This is THE slippery slope.

Plus the following clip in this thread by @atrupar.com where Chairman Comer puts it in an explicitly partisan and ideological frame, saying: "I think this is an experiment that's probably needed in a lot of the Democrat-run cities in America."
Comer: "We're gonna support doing this in other cities if it works out in Washington DC. We spend a lot on our military. Our military has been in many countries around the world for the past two decades walking the streets trying to reduce crime. We need to focus on the big cities in America now."

A lot to be frustrated about in American public policy these days, but Seattle’s investment in reliable light rail system is a glimmer of hope!

On our way to Pittsburgh for a bike trip and joked that a town we went through looked like that “European mind can’t comprehend this” meme. Turns out it was the actual town.

Thousands showing up and supporting US foreign aid and it’s global importance.

Don’t let them erase USAID. We have to fight back. If we don’t take a stand, other agencies will fall.

Fire President Musk. Save USAID!

*richest man on earth illegally seizes control of government funding and starts shutting off money at random, while president declares economic war on Canada and declares he's going to illegally abolish various agencies and civil rights*

Democrats (crying, wringing hands): "but what's our MESSAGE"

If Biden was in charge there would be wall to wall coverage about how he killed 67 people. Instead we get “don’t politicize” as Trump tweets like a drunk uncle analyzing it, not as the President (who has crippled the federal government and its regulatory authority to prevent events like this).

People will die. Diseases will flourish. US influence will decline. Our adversaries win. The average citizens of the world lose. This is shocking, and to turn off all foreign aid (-Israel/Egypt) is damning. These people are evil. And are doing harm that can’t be undone.
State Department issues immediate, widespread pause on foreign aid
The “stop-work orders” appear to apply to US aid for all countries except Israel and Egypt.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

Democrats should push a resolution that bans members of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District from using any Capitol Complex restrooms. I’m so serious. This bigotry needs to be called out.

Need to find more #urbanist and #biking follows, so we can commiserate over things like this!

A wonderful morning ride around #DC until I came face to face with a mindless driver in one of DC’s busiest bike lanes…
