This would throttle DC’s ability to self-govern. The $1b hole in DC‘s budget was caused by Congress, not the District, which has balanced its budget 31 years in a row. We should have the right to implement sound tax policy like any other jurisdiction. #handsoffdc oversight.house.gov/release/chai...

City Administrator Kevin Donahue🟪 Code Purple air quality alert issued for DC! During Code Purple alert, the risk of health effects is increased for everyone.

New: A "bottle bill" could soon pass in D.C., but faces big complaints from local businesses (not to mention a major industry lobbying campaign) about its impacts on the economy. Will it make things harder on brewers/liquor stores? Or open up new avenues for entrepreneurs? wamu.org/story/26/07/...

The bottle bill will remove a huge portion of litter from neighborhoods & parks & rivers. The cost of beverages will won't change—consumers pay the deposit & get it back when they return their empties. It works in 10 states w/more than 90m people. It will work in DC. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

This is another example of Pres. Trump using the military to try to intimidate our citizens. He’s done this across the country and DC has been under occupation for almost a year. DC residents won’t stand for the occupation of our city, our streets or our beloved parks. National Guard please go home.
Mayor Bowser activated an extreme heat alert from today thru Sunday, July 5. We've collected tips on staying healthy in the heat and information about cooling centers, pools, and more. brianneknadeau.com/extreme-heat...
We passed a budget that restored holes in the social safety net. But we'll have an even bigger hole to fill next year. I'm proposing a Wealth Proceeds Tax to make sure the budget isn't balanced on the backs of those who can least afford it. brianneknadeau.com/fy27-budget-...
Not if I can help it! The Committee on Public Works & Operations I chair partnered w/@cmchenderson.bsky.social to full restore the Food Policy Council, Nourish DC & $9m total on food access for 4years w/$$ from a proposed 20 cent surcharge on food deliveries. 51st.news/dc-food-acce...
POTUS sends armed thugs into our community to instill fear and exert power. I’m proud of neighbors who care for each other and turn out on a moment’s notice to stand together against fascism, who show what it means to be a supportive and protective community. We will not back down. We will persist.
Alex KomaThere's video circulating on Insta of a tense scene in Mt. Pleasant last night: More than a dozen federal agents were in Lamont Plaza arresting a man for an open container violation. A woman holding a bat began heckling them, prompting US Marshals to draw their guns on her.
✅ Safe public spaces. ✅ More access to food. ✅ Healthcare for those without. ✅ More housing for families. ✅ Fewer rats, more public restrooms! ✅ Improved public spaces. The budget is better than when we got it AND we have lots still to do. Let’s go! brianneknadeau.com/lets-plug-so...
