"Since retaking office, Trump has floated an executive order cracking down on crime in DC, told reporters the federal government “should take over” the city due to crime...In early February, two Congressmen introduced a bill to strip DC of its local governance entirely. The reason? Also crime."
Opinion: Trump is stoking fears about D.C.'s crime but the city is safer than it's been in decades.
In the past, fears about crime have produced regressive and punitive policies. Now is the time for D.C. to invest in preventative solutions.

People are slamming Mamdani for “trying to do too much at the age of 33” and frankly they have a point because we have zero examples from history of a 33-year-old brown immigrant who opposed the elites & condemned greed while demanding access to food, healthcare, housing, & loving all thy neighbors.

Texas Republicans just passed a bill forcing every teacher to post the Ten Commandments in their classroom.
They passed it on the Sabbath… breaking the 4th Commandment.
Maybe they should try following the Ten Commandments before mandating them.
