An interesting fact: D.C. has already received 18,000 individual tax returns and 300 corporate returns. The Republican resolution repealing the city's tax law passed the House today, and if it passes the Senate and is signed by the president, many of those returns will have to be redone.
A Republican-led resolution could trigger tax season chaos, potentially pushing D.C.'s filing deadlines into the fall, depriving the city of almost $700 million in revenue, and eliminating tax credits for low-income residents. 51st.news/republican-b...

@erinbiba.bsky.social what does fact book checking cost?
I am trying to write a business plan for producing a portfolio of books, ( which apparently requires founding 2 publishers to do it properly in GOP dominated media world).
I need some sense of what book fact checking part costs.

These 28 Democrats joined House Republicans in voting to repeal DC's law to effectively abolish cash bail.
Why do they think they should have more of a say than DC residents?
Why do they want to enable Trump's fascism?
Why are they so blatantly racist?

Quite the pre-Thanksgiving news: Mayor Muriel Bowser will not seek a fourth term in office. That's a huge opening a mayoral race that still doesn't have any major candidates in it, but with possible entries from Ward 4 Councilmember Janeese Lewis George and At-Large Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie.

There is not much DC Government or DC citizens are actually willing to do to go after GOP candidates with JimCrow/KKK records, so these meetings don’t really matter.
