I want ICE out of DC for good and think DC should stop working with them and push them to leave

Washington DC is the only jurisdiction in the nation that has to wait with bated breath to see if out-of-state politicians have used the federal budget to impose their values on us and repeal local laws. It is wrong, and the only solution to this injustice is DC Statehood. I will keep pushing for it

After refusing to use the National Guard to stop a mob of violent MAGA criminals, five years later the President has deployed them as political props on the streets of DC as part of his agenda to recreate DC in his far-right image

We are being governed by the most corrupt, self-serving President this country has ever seen. DC has borne the brunt because we are not a state. The attempt to seize control of DC's public golf courses is another (small) example of how this harms regular people in DC and nationwide

Even before taking formal control of the site, the Administration has begun remaking the East Potomac Golf Links by dumping the construction debris from their illegal razing of the East Wing of the White House at East Potomac. Layers upon layers of self-dealing
