Rep. Jamie Raskin joined many concerned DC residents, in a streamed zoom meeting. He talked about ending the "emergency" that the government imposed. He cares about residents and wants to defend DC in Congress. Home Rule. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHLZ...

Statement from Councilmember Robert White on Federal Control of the Metropolitan Police Department

Earlier today Donald Trump announced that he is requesting MPD to redirect resources, and plans to deploy the National Guard to DC. This is a dangerous escalation for our communities. Here's what how everyone in DC can help our communities weather what's ahead. 🧵

The President taking over local control of MPD & putting the US military onto the streets of DC under the guise of public safety is wrong. It’s an extreme, outrageous, and dangerous move for our city and the safety of all our residents. (1/5)

This NY carpetbagger is destroying democracy, decorum and now the District.

What's going on in DC? Tyranny and the complete control of the city by the Trump admin. The National Guard, FBI, and other police/military are coming to town, to patrol the streets. Violent Crime is down, this is so unnecessary. This is a distraction from Files that need to be released.

Trivia Night!

It's time for back to school!
