Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

This week's Thanksgiving travel is set to break records.

If you're traveling, be kind to those around you.

And remember that flying sucks so much these days because of the greed of the airlines. https://youtu.be/eTzaMXXelew?si=Iadyozwl-WcAKwzT

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

I will not whitewash the white supremacist that was Charlie Kirk. For someone so young, what an embarrassment of hatreds he left us to excoriate him with.

This week the House will vote on four bills attacking DC. Nine more are in the works.

No one in DC wants these measures. They will not support our safety.

We want every Democrat to VOTE NO on all of these bills. Make calls today and tomorrow to 30 priority reps: freedcproject.org/news/make-ca...

Our demand remains: ICE OUT OF DC. NATIONAL GUARD GO HOME.

Trump's control over MPD has now expired but the federal occupation of DC is still going strong. Agents are still harassing and detaining people — including this morning in Columbia Heights.

A party that is breaking the law left and right shouldn’t be telling DC how to do anything.

We're at the House Oversight Committee this morning to make it clear DC communities don't want ANY interference from federal forces or this Congress.

Our home, our rules, always.

The Justice Department is compiling the largest set of national voter roll data it has ever collected. They claim their goal is to prove that “troves of undocumented immigrants have voted illegally.” That’s not the real objective.

This photo was taken of miners at the end of their shift during the Gilded Age before they were unionized.

A Labor Day reminder of the blood, sweat, and tears that those before us paid to give the working class the basic rights that Trump and his thugs are trying to strip away.
