MPD is funded by local DC taxpayers. I will not allow a bill to progress that would force DC to fund a local police force for the president to use indefinitely. Rep. Ogles' bill is yet another extreme attack on DC home rule. This will not stand.

It's been four days since Trump took over MPD and deployed the National Guard, but I wanna give a high-five to the city's small-but-mighty corps of reporters and citizen journalists. It's easy to be down on the state of journalism, but local reporters still rise to the challenge.

The EO allowing MPD to share immigration information with feds is outrageous. My colleagues and I are discussing the legality of this move and what actions we can take. We are a city that welcomes all and protects our residents.

We have a lot to be proud of in Washington, but what I am most proud of are our people and values.
And what I have seen over this past week is a city that knows how to stick together.

There's concern about African American artifacts being removed @smithsonian Today the museum issued its official statement. This is personal for me as my cousin, Jibreel Khazan, is one of the two still living members of the Greensboro Four. @WashInformer
