People are being forced out of DC. The cost of living is too high, and Trump is waging an all-out assault on the District.
It should be easier and more affordable to build a life here.
That's why I’m running for DC Council in Ward 1.

Trump hasn’t “chickened out” on his tariffs. He is — at this very second — inflicting great harm on American workers, families and the entire U.S. economy.

Opinion | ‘Trump always chickens out’ is the exact wrong message for Democrats
Trolling Trump on trade policy with “TACO” feels vindicating for Democrats, but it’s helping him.

there's a distinct information quality asymmetry. it's much, much easier to churn out easily digestible disinformation than it is to research and create something that strives toward truth.
Hopefully clear to folks by now that the online media asymmetry isn't tenable. Still wondering how it came about in the first place, though. We're not exactly short of underemployed left-leaning people in the entertainment industry!
not ideal that a big chunk of the most prominent lefty voices online are youtubers who post like once every 6-18 months www.mediamatters.org/google/right...

ICE went to the home of a 61-year-old man with poor health and after his family informed ICE agents that they needed a warrant signed by a judge, dozens of ICE agents instead showed up in an armored vehicle with a battering ram and flash grenades and took him by force.

as an aside, it’s funny that there are so many cops and buyers who are just gun collecting. for people who are planning for the end times it seems unwise to live on a lightly defended weapons cache.
"If I'm guilty of this, every cop in the nation's going to jail," Wendt told CBS News just days before a federal judge sentenced him to a 5-year prison term. Wendt's crimes appear to be part of a nationwide pattern."
But that's the OPPOSITE of what they're supposed to do!! How could this BE??
