DM Appiah is testifying before Council today on two bills addressing domestic violence. Mayor Bowser’s legislation would strengthen court order enforcement, increase offender accountability, and more. 📺 Watch: dc.granicus.com/player/event… Press conference: xitter.cf/MayorBowser/status/204…

Earlier a gas line was ruptured during construction at Hotel Harrington. Due to the scope of the rupture, we had to shut off power to the site, which included the surrounding blocks. The gas to the building has now been shut off and Pepco is working to restore power.

I am heartbroken. Talib was truly one of the kindest, selfless people I have ever met. I am so thankful our paths crossed.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Talib Shakir, Director of the Mayor’s Office on Returning Citizen Affairs. We share our love, condolences, and prayers with Talib’s family and loved ones, the entire MORCA team, and all the members of our community relations teams who loved and learned from Talib.

Today, the District’s Chief Financial Officer released the revised revenue estimates. The projected upcoming losses reflect the softening local jobs market in the wake of federal job losses. My statement:

Today’s Fiesta DC Parade was a beautiful celebration of the culture and contributions of our Latino communities in Washington, DC. Thank you to all of the DC Gov workers who made today's event seamless, to everyone who walked with us, and to all of our community members who came out to celebrate with us.

We're naming today, 9-25, Dolly Parton Day in Washington, DC. Dolly Parton showed generations of people that a legacy is measured not only by the songs written or accolades earned, but also by what we give to others. That legacy is especially reflected in our Books from Birth partnership with Dolly's Imagination Library, which has delivered nearly four million books to more than 100,000 DC children over the past decade. My full proclamation:
