Thank you DC for the opportunity to continue serving as one of your At-Large DC Councilmembers for another 4 years! The road ahead will be challenging, but I’m up to the task.
It’s been a long road on this one. Glad we got part of it done today!
An amazing win for the District! Thank you to @chenderson & @BrianneKNadeau for leading on this and to @Janeese4DC, @charlesallen, @brookepintodc, @CMFrumin, @ZacharyforWard5, and @RobertWhite_DC for supporting full funding for RCV in FY26, beginning with our June 2026 primary!
Let’s talk about some of these policy riders specifically for DC that the House is voting on today. House Republicans are saying we’re extreme but they want to allow employers to fire you for private reproductive health decisions you may make.
Whew…I surely hope the W and the owners get it together with these CBA negotiations. #wnba #WNBAAllStarWeekend
We have reports of numerous roads closed due to high water on the north side of the DC Metro where rainfall totals have exceeded 3" in an hour. Remember, if you encounter a flooded roadway, turn around, don't drown!
Sabrina Ionescu gets $62,575 for winning the 3PT Contest: - $2,575 from WNBA - $60K from Aflac, a WNBPA partner If the WNBA raises the prize in the next CBA, Aflac will bridge the gap to $60K, should there be one, an exec tells FOS. They will also explore rewarding runner-ups.
Mannnnnnnn Big Ellie about to cut up. Tash and Sab winning tonight. #WNBAAllStar2025
Republicans kicked the can down the road with their harmful healthcare cuts, but the education ones are going to be felt more immediately. ⬇️
Following passage of OBBB, @usedgov announces they'll soon begin reducing federal student loan access for part-time students. Students often work multiple jobs or care for children, and reduced borrowing could severely threaten their basic needs security. fsapartners.ed.gov/knowledge-cent…

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
So the Supreme Court said Biden couldn't cancel student loans without congress but Trump can dismantle the entire fucking Department of Education?
Looking forward to RCV coming to the District soon.
