DC laws should not be written by people who don't know how DC actually works.
The House member who wants to let Trump appoint D.C.'s attorney general (currently elected by residents) mistakenly says it was the city's AG who didn't prosecute two-thirds of arrests in D.C. That was actually the U.S. Attorney for D.C. – who *is* appointed by the president.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.
Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭
It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

In a not too distant future people will be asking who and what pushed Colombia into China’s arms. Looking like another self-inflicted wound from our side. Thank God there was a robust policy discussion beforehand in our national security community (sarcasm alert)

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

In November, one of my son’s daycare teachers was struck by a driver of a truck as she crossed the street. The driver didn’t stop at the 🛑.
Perhaps more infuriatingly, the city of Hyattsville had recently re-designed the intersection & identified the need for a crosswalk but didn’t install one. 🧵
