Last night, the House passed two bills that will unravel years of criminal justice reform in DC. This unprecedented act of federal interference is a threat to the District's right to self-governance.

Federal Efforts to Reinstate Cash Bail in DC Disproportionately Harms Black Residents

This bill is a disgrace and I'm sick at the thought of all of the harm this will cause in the short term and for decades to come.

Sometimes it's not that weird to live in DC and then sometimes you're trying to decide if it's worth it to yell at the United States Senator ahead of you in the TSA line, because he's made some awful policy decisions lately
