The bill in the Senate this week that will attempt to interfere in DC's tax code is chaotic, bad, and should get voted down — but don't take our word for it.

Tomorrow the Senate is expected to vote on a bill aimed at interfering in DC's local tax code.
This move would thrust DC into financial chaos, hurting families and helping an administration that we know thrives on confusion and fear.

Minnesota Nice, though much mocked, usually by Minnesotans, is real. Maybe it’s the fact that MN was founded by immigrants who came from dark cold places and knew that the only way to live in a dark cold places is with each other’s aid. Maybe it’s just a sense of local pride…

Ahead of tomorrow's D.C. Council vote on a bill delaying ranked-choice voting, five candidates in the Ward 1 race say lawmakers should "bolster the efforts of the Board of Elections rather than wasting time and sowing doubt about the rules of an election that is underway."

Here's a fun fact for week 2 of the federal shutdown:
Number of appropriations bills passed by the House this year: 3
Number of anti-DC bills passed by the House this year: 7
Even when the House was in session, Republicans were spending time harassing DC instead of doing their jobs #FreeDC

The red states have been taker states for decades. People in blue states already pay for the bad policies and low taxes of red states in all sorts of things like bailouts, federal spending, disaster relief. Just look at Texas.
It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?
Next move from OMB - canceling $8 billion in clean energy funds. You will note, all of the projects are in states led by Democrats

Never thought I’d see the day when Brooke Pinto took a stand for the people of DC over @cmzparker5.bsky.social, but yesterday was that day. ZP denied primaries to independents, and tried to kill I-83 by study. I’m angry that it didn’t even take him one whole term to turn into McDuffie lite.

And, restaurant workers aren't the only tipped workers.
Last point: While it's easy to trash the council for going back and forth on this, the tipped wage is a very complex issue. The restaurant industry is very diverse, so you have employers and employees on both sides of this. "Listen to the workers!" Umm, which ones?

BREAKING: Judge blocks President Trump’s unconstitutional campaign to radically restructure and dismantle the federal government.
This ruling is one of many that prove Elon Musk, DOGE, and even the president himself are not above the rule of law and the will of the American people.

If only they could all pass the torch so gracefully.
The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator.
But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch.
So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.
