Hey quick question… wtf?
D.C. Mayor Bowser issued an executive order that would welcome federal law enforcement officials to stay in the city indefinitely, an indication of her willingness to cooperate with President Trump’s effort to take over public safety in the District. https://wapo.st/45VkEK5

I’m sorry but this is INSANE
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.

“Wild” is one word for it…
It's wild when you think about it: D.C. had a balanced budget, the House went ahead and unbalanced it to the tune of $1.1 billion, the Senate fixed it, the House sat on the fix, and now D.C. may have to make cuts to programs and staff to address a problem not of its own making.

Congressional Republicans’ proposed stopgap budget resolution would “cut DC’s funding and impact Home Rule mid-way through the fiscal year… This means a nearly $945 million cut for the District, impacting teachers, firefighters, and law enforcement.”

GOP spending bill would lead to $1 billion in D.C. cuts, city officials say
The bill aimed at preventing a government shutdown would make D.C. revert to its 2024 spending. City officials fear cuts to police, schools and other services.

But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
