #BezosIsALackey Post, writing important pieces about how the Senate is voting early NEXT WEEK to overturn DC's tax law AFTER people have already started filing, to give people who earn >$1.3M a break. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
House rejects D.C. tax changes, potentially costing the city $600M in revenue
GOP proponents say they want to preserve tax cuts for residents and businesses. D.C. officials say the move would produce fiscal chaos.

Journalists have critical skills we need! BUT don't blame "people" and "consumers" for this loss. Bezos killed the Post by: deciding not to pay its workers, offending readers by running his personal opinions, & hiring management that hates reporters. "Consumers" aren't the problem; billionaires are.
this. a lot of people don't get how difficult good reporting is, especially investigative journalism. it takes years of practice to build up the necessary skillset, and it often requires supporting infrastructure. yet the pay for 99% of reporters out there is abysmal
journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

I was the Banksy version of the sandwich guy for Halloween, so I now feel especially connected to this folk hero and appreciative of his lawyer's puns. Also, this entire thread is hilarious. #FreeDC
Agent Lairmore is done with his testimony. Prosecution asked further about the condiments and he said there was mustard on his uniform and an onion hanging on his radio antenna. Don’t think defense was going for a pun when she called him a “seasoned officer,” but you never know…

Very few people are on BlueSky to see Stephen Miller, who runs the DC Task Force, admitting that this regime thinks they have total power. If you want a say in your future, or a say in anything at all, start pulling the rug out from under this regime today if you haven't already. #FreeDC
Seriously, watch this. Descriptions won’t do it justice. There’s no technical difficulty.
The amazing pause here from Miller is him realizing he said the quiet part out loud (probably a few months early) and then freezing like a possum in the face of a coyote or something as a defensive measure.

Not Stephen Miller accidentally outting the regime in an interview. Let that "plenary authority" claim slip right out and then had to act like the audio cut out.
Sir! We heard you.. and the President does NOT have plenary authority.
