I am so confused by this
WT entire F??????
It's oversight season at the council. Today, @trayonwhite is inquiring about what's happening at @DYRSDC in terms of services and data collection. More to come in a future @WashInformer story. For now, check out my previous reporting on this matter. washingtoninformer.com/dc-youth-servi…
I support this
If Trump or Biden our next president we all should be ashamed and the world is laughing at us. I want better candidates on both sides PLEASE
Your regular reminder that Old Lisa “liked” Janeese’s approach on public safety a whole lot before New Lisa made her whole campaign about opposing it.
From today’s hiring fair at MLK Library. People want and deserve good-paying jobs. Bonus—investing in workforce development is investing in public safety. This line proves there should be more opportunities for employment across the District.

@20003ist You know I know the answer to that. But also super fun to imagine how much the ass clowns running the recall faux outrage machine are going to cost the city if they are actually successful in getting enough signatures? How many schools could that fully fund?
@20003ist Man not from DC realizes something that people from DC talk about a lot… his BFF Pinto is also from very wealthy suburb, but a suburb of NYC

This is what @CMBrookePinto made it easier for MPD to get away w/. That’s why she pushed hard to allow police to review body camera footage before making their statements in order to get their stories together. Nothing to do w/ public safety. She’s a liar & needs to be voted out.

A mask causing somebody fear is subjective. This portion of the bill will create an avenue for white people to call the police on Black youth as mentioned by @ZacharyforWard5
I'm overall disgusted at B. Pintobean for hosting those hearings and ignoring what the people who are most impacted by crime had to say. We live, work, teach, coach, mentor etc "high-risk" youth and offered what we believe will work...nothing What a waste..
One day, my mommy and daddy will buy me a council seat in a city I'm not from and then I'll get to play Tiny Town with the lives of people I have absolutely no frame of reference for.
A job is an immediate public safety solution for someone who is desperate and on the brink. Stable housing is an immediate solution. Good (culturally competent, credible) mentors are an immediate solution. Hunger prevention is an immediate solution.
There is a BS narrative that people don’t care about victims …. It’s such a blessing to come from a place where there is a clear line between victim and perpetrator Where we come from the line can be incredibly blurry That’s why you have compassion across the spectrum

MY VIEW: Today's legislative meeting is packed. Hundreds flooded the Wilson Building. There's much fervor about striking down, or at least changing provisions, within the Secure D.C. Omnibus Amendment Act. @WashInformer Collins Council Report coming soon...

Good morning! A friendly reminder that knocking doors to support your candidate > tweeting against a candidate. Out in Lamond neighborhood today. Let’s do this @Janeese4DC! #DCision24
As of a month and a half in, we're on track for a 40% decline in homicides and a 10% decline in crime overall for 2024. It's still early, and there are still some troubled spots like robberies and a high rate of carjackings, but it is an auspicious start to the year.
Hey DC stop looking at what councilmembers say and start looking at their voting record and read the shit they vote on because a lot of them contradict themselves
His policies have not changed since 2014, literally they’re the same thing. I’ve criticized him on a ton of policies from education, or to frankly just being more bold. If you feel that strongly about it, organized to run someone against him like y’all could’ve done in 2020.
@20003ist Facts? Keyboard man you haven’t offered any facts on what Allen has done or is currently doing to make DC safer and more vibrant. Being arrogant and living in denial is a problem if you’re a public official. Again the guy is doubling down on failed policies/rheortic.
Glad to have reached a deal to purchase these two hotels to significantly expand our ability to address the needs of Baltimore’s most vulnerable residents. Thanks to @BaltimoreMOHS, @recoverbmore, and all of our partners for working to secure a fair deal for the city.
I’m not trying to be funny or anything but we already knew these things in 2014, and in the 2018 Democratic primary, this was brought up a lot. Again, I’m not trying to be funny or petty, but this is how you know people haven’t been paying attention to local politics.
I didn’t realize that both @TommyWells and @charlesallen were raised in the very wealthy suburb of Homewood, Alabama. Ward 6 has been represented by someone from Alabama for almost 20 years in a row.
It didn’t get a lot of attention today, but the Council also unanimously passed the STEER Act on second vote. This legislation will help the District better hold accountable dangerous drivers and move us closer toward our Vision Zero goals.
Council just gave final & unanimous approval to our STEER Act to hold dangerous drivers accountable. Last year, DC issued 50,000+ tickets for speeding 20-30 mph OVER the limit. Our law creates commonsense measures to reduce speeding & reckless driving on our neighborhood streets.
What if we invested all those funds that incarceration and post-incarceration will cost society, the communities and families?
One day, my mommy and daddy will buy me a council seat in a city I'm not from and then I'll get to play Tiny Town with the lives of people I have absolutely no frame of reference for.
This amendment was APPROVED by a vote of 10-3!
Secure DC leans heavily on punishment, but that alone won't be enough. Ending cycles of violence also requires rehabilitation. I am moving an amendment to accelerate record sealing and expungement in DC — lifting barriers to housing and jobs for thousands of returning citizens.
Thank you @CM_McDuffie for reminding the council that this is not an evidence based decision. Vibes is not an acceptable reason to lock people up on pretrial detention, and complaining constituents should not be confused for data. But go further, strike the provision
We call DC a city of second chances, but those second chances aren’t materializing for many DC residents who have returned to our city but are struggling to find jobs or housing because of their records. Lifting those barriers will make all of us safer. Rehabilitation matters.
Secure DC leans heavily on punishment, but that alone won't be enough. Ending cycles of violence also requires rehabilitation. I am moving an amendment to accelerate record sealing and expungement in DC — lifting barriers to housing and jobs for thousands of returning citizens.
The DC Council should never amend legislation out of fear of what Congress may or may not do, be it potential policy riders on the annual spending bills or disapproval resolutions!
It's deeply disheartening to witness @CMBrookePinto's agenda seemingly prioritize the MAGA Congress over the needs of DC constituents. Whose side are you truly on?
T White now raising concern about hiding ID of police officers under investigation. Mendelson says public notice required for adverse action hearings, public will learn details of allegations. Pinto adds that Congress just today wiped out the whole adverse action process
How it works. DC is the petri dish for the socialist extremists. Passing their legislation here gives them a national platform & helps them fundraise. That money train comes to an end if DC rolls back all their whacky ideas. Defeating them in DC puts an end to their movement.
“D.C. Council member Zachary Parker introduced legislation last week that would prohibit DC Water from shutting off residential customers for nonpayment, a practice he called ‘inhumane.’” washingtoninformer.com/dc-water-shuto…
@WashInformer An upcoming @WashInformer article will explore TOPA in deeper context and current efforts to preserve and improve the longtime housing affordability tool.
@WashInformer just touched down on the Maycroft where tenants who exercised their TOPA rights faced, and overcame, a bogus lawsuit to preserve their affordable housing.
Who is tracking these amendments? Looking forward to the @SamPKCollins report & missing @maustermuhle’s live tweets.
MY VIEW: Today's legislative meeting is packed. Hundreds flooded the Wilson Building. There's much fervor about striking down, or at least changing provisions, within the Secure D.C. Omnibus Amendment Act. @WashInformer Collins Council Report coming soon...
It's official. @DonnieSimpson just announced that "The Donnie Simpson Show" on @MajicDC 102.3/92.7 will be ending on Friday. It's unfortunate, but Donnie stressed that he is NOT retiring. (Neither am I!) It's been a great run, and we hope you'll join us for our final two shows!
