Since the GOP seems more concerned with pleasing the White House and the affairs of D.C. than their own districts, they should run for Mayor in D.C. Until then, hands off! #FreeDC

Trump’s attacks on free speech are scary, and what’s even scarier is lots of institutions are inclined to surrender preemptively rather than fight in court against abuses of power.
