Asters are the birth month flower for September.

Daffodils are the birth month flower for March.

Important message from @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social (shared with Alt Text).

#HandsOffDC #DCHomeRule
Screenshot of Tweet from AG Brian Schwalb @DCAttorneyGen Violent crime in DC reached a 30-year low last year and continues to decline. Family homelessness is down over 50% in the past decade. Our budget is balanced, our economy is growing, our small business community is thriving, and we are one of the most visited places in the country. A federal takeover of DC would violate the fundamental principle of self-governance on which this nation was founded. We will defend the rule of law, Home Rule, and the right to govern ourselves.
