The fact he has been so quiet yet raising so much money is a huge tell in it self about his constituency, hint it’s not residents, but will largely get overlooked. But he was never attending a transpo forum unless it was for the church parking lot commission on historical parking lots.

Notably, no McDuffie on this list as I'm hearing lots of people wondering when his campaign will get more visible. He missed last week's big Anacostia gathering to attend a fundraiser with Bowser pal Ben Soto, multiple sources tell me, which many see as a big missed opportunity.

@kenyanmcduffie.bsky.social where are you at?? We invited you!!

Candidates who have RSVPed so far! Final list will be out by the end of the week!

Elect bold leaders!

Americans are struggling to afford housing, food, healthcare and so much more and our government’s answer is to use our taxpayer dollars to go to war — a war that makes everyone in DC and the country less safe. Today’s attack is reckless, unconstitutional and Congress must act.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

We need local leaders to push back on this and speak to the National press- Trump is using his "takeover" of DC as an example of what happens if he takes over Venezuela.

I also think our local governments should be calling on Congress re articles of impeachment and condemning our war criminal president.

Probably no coincidence that Janeese Lewis George chose this morning to forcefully endorse Robert White for the delegate seat. Also notable that Pinto is listing an endorsement from former Ward 3 CM Mary Cheh on her website. This race is gonna be spicy…

A former Ward 2 ANC just filed a complaint about CM Pinto's (mis)use of Office resources. She sent a citywide mailer days before she announced a run for districtwide office. drive.google.com/file/d/1qP9V...

"They're using this moment that Trump has built up around 'making DC safer' and attempting to run the city in many aspects to raise these points again and push their own personal agendas," said Jeremiah Lowery of D.C's Bike, Walk and Bus PAC usa.streetsblog.org/2025/09/10/r...

The continued federal occupation is causing significant delays in various city projects, as workers are fearful of working here and companies are hesitant to send workers and vehicles into the city, due to concerns about ICE and federal enforcement efforts. #FREEDC

DC HILL NEWS: The House Oversight Committee just posted its notice and memo for a 10am ET, Wednesday, September 10 markup, focusing on 14 bills impacting the District of Columbia. Bill text here: docs.house.gov/Committee/Ca... 8-page memo here: docs.house.gov/meetings/GO/...

In 2023, the District and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (“Metro”) piloted free and discounted fares for low-income residents. They found that discounts increased public transit use and well-being.

This video makes it clear that many federal agents aren’t stopping residents based on warrants or reasonable suspicion — they’re abducting people based on racial profiling and only then releasing them once their status is verified. This is blatantly unconstitutional.

This is so, so sad to see. The vendors are a part of our community. They bring life to a part of the neighborhood that's surrounded by big box stores and corporations. And I'm so angry that they are forced to hide to stay safe.

I saw 7 MPD cars in Petworth while biking to dinner last night so I stopped. They had detained 3 Latino men who were sitting on the ground. They were detained for drinking in public. They’d been working on the lawn across the street & took a break on the curb to have a Modelo. That’s it.

It's wild to see no vendors out in the morning in front of the Target in Columbia Heights DC

As if this week were not bizarre enough: Mount Pleasant residents tell me a group of federal agents gathered for a photo-op near a pro-immigrant banner, pictured below, then tore it down. In its place, they left a dildo. A neighbor's Ring camera captured the whole thing...

In our interview with NBC4, Bike, Walk, and Bus PAC explained how Trump's road proposals would undo years of work to make our streets safer, especially for the most vulnerable road users. Watch the full story here: www.nbcwashington.com/video/news/l...

Trump's attacks on traffic safety medians are also dangerous. They are sometimes broken because of reckless drivers. We need local leaders who will stand up for DC autonomy and traffic safety.

Say what you will about Bowser, but she's very good at disappearing for days when people want a comment from her.

Good time for the DC Council & Mayor to have an emergency press conference, & announce emergency public meetings in neighborhoods throughout DC to inform the public about what Trump's takeover of mpd means for the District Alot of residents are probably really confused right now

For all intents and purposes, D.C. has now lost local control of its police department.

I wish DC had nice things (mayoral candidates who are pro multimodal transportation) too

Making efforts to improve because there was a whole ass citywide campaign about how the Council can be run and operate better. And it resonated with a lot of people! erinfordc.medium.com/dc-council-a...

Robert White continuing to be one of the most disappointing Councilmembers. Cherry picking data, conflating and confusing affordable housing mechanisms, and acting to strip important tenant protections when the playing field is already so very stacked against them. Smh.

WTF. A woman in DC was killed by Trump’s military parade— run over in NE by a truck carrying a tank that had no business on a DC street. As far as I know no media have asked Trump if his birthday parade was worth this woman’s life. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Medicaid cuts don't matter because "we are all going to die" does not seem like a winning political message www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

🚨Hidden within the budget presented to the DC Council this week was a provision that would roll back essential protections for our vibrant immigrant community – neighbors who are a vital thread within the District’s fabric.

“After library officials resisted, the DOJ officials departed without resolving the conflict.” One of those sentences that tells you who and where we are as a country in 2025: librarians are braver than law firms and CEOs.

Today I sent the Mayor a letter demanding that she respect the law and send the Council the FY26/Supplemental FY25 budget, both of which are 6 weeks overdue. It is disrespectful to the Council and the public. Read the full letter here or at: chairmanmendelson.com/2025/05/12/m...
